1601

Illustrated with beautiful chapter headings that match the book cover!

1601, written by Mark Twain, is a supposititious conversation which takes place in Queen Elizabeth''s closet between the Queen, Ben Jonson, Beaumont, Sir Walter Raleigh, the Duchess of Bilgewater, and one or two others... If there is a decent word findable in it, it is because I overlooked it. 1601 depicts a highfalutin and earthy discussion between the Queen and her court about farting and a variety of sexual peccadillos, narrated disapprovingly and sanctimoniously by the Queen''s Cup-Bearer, an eyewitness at the Social Fireside.
