Product Description

Review
," . . this substantial volume brings together all that is known of his correspondence, uncollected since 1868 and much expanded and refined. Students of history and literature will grasp at this book as it throws a beam across the glorious, if storm - tossed, life of one of the more attractive (perhaps the most attractive) personality of a late Tudor and early Jacobean statesman, poet and adventurer. . . Joyce Youings has done a fine job. She has given us the essentials of Agnes Latham''s long labours and added her own academic and editing skills to make the volume one of the finest editions to English Renaissance scholarship we are likely to see in this last year of the millennium." -South West Soundings, October 1999

Product Description
This edition contains the full text, in the original spelling, with modern punctuation of all known surviving letters of Sir Walter Ralegh. The letters help to reconcile the family man, never happier than at home in the West Country estate, with one who is revered, especially in North America, as the founder and inspirer of English overseas settlements. They show him drawn both to towards his native West Country, where he was not universally admired, and towards the Court at Westminster where lay the determination of the success or failure of his enterprises.
