Sinopsis

This book tells of the tumultuous and riveting historical events that characterized the beginning of the Stuart dynasty in England. Set at a pivotal time for the nation, this book transports the reader back to an era of sweeping political changes and massive societal shifts. The author presents a fascinating exploration of how James I's accession to the English throne was greeted with acclaim but also critique in various sectors of society, introducing the concept of public opinion as a force that could no longer be ignored in governance.

Excerpt from Blighted Ambition, or the Rise and Fall of the Earl of Somerset, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance

Latitude to Fancy, not with any view of distorting the truths we would com manicate, but to connect the details of our narrative, much in the same way as the carpenters, who erected the Pavilion on Woolwich Common, gilded the ropes which support its can vas roof, rather for decoration, than for strength. We have not, however, allowed ourselves to be drawn by the dominion of Fancy, beyond the line.

Excerpt from Blighted Ambition, or the Rise and Fall of the Earl of Somerset, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance

It has become fashionable in these enlightened times, to treat historical subjects agreeably to the opinion of nine-tenths of the world, and exhibit its characters and their actions in the fascinating dress of Romance, rather than in the sober language of unvarnished narrative.
