The letters of the learned and indomitable Lady Anne Bacon (1528
1610), mother of the philosopher Francis Bacon, are made accessible
for the first time in this edition. Bringing together nearly two
hundred letters, scattered in repositories throughout the world,
her correspondence sheds fresh light not only on the activities of
early modern elite women, but also on well-known Elizabethan
figures, including her children, her privy councillor relatives,
such as William Cecil, Lord Burghley, and controversial figures,
including the Earl of Essex. Translations of Lady Anne's frequent
use of Latin, Greek and Hebrew reveal the impact of her humanist
education on her correspondence and a substantial introductory
chapter allows a detailed picture of Anne's life to emerge through
her surviving letters."
