can you recommend books about elizabeth and edward ?

Hi! I'm sorry, i'm super late for this reply.

For Elizabeth Woodville:

"Elizabeth Woodville: Mother of the Princes in the Tower" by David Baldwin - my peronal favourite biography, very detailed, can be a bit dry but disspels many myths about her and treats her with great respect not only as a mother and wife but as a queen.

"Elizabeth: England's Slandered Queen (England's Forgotten Queens)" by Arlene Okerlund - a well written biography with lots on information not only about Elizabeth but also her Woodville family.

"The Woodvilles" by Susan Higginbotham - very pro-Elizabeth and her family as the title suggests, anti-ricardian.

"The Women of the Cousins' War: The Duchess, the Queen and the King's Mother" - Elizabeth's section is written by David Baldwin.

"Royal Witches: Witchcraft and Nobility in Fifteenth Century England" by Gemma Hollman - despite the dubious title a very sympathetic book towards royal women (Joan of Navarre, Jacquetta of Luxemburg and Elizabeth Woodville) in the 15th century accused of witchcraft during their time. Elizabeth's chapter is well researched.

For Edward IV:

"Edward IV" by Charles Ross - a classic biography, rather dry but rich on primary sources.

"Edward IV: Glorious Son of York" by Jeffrey James - a sympathetic biography that shows Edward as man of his times, who won battles but also had an unwarlike disposition and who cared about his family but also had a temper.

"Edward IV and the Wars of the Roses" by David Santiuste - more about Edward IV's military pursuits than life as a king, still a good read.

For Edward and Elizabeth:

"Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville: A True Romance" by Amy Licence - I'd say this double biography focuses more on Edward than Elizabeth but its a well written book and the author clearly has a lot of love for her research and dispels some myths about them.

Fiction:

"The White Rose" by Jan Westcot - my all time favorite Edward and Elizabeth novel. It presents an interesting (and more believable imo) idea how they could have met (not "the waiting under the oak tree" version) and has so many scenes with them and their kids, portraying loving family during turbulent times. Can be cheesy as it's written in the 60s or 70s.

"The Golden Widows" by Isolde Martyn - a double romance with Kate Neville and Lord Hastings and Elizabeth Woodville and Edward IV. Touches on Elizabeth's more practical side and shows her life a bit with her first husband and her struggles after his death and ultimately romance with Edward.

"The White Queen" by Philippa Gregory - hear me out! if you ignore all the bullshit about witchcraft and other misogynic stuff the book is hot for Edward and Elizabeth fans.
