Sir Walter Raleigh was an English professor, actor, poet and writer. Born in London in 1861, Raleigh studied and lectured on English Literature for most of his life, teaching in India at Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College, and at several universities in the United Kingdom, including University College Liverpool, Glasgow University, and Oxford University. At the outset of the First World War, Raleigh changed his career s focus from Romantic era literature and began covering topics relating to the war. Sir Walter Raleigh s best-known work is The War in the Air, which provided coverage on the Royal Air Force s efforts in the war. Raleigh died at the age of 61 from typhoid.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a unique 1814 collection of poems discovered in the 16th-century diary of Sir Walter Raleigh, provides a glimpse into the mind of one of history's most extraordinary adventurers during his years of imprisonment. Opening with a description of the countryside recreations enjoyed by courtiers and gentlefolk, the book includes Raleigh's eloquent and elegant "Dialogue between God and the Soul", his poem "Of Love and Lovers' Follies", and a series of pastoral dialogues such as "Phillida's Love-call to her Coridon", in which a shepherd and shepherdess exchange witty, sometimes bawdy banter. The collection reveals the range of Raleigh's verse, from themes of love and loss to meditations on mortality and faith. These poems offer a fascinating insight into the inner world of a man who was a poet as well as a statesman, soldier, and explorer.
