Zustand: Sehr gut. 236 p. Der Einband ist leicht berieben und leicht fleckig, ansonsten ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen. / The binding is slightly rubbed and slightly stained, otherwise a very good and clean copy without markings. / Aus dem Klappentext/from the blurb text: "In May 1621 Francis Bacon's political career came to an abrupt end as a con- sequence of his being impeached from the office of Lord Chancellor of Eng- land. Later in the same year he com- posed his most imaginative political testament, the History of the Reign of King Henry VII. These two events were by no means coincidental. Of his several vocations, politics was the one that mattered most to Bacon, and he did not go willingly into retirement. The History, like so many of his writings, was intended to persuade James I of his redoubtable abilities as a counselor of kings. -- Jonathan Marwil fits the story of that year into the pattern of Bacon's life, beginning with a narrative account of the impeachment, an episode testi- fying to weaknesses both in Bacon's political position as well as in his personal character. Marwil examines Bacon's political career during the pre- ceding years for what they tell us about Bacon's mind. To understand Bacon in politics, Marwil believes, it must be re- alized how distinctive habits of intellect and sensibility permeate everything he wrote and that virtually everything he wrote was intended to serve his political ambition. Finally, Marwil analyzes the History to show that it must be read not only as a summary portrait of Bacon's civil career but as a justification of his ideas and himself. -- Setting the History into Bacon's life makes apparent how much of his achievement sprang from his skills as a rhetorician. Words were his greatest gift and one that he always exploited. Marwil's study demonstrates the extent to which Bacon was also a prisoner of his talent."
