'The Winding Stair: Inside the bitter rivalry of Edward Coke and Francis Bacon (and its consequences)'

The common lawyers Edward Coke (The Inner Temple) and Francis Bacon (Gray’s Inn) were near-contemporaries, giants in their fields, and toxic rivals for power, position and the hand of a rich, young, widow. Jesse Norman tells the story and explains its impact.
