Elizabeth and Essex Strachey Lytton
One of the most famous and tortured romances in history between Elizabeth I, Queen of England, and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex began in 1587, when she was fifty-three and he was nineteen. In a fast-paced succession of brilliantly-rendered scenes, Lytton Strachey portrays Elizabeth and Essex s compelling attraction for each other, their impassioned disagreements and their mutual struggle for power, which culminated so tragically for both of them. Their passionate affair continued for five years, until Essex was beheaded for treason in 1601.
Lytton Strachey here Alongside the doomed love affair, Strachey pins colourful portraits of the leading characters and influential figures of the time: Francis Bacon, Walter Raleigh, Robert Cecil and other members of her glittering court who fought to assert themselves in a kingdom and a country defined by Elizabeth s incomparable reign.
