Description

"Leycesters common-wealth" is a Catholic recusant political tract against Elizabeth I's government, in particular the pro-Puritan policies of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, who is portrayed as an amoral opportunist. It went through many stages and forms, both in manuscript and in print, and is most well known by the title "Leicester's commonwealth". It was first printed on the continent in 1584 with title "The copie of a leter, wryten by a master of arte of Cambridge, to his friend in London" (STC 5742.9). Formerly attributed to Robert Parsons (who denied authorship), it is also sometimes ascribed to Thomas Morgan; cf. ESTC. D.C. Peck's edition, 1985, attributes it to Sir Charles Arundell, assisted by a group of Roman Catholic laymen
"Leicester's ghost", a poetical paraphrase of "Leicester's commonwealth" by Thomas Rogers, has separate pagination and register. In this version, there is no title page (the title is from caption, page 1) and the catchword at the foot of page 1 recto reads "Ah." However, the first line of the following page 2 begins "The Iupiter was in my horoscope ..."
