| Description: |
This biography is based on the chronology of Ralegh's own writings and brings many new disclosures together - Ralegh's love affair with Alice Goold and care for their illegitimate child, his secret marriage to Bess Throckmorton and his attempt to commit suicide in the Tower. |
| Synopsis: |
Colorful and exciting, Sir Walter Ralegh became a favorite of Queen Elizabeth. This world-famous explorer conceived and organized the colonizing expeditions to America; introduced potatoes and tobacco to England, and ended up in the Tower, following his secret wedding to Bess Throckmorton where he was executed. Along with his more well-known exploits, this insightful study--the first based on an accurate chronology of Ralegh's own writings--offers startling disclosures about his other love affairs, an illegitimate child, and a failed suicide attempt. |
