The author finds Tudor failure more interesting and far more poignant that Tudor success. He is interested in the individuals of the time and what they reveal of it rather than in the nation, or country itself. Several of his subjects he regards as victims of the age. Thomas More is an obvious case. But Mary Turdo, Robert Ke6tt, Humphrey Gilbert and Robert Greene - none of them evil and all with talent and feeling - were all undone by the stern course of the century - overborne, or even destroyedm, by the successful turn of national events. As well as those mentioned above, the author portrays the lives of Thomas Gresham, Francis Walsinham, Richard Hooker, and Philip Sidney. Ilustrated with contemporary portraits and drawings, the book has the same value that V. S. Pritchett praised in the author's last work - The Art of Patronage: 'the thought visit he makes behind the scenss of a crucial period'. Illustrated. 240 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
