Description

Sir Walter Raleigh-A portrait of the man who truly embodied the Renaissance ideals of the Elizabethan age, Irwin explores the many sides to Raleigh: the explorer, the sailor, the advisor, the literary patron, and above all, the pioneer. A noted authority on Elizabethan England, Irwin conquers Raleigh's tale with wit and dexterity, weaving Raleigh's own journals into a broader historical context. From the glory filled days under Elizabeth I to his loss of favour and eventual execution under James I, this epic biography is an enthralling account of one of the most significant figures in British history." 340p, plates bibliograpy
