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 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...
