Blighted Ambition, Or, The Rise And Fall Of The Earl Of Somerset: A Romance In Three Volumes - Softcover
Synopsis
Blighted Ambition, Or, The Rise And Fall Of The Earl Of Somerset: A Romance In Three Volumes by Robert Carr traces a sweeping, historically flavored romance set in early 17th-century England. The narrative centers on the ascent of Robert Carr, a clever, ambitious courtier who rises from a royal page to the king’s favorite under James I, aided by James Hay and the brilliant lawyer Overbury, while navigating a perilous web of rivals including Cobham, Grey, Raleigh, and Sir Walter Raleigh. The text blends documentary glimpses of real events—proclamations, secret communications, and the Star Chamber—with melodramatic episodes in Paul’s Aisle and the royal masques at Theobalds. It chronicles conspiracies to seize the king, debates over religion and policy, and the brutal consequences that follow when accusations multiply. Interleaved is a romantic interlude involving Overbury and Gabriella, a Milanese girl whose forbidden love moves through Milan, England, and back, aided and thwarted by a monastic figure. The work culminates in the trials and passions of the age, illustrating how ambition, love, and power collide in a volatile court.
