“Professor Neale gives a clear and concise survey of the period of the French wars of religion, describing the religious and social conditions which provoked them.  The Age of Catherine De Medici provides the continental background to Elizabethan History, many aspects of which are discussed in Essays in Elizabethan History.  Professor Neale shows how the past throws light upon the present, as well as the present on the past.”
