Windsor Castle is a historical novel written by William Harrison Ainsworth, first published in 1843. The story is set in the 16th century and revolves around the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The novel is a fictional account of the rivalry between two powerful men, the Earl of Leicester and the Earl of Sussex, for the Queen's affections. The plot also involves a number of subplots, including a love story between a young page and a lady-in-waiting, and a conspiracy to overthrow the Queen. The novel is set against the backdrop of Windsor Castle, one of the most iconic and historic buildings in England. Ainsworth's vivid descriptions of the castle and its surroundings bring the story to life, and his attention to historical detail adds depth and authenticity to the narrative. Overall, Windsor Castle is a gripping historical novel that offers a fascinating insight into the political and social intrigues of Elizabethan England.Amid the gloom hovering over the early history of Windsor Castle appear the mighty phantoms of the renowned King Arthur and his knights, for whom it is said Merlin reared a magic fortress upon its heights, in a great hall whereof, decorated with trophies of war and of the chase, was placed the famous Round Table. But if the antique tale is now worn out, and no longer part of our faith, it is pleasant at least to record it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
