This collection of essays by scholars from Great Britain, the
United States, Canada and Taiwan covers a wide range of topics
about Ralegh's diversified career and achievements. Some of the
essays shed light on less familiar facets such as Ralegh as a
father and as he is represented in paintings, statues, and in
movies; others re-examine him as poet, historian, as a
controversial figure in Ireland during Elizabeth's reign, and look
at his complex relationship with and patronage of Edmund Spenser. A
recurrent topic is the Hatfield Manuscript in Ralegh's handwriting,
which contains his long, unfinished poem 'The Ocean to Cynthia',
usually considered a lament about his rejection by Queen Elizabeth
after she learned of his secret marriage to one of her
ladies-in-waiting. The book is appropriate for students of
Elizabethan-Jacobean history and literature. Among the contributors
are well-known scholars of Ralegh and his era, including James
Nohrenberg, Anna Beer, Thomas Herron, Alden Vaughan and Andrew
Hiscock. -- .
