Britain's What's On Event Guide
Jesse Norman - The Winding Stair Book Talk
A joint event organised by and benefitting The Friends of St Mary's Ross on Wye and Rossiter Books.
Jesse Norman has been the MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire since 2010. He is an MP, a campaigner and a writer. He has written two biographies, and The Winding Stair is his first novel. Combining humour, wit and imagination with deep research, The Winding Stair is a dazzling synthesis of history and fiction; an epic tale of jealousy and intrigue, which also holds a darkened mirror to our own contemporary politics.
The Winding Stair:
Of all revenge, the greatest is this: that which cometh suddenly, without expectation.
AMBITION. REVENGE.
Queen Elizabeth I is dying, James I waiting to accede. But who will thrive, and who will fail, under the new king Will it be the scholar Francis Bacon, whose brilliant mind is the envy of the court Or his hated rival Edward Coke, already acclaimed as the greatest lawyer of his generation
The Winding Stair tells the gripping story of these two founders of our modern world, and their bitter struggle for influence and power. It brings the palaces, parlours, parliaments and royal courts of Elizabethan and Jacobean England to life, giving a peerless view into the lives, thoughts and deeds of its protagonists.
