Book Description
The Earl of Essex was the last great favourite of Elizabeth I and the leading cultural patron of the final years of her reign. Dazzled by the 'romantic' relationship with the queen, modern writers have branded Essex a dandy, a military incompetent, and a political dabbler, and have blamed him for the bitter factionalism which plagued English politics in the 1590s. Using an unparalleled range of manuscript and printed sources, this book presents a very different image of Essex and of the outbreak of faction in Elizabethan politics.
