Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lover of Queen Elizabeth: Being the Life and Character of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester 1533-1588 In the great firmament of human personality, no star shines with a fiercer light than Elizabeth, Queen of England. And of the numerous satellites that revolve about her, radiating an effulgence that is their own and hers, the one whose beams most dazzle star-gazers, is Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. These two were born into an age when the influence of the planets on human destiny and on human character was held to be direct and all-determining. It was the hour when astronomy was hardly ousting astrology from the category of the sciences. The period of Elizabeth and of Leicester was the renascent period of history. In their time, the spirit of the ancients re-incarnated. Learning, art, and literature came to birth in the modem world. Invention and discovery re-emerged from Time´s womb. Science and Religion were reconstructed and reformed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
