The Corsini letters

Although philatelic essays have been published on aspects of the archive, The Corsini Letters is the first book to look at the archive as a whole, detailing why it is important, giving a breakdown of the contents of the letters, and yielding a fascinating insight into Elizabethan life.

Containing everything from letters about pirates and spices to one of the very early communication from the small West African island of San Thome, the archive is destined to become an important research tool for those interested in this period of history.
