Thomas Stukeley was one of the most colourful characters of the
Elizabethan age, whose exploits brought him fame and notoriety
throughout Europe. Described variously as picturesque, quixotic,
cloudy minded, remarkable, and (by Evelyn Waugh) as a "preposterous
and richly comic figure", Stukeley remains a flamboyant and
fascinating character in the imagination of succeeding generations.
Yet whilst these portrayals may be accurate, they do not in
themselves do full justice to a multifaceted man whose remarkable
career included stints as mercenary, pirate, forger, colonial
adventurer, political advisor, diplomat and traitor, and who rubbed
shoulders with princes, kings and popes. In this new biography,
Professor Tazon makes extensive use of previously neglected
documents from British, Spanish and Italian archives to produce a
much more rounded and complete portrait of Stukeley and the events
in which he participated. He brings Stukeley forth as a real
figure, urging the reader to view in parallel English, Spanish,
Irish and wider European history.
