(Charles) Sir Walter Raleigh and His Time Transcribed from “Plays and Puritans and Other Historical Essays” 1890 Macmillan and Co. edition by David Price "Sir Walter Raleigh and His Time" by Charles Kingsley is a historical account likely written during the late 19th century. The work centers on the life and legacy of Sir Walter Raleigh, a prominent figure in the Elizabethan era, exploring his complexities as both a man and an adventurer against the backdrop of his tumultuous times. The opening of the text presents a reflection on the nature of truth in history and heralds the story of Raleigh as a testament to the human condition, grappling with sin, nobility, and the heavy burdens of his ambitions. The narrative begins with Raleigh's birth in South Devon in 1552, delving into his upbringing and early influences, including his noble lineage and the tumult of the era marked by treachery against the Protestant faith. It hints at his formative thoughts regarding England's enemies—Spain and the Pope—while establishing his aspirations as a chivalrous figure devoted to exploration and colonization. Kingsley draws the reader into the vibrant world of Raleigh's youth, setting the stage for his future endeavors that straddle the line between valorous exploration and moral complexity.
