Buchbeschreibung Hardcover with dust jacket. Zustand: Gut. XI, 368 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, sonst gut und sauber / dust jacket slightly rubbed, otherwise good and clean. - IN 1603 QUEEN ELIZABETH I, THE LAST of the Tudors, died. Her cousin, Robert Carey, immediately rode like a demon to Scotland to take the news to James VI. The cataclysmic time of the Stuarts had come and the son of Mary Queen of Scots left Edinburgh for London to claim his throne as James I of England. Diaries and notes written in 1603 describe how a resurgence of the plague killed nearly 40,000 people. Priests blamed the sins of the people for the pestilence, witches were strangled and burned, and plotters strung up on gate tops. But not all was gloom and violence. From a ship's log we learn of the first precious cargoes of pepper arriving from the East Indies after the establishment of a new spice route; Shakespeare was finishing Othello and Ben Jonson wrote furiously to please a nation thirsting for entertainment. 1603 was one of the most important and interesting years in British history. Christopher Lee tells its story from firsthand accounts and original documents to mirror the seminal year in which Britain moved from Tudor medievalism toward the wars, republicanism, and regicide that lay ahead. / CONTENTS Author's Note 1 Panorama 2 - How We Got to 1603 3 The Legacy 4 - King in Waiting 5 Bonfires 6 Coronation 7 Plague 8 Constitution 9 The Church 10 Hampton Court and the Bible 11 Witchcraft 12 The Coroner's Tale 13 Ralegh and Plots Galore 14 - Poets 15 Kinsale 16 - Piracy 17 Japan 18 The East India Company 19 Reflections Index.
