The first scholarly critical edition of Francis Bacon's seminal biographical and political study of King Henry VII with editions of his biographical sketch of Henry VIII, a lively collection of witty anecdotes (classical to seventeenth century), his thoughtful debate over the prospect of holy war in his time, and six verse translations from the psalms. These editions are based on first hand examination of the extant manuscripts and illuminated with comprehensive critical annotations that examine his use of his sources and gloss difficult words. The Introductions discuss the occasion and context for each work, evaluate his creative transmutation of his sources, and weigh their contemporary reception.
