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.

评分用一个周末细细地读完《不嫁之王》。 文字优美,词藻华丽,叙事流畅,图片精美。 “某些书可以浅尝辄止,还有些书可以囫囵呑枣,唯少数书籍则须咀嚼且消化之。”——培根。 没有矛盾,人类就不成其为人类了。然而,那些伊丽莎白时代人物身上的矛盾,早已超出一般人应有的限度...
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...
评分很棒的一本书,英语很风趣,汉语很调侃,故事很有意思,有点宫廷悲喜剧的结合体的意思,爱学习的人可以学习英语和中文的文学语言,爱玩耍的人可以看看其中的精彩对话和片段,很有意思的,我喜欢。伊丽莎白真是个令人感叹的老女人。
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。
