One of the most famous and baffling romances in history-between Elizabeth I, Queen of England and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex-began in May of 1587, when she was fifty-three and he was just shy of twenty. Their relationship continued until 1601, when the Earl of Essex was beheaded for treason. And, in a succession of brilliant scenes, Strachey portrays the Queen's and the Earl's compelling attraction for on another, their impassioned disagreements, and their mutual contest for power, which led to a final, tragic confrontation. Here we also have superb portraits of influential people of the time: Francis Bacon, Robert Cecil, Walter Raleigh, and other figures of the court who struggled to assert themselves in a kingdom that was primarily defined by her sovereign, and so now seen through history's lens as Elizabethan England.
Lytton Strachey (1880-1932), among the most famous writers of his time, was a member of the Bloomsbury group and the author of a number of biographies. His Eminent Victorians, published in 1918, inaugurated a new style of biography distinguished by irony, wit, irreverence, and elegance of language. He is also the author of Elizabeth and Essex, Biographical Essays, and Literary Essays.
“当一个国王,戴一顶王冠,众人看了,只觉得光荣无比,却没有看到戴王冠者本人是否愉快。国王的忧虑和困难,我可以恰当地比作高明医师所给的,调上一点香味的药品,或者比作糖衣炮弹,使它容易吞服,实际上都是很苦,很不好吃的。就我自己来说,要不是良心责令我奉行上帝交付...
评分第30页上用错了一幅图,解说是爱德华六世的舅舅,跟他同名的摄政西摩,实际上图中那个胖圆脸毫无疑问是他老爸亨利。也许后面还有错放的图,可惜我学疏才浅,看不出来而已。 开始的时候颇有些不知所云,果然这种类型的书当真还是要看原版比较好么?可是当真看到原版里...
评分在看这本书之前,伊丽莎白一世在我的印象中是怎么样的呢?她是亨利八世的女儿,她为了英国一生都不曾嫁人,在她的带领下英国击败了西班牙的无敌舰队,她是英国最被人称道赞美的女王之一。那些不过是教科书给的历史,除了该要记住的应付考试的内容,从来不曾深入了解过,而里顿...
评分比较斯特拉奇出版更早(1921年出版)的作品《维多利亚女王》,这部《伊莉莎白一世》显然要弱很多,全书并没有像前者一样详细描述了女王的一生,而是把笔墨的重点放在了女王在中老年期间和埃塞克斯公爵的情爱上,所以窃以为把书名定为《伊丽莎白女王和埃塞克斯公爵》还似乎更确...
评分书海茫茫,垃圾成堆,如今找到这样过一本传世佳作、传记名篇,真的不容易了。这本书好就好在它不拍马屁,把女王写的这么损,这么俗,这么女兮兮的,而且语言很讽刺,我不懂英语,反正汉语的许多语句很逗,也不知道与之对应的英语句子是不是一样乐。
