Rezensionen
Sir Thomas Overbury. His Wife. As also New Newes,… von Sir Thomas OVERBURY
An excellent book that makes a very interesting read, amusing if at times rather obscure character studies give a flavor of the prejudices and opinions of the day. A very popular book that was reprinted many times, produced in facsimile that is now out of print but if you are interested in Elizabethan/Jacobean England I would recommend tracking one down.
