Abstract
Having been three years in the printing, Ralegh’s History finally appeared in early December 1614. Only weeks after its publication, on 22 December, the work was suppressed by Archbishop Abbott, on royal command. Ralegh’s public voice and its politically challenging message had been silenced by the Stuart state, for the time being at least.
