Description
Elizabeth's last years fill the twelfth and final volume of Froude's History, from 1865. The Earl of Essex rises, plots, rebels, and goes to the block. The old queen declines in body and spirit, and dies in 1603, ending the Tudor line.
Froude closes his vast epic with the passing of Gloriana herself. Grief, faction, and war with Spain cloud the reign's final seasons. He treats the queen with awe, yet shows the cost of her long rule. The volume ends both a reign and one of the great narrative histories in English, twelve books that made the Tudor century vivid for all later readers.
