A.N. Wilson

The Elizabethans

Buch

Elizabethan England. It was a time of war and plague, politics and rebellion, personal heroism and religious fanaticism. If you were born poor, you stayed poor, and thumbscrews and the rack may have been the grim prelude to the executioner's block. But it was also an age that encouraged literary genius, global exploration, and timeless beauty. And it was a time when only the machinations of ruthless intriguers like William Cecil and Francis Walsingham prevented Elizabeth's kingdom from descending into anarchy and political chaos. Both fascinating and entertaining, THE ELIZABETHANS explores what life was really like under Elizabeth I.
