This collection of new essays about the earl of Essex, one of the
most important figures of the Elizabethan court, resituates his
life and career within the richly diverse contours of his cultural
and political milieu. It identifies the ways in which his biography
has been variously interpreted both during his own lifetime and
since his death in 1601. Collectively, the essays examine a wealth
of diverse visual and textual manifestations of Essex: poems,
portraits, films; texts produced by Essex himself, including
private letters, prose tracts, poems and entertainments; and the
transmission and circulation of these as a means of disseminating
his political views. As well as prising open long-held assumptions
about the earl's life, the authors provide a diachronic approach to
the earl's career, identifying crucial events such as the Irish
campaign and the uprising, and re-evaluating their significance and
critical reception. Collectively, the essays illuminate the reach
and significance of the many roles played by the earl and the
impact of his brief, dazzling life on his contemporaries and on
those who came after, making this the first volume to offer a
comprehensive critical overview of the Earl's life and influence.
