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.

评分目前看到过的他作品除了这个,还有《维多利亚女王》和<维多利亚名人传>,这两部作品中英国式的嘲讽比比皆是,而且他赞扬的和反对的全都加上嘲讽,很让人想说那句:做人要厚道. 相比之下,这本书"厚道"不少,虽然也有讽刺的段子,却更多是种同情味. 利顿的文笔极好,<维多利亚女王>我买...
评分“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...
与其说他冷漠,不如说他耐心。巨大的同情完全融进剥离的功夫,爱才显得冷。Lytton Strachey。写 F Bacon 的几处,相当见力道。
