Wedgwood, C. V. (Cicely Veronica)
Thomas Wentworth: First Earl of Strafford, 1593-1641: A Revaluation
London Phoenix Press 2000 1842120816 / 9781842120811 Trade Paperback Fine
415 pp., [8] pp. of plates, illus.; 22 cm. First published, 1961. Tight, clean copy. "A dramatic story of the ruthless servant of King Charles. The Earl of Stafford rose to become the most powerful and the most hated man in the British Isles--only to find himself deserted by his master and forced to go to the scaffold to appease the wrath of the people. In this revaluation of the original version, Stafford emerges as a complex character: ambitious, greedy, unscrupulous, but with intense Puritan piety and unflagging devotion to duty. / C.V. Wedgwood, one of the only two women to be made a member of the Order of Merit, began writing history when she was a child. Her first book was published in 1935 and she went on to specialise in the English, Scottish and European sixteenth centuries." - Publisher.
