Sir Walter Raleigh: A New History

Sir Walter Raleigh: A New History A global and historical exploration of Sir Walter Raleigh's paradoxical life, influence, and enduring legacy.Dispersed throughout the centuries and across the globe - a sleepy Devonshire village, a 1950s Hollywood film set, a horse hurtling on a Victorian racecourse, the Beatles meditating in India, a border dispute in South America, and a storm raging in the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 1993... they all lead back to Sir Walter Raleigh.He is the man of paradoxes: the outsider who wanted access to the royal court, a monarchist who later became a republican hero, a lover and a fighter, a pirate and a poet, the last great Elizabethan superstar and the first victim of the Stuart dynasty. Let's chart his rise, his fall, and his legacy.
