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.
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.
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。

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...
评分有句俗话叫做:会看的看门道,不会看的看热闹。这本书里有热闹也有门道。热闹在哪里?女王和年轻美男子们的互动,虽然是徒然的,却是热闹非凡的;门道在哪里?那可是值得学习和借鉴的宫廷历史?里面值得学习的东西多着呢?上下级关系管理,老板心理学……
评分严重热爱这本传世名篇,那个时代的传世佳作,这个时代又重新演绎,赋予了更加时尚的语言风格,也保留了千万不变的风流传奇故事。这个女王很特殊,因为她是童贞女王,这个女王很奇怪,因为她谈了无数次恋爱,这个女王很另类,因为她谈恋爱不在乎天长地久只在乎曾经拥有,有个性...
