1575 1633 Bolton Edmund Historian
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the scholarly and poetic spirit of Edmund Bolton (1575-1633), an English historian and poet of the early modern period. Bolton's keen intellect and deep appreciation for the past are reflected in his piercing gaze and the quill pen clutched in his hand. The intricately patterned collar and fur-lined cape signify his status as a man of learning and wealth. Bolton was born in London and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. He became a fellow of the college in 1598 and went on to hold various academic positions throughout his career. Bolton is best known for his historical works, including "The Annals of Queen Elizabeth" and "The Annals of King James," which provided detailed accounts of the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I, respectively. His works were widely read and highly regarded in their time and continue to be valuable sources for historians today. In addition to his historical writing, Bolton was also an accomplished poet. He published several collections of verse, including "Carmen de Obsequio Funebri" and "Carmen de Morte," which explored themes of death and mourning. Bolton's poetry was praised for its beauty and depth, and it helped to establish his reputation as a man of letters. Bolton died in London in 1633, leaving behind a rich legacy of historical and poetic works that continue to inspire and inform our understanding of the early modern period. This portrait, with its intricate detail and evocative symbolism, serves as a fitting tribute to a man whose intellect and creativity left a lasting mark on English literature and history.
