Sir Walter Ralegh: A Biography, by William Stebbing, was first published in 1891 and reissued by the Clarendon Press in 1899 with a list of authorities. Drawing on the large body of letters, state papers and contemporary comment, Stebbing follows Ralegh's whole career: his youth and service in France and Ireland, his rise as a favorite of Elizabeth, the Virginia colonies and the voyage to Guiana, the expedition to Cádiz, his trial for treason under James I, the long imprisonment in the Tower during which he wrote his History of the World, and the last voyage that led to his execution in 1618. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
