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 评分英国传记大师里顿的最经典的力作,英国最伟大女王伊丽莎白的一生传奇,内容值得观看,文笔值得品味,翻译值得学习,那是对偶像的破坏,那是对文学的调侃,也是对世界文化的一份独特贡献。你看那伊丽莎白小老太,对于她的了解,我们不能仅仅看到她统治国家的“神”的一面,还要...
评分否认阶级的存在就像否认生命需要空气那么虚妄,即使我们所有的主观感受包括幸福,成就感,甚而爱情都是些势利的小鬼,无不带着阶级的视角和时代的烙印,两者都无法选择和超越。看伊丽莎白和埃塞克斯的两个人的爱情拉锯,让我莫名其妙地想起史密斯夫妇,他们奇特的身份让他们的...
评分好故事,读了第一遍,觉得很逗,读了第二遍,觉得很好玩,读了第三遍,觉得还想再看一遍;读了第四遍,突然感觉里面有门道;读了第五遍,原来它是以故事的形式展现了英格兰黄金时代的历史花絮;读了第六遍,发觉它是一部很喜剧的宫廷正史;读了第七遍,原来它是一本学习用书—...
