Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Girlhood of Queen Elizabeth: A Narrative in Contemporary Letters How many volumes, and collections of letters, published and unpublished, are directly represented in the present work may be seen from the list of sources beginning on p. ix., a list which would be greatly increased if the titles were given of all the books consulted while the work was in preparation. By modernising the orthography the editor has probably invited a good deal of criticism from the antiquarians´ standpoint, but, both in this volume and the series to which it belongs, his aim has been to make a wider appeal in the hope of attracting the general reader, as well as the student. At the same time he has endeavoured to preserve as much as possible of the archaic character of the original letters now published, and to catch the sixteenth century atmosphere which still clings to many of them. With regard to the present volume it is important to remember that the course of English history during the youth of Elizabeth is only traced in so far as it affects Elizabeth herself. Letters covering the larger background will be found in the volumes - now in preparation - relating to the reigns of Henry VIII., Edward VI., and Mary I. The portraits in the present work have been selected from various public and private collections in England and on the Continent. That of the Princess Elizabeth is from a painting at Windsor Castle, and is reproduced by the gracious permission of His Majesty.
