{"product_id":"elizabeth-and-essex-lytton-strachey-9780156027618","title":"Elizabeth and Essex: A Tragic History","description":"One of the most famous and baffling romances in history-between Elizabeth I, Queen of England and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex-began in May of 1587, when she was fifty-three and he was just shy of twenty. Their relationship continued until 1601, when the Earl of Essex was beheaded for treason. And, in a succession of brilliant scenes, Strachey portrays the Queen's and the Earl's compelling attraction for on another, their impassioned disagreements, and their mutual contest for power, which led to a final, tragic confrontation. Here we also have superb portraits of influential people of the time: Francis Bacon, Robert Cecil, Walter Raleigh, and other figures of the court who struggled to assert themselves in a kingdom that was primarily defined by her sovereign, and so now seen through history's lens as Elizabethan England. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lytton Strachey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0156027615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156027618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.46w x 0.73d","brand":"Lytton Strachey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993932497151,"sku":"9780156027618","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_441ddf24-ef32-46f3-9fd5-7e0731ca0f4a.jpg?v=1683327145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elizabeth-and-essex-lytton-strachey-9780156027618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
