Inhalt:
Imprisoned in the Tower of London after the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, Sir Walter Ralegh spent the next 7 years producing his massive 'History of the World'. Created with the aid of a library of more than 500 books he was allowed to keep in his quarters, this incredible work of English vernacular would become a bestseller with nearly 20 editions, abridgments, and continuations issued in the years that followed. Nicholas Popper uses Ralegh's 'History' as a touchstone in this lively exploration of the culture of history writing and historical thinking in the late Renaissance.
