Gloriana
Gloriana won the World Fantasy Award and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction. In this fantasy, the vast empire of Albion is ruled by the beautiful and forlorn queen, Gloriana, who must battle against a nefarious scoundrel, Captain Quire, and a court soured by debauchery with her wits. First published in 1978, Gloriana is the story set in the alternate English kingdom of Albion that reimagines Queen Elizabeth's reign. Bawdy, cruel, and brilliant, Gloriana is often cited as one of the great works of speculative fiction and fantasy.
