The Player's Boy by Bryher

The orphaned James Sands anticipated a magnificent career as apprentice in an Elizabethan theater troupe. But when his masters dies unexpectedly, Sands must fight for his art, his home, and ultimately his life as the violent reign of King James I overshadows the glory and creative life of the Elizabethan era. An historical novel with profound reverberations today in the U.S., the UK, and Europe.

During her lifetime, Bryher (1894-1983) published a number of critically acclaimed novels and memoirs. Film, politics, and psychology were all important to her. She founded Contact Editions and edited Life and Letters To-day as well as Close Up, the first English film magazine. She was H.D.'s longterm companion and a financial supporter of a slew of writers, painters, psychoanalysts, and cultural figures, including Marianne Moore, Sigmund Freud, Walter Benjamin, and Shakespeare and Company's Sylvia Beach.
