Sir Walter Raleigh: In Life & Legend (67 page)

61 Consider, for example, Simon Jones's characterization of Ralegh in the popular BlackadderTV series, and Stewart Lee's delightful Elizabeth and Raleigh - Late but Live in 2008.

62 V. Westbrook, 'What remains of Rawleigh/Raleigh/Ralegh', pp. 80-7.

63 The Vincent Price version of Ralegh makes nice girls run a mile. See P. Hammer, 'The private lives of Elizabeth and Essex and the romanticization of Elizabethan politics', in S. Doran and T. S. Freeman (eds), Tudors and Stuarts on Film: historical perspectives (Basingstoke, 2009), pp. 190-203, at 194.

64 Susan Doran calculates that Elizabeth must 'hold the record for the most cinematically exposed British monarch', 'From Hatfield to Hollywood: Elizabeth I on film', in Doran and Freeman (eds), Tudors and Stuarts on Film, pp. 88-105, at p. 88.

65 The dating agency was Lavalife, while Stephen Pound kept a courtier's eye on the wet pavement, only to see Hazel Blears neatly sidestep his coat!

66 The Scottish political commentator and author Andrew Marr chose Ralegh alongside, among others, Miss Marple as one of his four studies in Englishness for a BBC Radio 4 series in the autumn of 2007.

67 During the months after the death of her brother on the Italian Front in the last year of the GreatWar,Vera Brittain recalled how three lines from Ralegh's 'farewell verses kept beating through [her] brain' (Testament of (nth (London, 1979), p. 446).

68 S. J. Greenblatt (Sir Walter Ralegh: the renaissance man and his roles (London, 1973), pp. 15-16) sees in Ralegh's scaffold performance a 'demonic parody' of Thomas More's execution. Raymond Himehck thinks that Ralegh in 'The Passionate Man's Pilgrimage' might draw on Thomas More's Dialogue of Comfort in the 'everlasting head' language, and in the preoccupation with decapitation. This poem was attributed to Ralegh only posthumously, after 1625, although it had circulated anonymously twenty years before (Himehck, 'Walter Ralegh and Thomas More: the uses of decapitation', Moreana 11:2 (June 1974), 59-63; Rudick, Poems, pp. lxix-lxxii and poem 54).

69 See Lorimer, 'Ralegh's gold mine', p. 84.

70 Greenblatt, Sir Walter Ralegh, p. 167.

71 Naunton, Fragmenta Regalia, p. 30;Vivienne Westbrook points out that John Donne had used a similar analogy to describe Philip Howard, Earl of Arundel ('that tennis ball whome fortune after tossing and banding brickwald into the hazard'). See 'What remains of Rawleigh', p. 89.

72 Inscription on a nineteenth-century tablet commemorating the burial of Ralegh in St Margaret's Westminster.
