Using the unpublished letter archive of the Elizabethan spy  Anthony Bacon (1558-1601), it shows how Bacon negotiated a path through life  that relied on the support of his friends, rather than the advantages and  status that came with marriage. Through a set of case-studies focusing on the  Inns of Court, the prison, the aristocratic great house and the spiritual  connection between young and ardent Protestants, this book argues that the  ‘friendship spaces’ of early modern England permitted the expression of male  same-sex intimacy to a greater extent than has previously been  acknowledged.   \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-04-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137494962\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-49497-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 211\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752373874828,"sku":"9781137494962","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137494962.jpg?v=1775849869","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781137494962","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
