Excerpt from The Murder of Amy Robsart: A Brief for the Prosecution
The wave of whitewash which has, of late years, swept over English history, and left so many important persons clean and respectable, early reached Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. If, in trying to scrape it off, an independent observer comes to the conclusion that the earlier and thicker coat which, from her own times, has made the Virgin Queen so shining a figure in English history, covers a very paltry woman, made up of meanness, caprice, and lechery, it may be as well for him to print his reasons for so thinking and to refer to his authorities.
This is what I now propose to do, and if the following pages, besides containing a considerable amount of hitherto unprinted matter, reprints much that others have said before, I trust the repetition may be excused, if, as I trust, it results in the collection for the first time of all the direct and indirect evidence on the question.
The cumulative proof is, I think, strong on many points, and it is some relief to find that there is no great reason to think that Elizabeth was anything more than an accessory after the fact of Amy's murder - the tragedy round which these pages centre.
