Elizabeth and Essex: A Tragic History. Strachey, Lytton:
Lediglich die Broschur ist leicht bestoßen und papierbedingt minimal gebräunt. Sonst aber ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ Only the brochure is slightly bumped and minimally browned due to the paper. Otherwise a very good and clean copy. - This magnificent evocation of the sixteenth century dramatizes one of the most famous and most baffling romances in historybetween Elizabeth I, Queen of England, and Robert Devereux, the vital, handsome Earl of Essex. It began in May of 1587 when she was fifty-three and Essex was not yet twenty and continued until 1601, when he was beheaded for treason. In a succession of brilliant scenes, Strachey portrays their compelling attraction for one another, their impassioned disagreements, and their mutual contest for power, which led to a final, tragic confrontation.
