Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Walter Raleigh streaked across the Elizabeth heavens like a bright, shining star. Often regarded as a true Renaissance man-that is, a man gifted with many talents and abilities-he lived life to the fullest. Born to adventure, Raleigh parlayed a sharp mind and a yen for prestige and power into enough living for a dozen lesser men . As soldier, swashbuckler, writer, historian, poet, explorer, businessman, and more, he rose in favor at the court of Elizabeth I-England's Good Queen Bess-and made history as he wrote it. Raleigh fought courageously for England in France, Ireland, and elsewhere at sea. He founded the first American colony at Roanoke Island in the New World, introduced tobacco and the potato to Ireland, and searched for the golden city of El Dorado in South America. At the peak of his fame-some say infamy-he knelt down as a commoner and arose as a knight. When fortune failed him, and his star fizzled out, he showed brave men how to die. Book jacket.

Download or read book Bess written by Anna R. Beer and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the start of her liaison with Sir Walter Ralegh, Beth Throckmorton, maid of honour to Queen Elizabeth I, was thrown into the dangerous and violent political world of Elizabethan England. Overlooked by the court and high society, dismissed with no rights as a woman in a fiercely male establishment, she was yet forced to play for high stakes. Her acute intelligence and commercial acumen ensured her survival. Indeed, so great was her success that two monarchs, Elizabeth I and her successor James I, felt threatened by her and sought to destroy her. But her success in her pursuit of power and wealth, in her struggle for justice and to create a future for herself and her children did not come without its price: her own imprisonment and interrogation, banishment and destitution; the loss of her husband and two of her three children. Her ultimate triumph over adversity is an extraordinarily dramatic and compelling story, till now untold. As the wife of Sir Walter Ralegh, the Elizabethan adventurer and scholar, Bess Ralegh was to become the driving force behind his spectacular public achievements and the focus of stability in his otherwise turbulent private life. Later, as his widow, she shrewdly ensured his heroic reputation. But Bess Ralegh was more than a foil for her husband. Her independence of spirit had led her to resist marriage at 17 and eight years later to embark upon the passionate and illicit affair with Ralegh. Her remarkable emotional strength and resilience sustained her throughout successive personal tragedies and political disasters that could and did break others, her husband among them. Each time misfortune struck, she rallied. Twice from scratch, she rebuilt her fortune, taking on her enemies with a courage and resilience that make her a woman as remarkable today as she was in her own time. She is here brought brilliantly to life by Anna Beer in a perceptive and immensely enjoyable biography.

Download or read book My Just Desire written by Anna R. Beer and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young, beautiful, and connected by blood to the most powerful families in England, Bess Throckmorton had as much influence over Queen Elizabeth I as any woman in the realm—but she risked everything to marry the most charismatic man of the day. The secret marriage between Bess and the Queen’s beloved Sir Walter Ralegh cost both of them their fortunes, their freedom, and very nearly their lives. Yet it was Bess, resilient, passionate, and politically shrewd, who would live to restore their name and reclaim her political influence. In this dazzling biography, Bess Ralegh finally emerges from her husband’s shadow to stand as a complex, commanding figure in her own right. Writing with grace and drama, Anna Beer brings Bess to life as a woman, a wife and mother, an intimate friend of poets and courtiers, and a skilled political infighter in Europe’s most powerful and most dangerous court. The only daughter of an ambitious aristocratic family, Bess was thrust at a tender age into the very epicenter of royal power when her parents secured her the position of Elizabeth’s Gentlewoman of the Privy Chamber. Bess proved to be a natural player on this stage of extravagant mythmaking and covert sexual politics, until she fell in love with the Queen’s Captain of the Guard, the handsome, virile, meteorically rising Ralegh. But their secret marriage, swiftly followed by the birth of their son, would have grave consequences for both of them. Brooking the Queen’s wrath and her husband’s refusal to acknowledge their marriage, Bess brilliantly stage-managed her social and political rehabilitation and emerged from prison as the leader of a brilliant, fast-living aristocratic set. She survived personal tragedy, the ruinous global voyages launched by her husband, and the vicious plots of high-placed enemies. Though Raleigh in the end fell afoul of court intrigue, Bess lived on into the reign of James I as a woman of hard-won wisdom and formidable power. With compelling historical insight, Anna Beer recreates here the vibrant pageant of Elizabethan England—the brilliant wit and vicious betrayals, the new discoveries and old rivalries, the violence and fierce sexuality of life at court. Peopled by poets and princes, spanning the reigns of two monarchs, moving between the palaces of London and the manor house outside the capital, My Just Desire is the portrait of a remarkable woman who lived at the center of an extraordinary time.
