8 Preface It is many years since I first entertained the hope of following up Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians with an Eminent Elizabethans. In the innocence of my younger years I thought it would provide a contrast, work out more heroically, certainly less cynically, than that work in which Strachey sat rather loosely to historical truth. He was more concerned to caricature, and raise a laugh. The true historian is concerned only to get at the truth. My studies of famous Elizabethans are in no sense caricatures, though they come out less heroically than the ardour of youth expected. My chief obligation is in regard to the not unheroic figure of Bess of Hardwick. Her successor there, the late Evelyn, Duchess of Devonshire, most hospitably entertained me at Hardwick during three or four summers, and helped me enormously by having Bess's papers and household books brought over from Chatsworth for me to study - so that that portrait is largely based on research into original manuscripts. My great regret is that I have been so long in producing the result that my kind hostess is no longer here to see the work in which she took so much interest. The study of Father Parsons was given, in shortened form, as one of the annual lectures for Lambeth Palace Library. Some years ago the then Director of the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.C., urged me to write an account of the Elizabethan Earl of Oxford: here it is at last. In the portrait of Sir John Harington I have been able to identify two of the lx
