The final decades of the reign of Elizabeth I were marked by the
meteoric career of her last great favourite, Robert Devereux, 2nd
Earl of Essex (1565-1601), and the outbreak of bitter political
divisions at Court and across the realm. This revisionist 1999
study challenges the traditional 'romantic' image of Essex as a
military incompetent and political dabbler. Studying his career
between his arrival at court in 1585 and his appointment as earl
marshal at the end of 1597, the book casts Essex in a new light and
re-examines his role in the outbreak of factionalism in Elizabethan
politics. Using an unparalleled range of manuscript and printed
sources it explores the forces which drove Essex's career, why true
political success remained frustratingly beyond his grasp, and how
his efforts to achieve this success helped to fuel the polarisation
of Elizabethan politics.
