Lytton Strachey

Elizabeth and Essex Lytton Strachey

Elizabeth I of England had one great passion in her life and that was for the Earl of Essex giving him power, wealth and favour in such a way that he made many enemies. This fascinating biography of this great romance is written in such a way as to appear as a historical novel. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
