Listed below is my current stock in this subject, sorted in alphabetical order, by author. Please note that it is difficult to categorize some titles, which overlap different subjects; in these cases, the easiest procedure would be use the search box, which covers my entire stock. However, if searching for a particular title on this page only, the simplest method is to use "Control-F" to bring up the "Find" dialogue on screen. I have described the books as accurately as possible but will of course accept returns if a particular item is inadvertently not as described.

Originally published at £25. Certain lives epitomize an age, its glamour, its successes, and its broken dreams. Such were the lives of Lord Edward Cecil, his wife Violet, and Alfred Milner with whom she fell in love. The adventurous Guards officer Edward Cecil married Violet Maxse in 1894, as Britain reached its imperial zenith. During the Boer War, as Chief Staff Officer to Baden-Powell, he was besieged at Mafeking, while in Cape Town Violet, young, attractive and enterprising, fell in love with Alfred Milner, the High Commissioner responsible for British policy. Her love for him dominated the rest of her life. This book is also a picture of the British aristocratic world during its last period of real influence. As Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister, Lord Edward’s father, the Marquess of Salisbury, was Britain’s leading statesman. His Jacobean palace, Hatfield, was a political powerhouse. Violet’s father, Frederick Maxse was an unorthodox war hero and landed gentleman. His artistic and political friends, such as the statesman Georges Clemenceau, influenced her profoundly. Alfred Milner, a brilliant scholarship boy, rose to control the destinies of the nation alongside Lloyd George during World War I - a war bringing terrible personal tragedy to Violet and Edward. Edward spent his later life administering the finances of Egypt. After his death in 1918, Alfred and Violet were married for four brief, happy years.

100242 Erickson, Carolly The First Elizabeth London: Macmillan, 1983 6¼” x 9½”. 447pp. Brown cloth in d/j, Fine. An acclaimed biography of Queen Elizabeth I. In this remarkable biography, Carolly Erickson brings Elizabeth I to life and allows us to see her as a living, breathing, elegant, flirtatious, diplomatic, violent, arrogant, and outrageous woman who commands our attention, fascination, and awe. With the special skill for which she is acclaimed, Carolly Erickson electrifies the senses as she evokes with total fidelity the brilliant colors of Elizabethan clothing and jewelry, the texture of tapestries, and even the close, perfumed air of castle rooms. Erickson demonstrates her extraordinary ability to discern and bring to life psychological and physical reality.” David Herlihy, Charles Lea Professor of History, Harvard University when reviewing the book stated that “Carolly Erickson is a great interpreter of history. She writes political history, but imbeds it into social, and even more, humane history. She’s likely to be the Barbara Tuchman of her generation.”

104563 Goodman, Anthony and Gillespie, James L. [Eds] Richard II : The Art of Kingship Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1999 5½” x 8¾”. [xii] + 299pp. Blue cloth gilt in d/j, As New. Richard II (1377-1399) was deposed and probably murdered at the end of a dramatic Kingship characterized by the struggle between Royal Authority and the power of the great magnates of the land. Richard faced down the leaders of the Peasant Revolt of 1381 when aged only 14 but found the magnates much harder to vanquish. 1399 saw the nadir of his Royal power in the Merciless Parliament. This attempt to oust power from the king seems to have spurred Richard into recovering the royal prerogative but the King went so far beyond ‘good governance’ that his final two years in power became known as the ‘tyranny’. The record of his reign was muddied by hostile chroniclers such as Walsingham and the anonymous monk of Evesham, and these distortions went on to be propagated by Shakespeare, leading Henry Hallam to write, in 1818, that ‘the reign of Richard II is, in a constitutional light, the most interesting part of our earlier history; and it has been the most imperfectly written.’
