Sir Walter Raleigh – English sailor, explorer, poet and prisoner. His military successes suppressing Ireland made him rise rapidly in the favour of Queen Elizabeth I. This friendship and the privileges that came along with being at court made Sir Walter Raleigh one of the most notable figures of the 16th century. But what occurred to the commander of the Royal Guard and the Queen’s most loyal consultant that he ended up being imprisoned at the Tower of London and eventually was condemned to death? This biography enables the reader to build an own opinion about the mysterious life of Raleigh and gives an impression of how he has been perceived at his time.

If it weren't for a certain English Queen, what we know as the Elizabethan Age might well be called the Waltonian Age.One of the most colorful personalities at the court of Queen Elizabeth I, Sir Walter Raleigh was an explorer, poet, ship designer, essayist, soldier, sailor, political philosopher, founder of colonies, amateur scientist, and privateer (a euphemism for pirate).In his wide-ranging interests and adventurous life, Raleigh personifies the spirit of the Elizabethan Age – thrusting, intensely curious, ceaselessly creative, and perhaps a bit amoral. Truly, in the figure of Walter Raleigh the Elizabethan Age is writ small – if such a word could be applied to such a large-hearted, ambitious, and fecund figure.Sir Walter Raleigh has been the subject of numerous biographies, but Raleigh Barlowe's fictional autobiography is the first account of Raleigh's life told from his point of view. Although devoted to his own interests and career, Raleigh is not so self-absorbed that he ignores the world around him – the intrigue ridden Elizabethan court, as dangerous in its way as the Atlantic storms that buffet Raleigh's ships as he seeks a place for a New England in the Old World.Writing as a prisoner in the Tower of London, Raleigh chronicles his youthful adventures as a pirate, details his attempts to run an English comb through the unruly locks of the Irish, and tells of his last, heartbreaking journey to the Americas and his return to an uncertain future, a future clouded by the shadow of the scaffold.Raleigh Barlowe's assumption of the persona of Sir Walter Raleigh brings the adventure's world vividly to life. The author's skill is such that the reader may, indeed, wonder if the Elizabethan Age isn't misnamed.

Sir Walter Raleigh was truly the Renaissance man of Elizabethan England: soldier and diplomat serving in the wars between Spain and England, courtier and Captain of the Queen's Guard in Elizabeth’s flamboyant court, explorer of a New World and colonizer of Virginia, member of Parliament and devotee of science, musician and literary patron, historian and poet. A dashing and complex figure, often in advance of his times and rebellious against them, Raleigh had the misfortune not simply to combine brilliance and versatility with arrogance and intolerance, but to live beyond the expansiveness of Elizabeth’s reign into the sober times of her successor, James Stewart. Knighted by the Queen, Raleigh enjoyed her favor until he was eclipsed by Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex. Thereafter his fortunes fell, and he was finally imprisoned and tried by James I on grounds of treason. This book, conveying the excitement and flavor of Raleigh and his times, offers a new judgment of the man, and particularly of the famous trial that led to his imprisonment in the Tower and to his subsequent execution for treason. Mr. Wallace points out that, though the charges against Raleigh were questionable, the trial was legally just. On the other hand, the law itself, the court procedure, and the behavior of the prosecutor, Sir Edward Coke, were essentially unjust. After Raleigh’s death, jurists rallied to his defense, and changes in law and procedure were finally instituted. The trial thus has a historic importance not only in Raleigh’s life but also in English legal history. Originally published in 1959.

Sir Walter Raleigh (1552 or 1554-1618), was a famed English writer, poet, courtier and explorer. He was responsible for establishing the first English colony in the New World, on June 4, 1584, at Roanoke Island in present-day North Carolina. When the settlement failed, the ultimate fate of the colonists was never authoritatively ascertained, and it became known as "The Lost Colony." In December 1581 Raleigh came back to England from Ireland with despatches as his company had been disbanded. He took part in Court life and became a favourite of Queen Elizabeth. Raleigh is generally considered one of the foremost poets of the Elizabethan era. His poetry is generally written in the relatively straightforward, unornamented mode known as the plain style.
