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.
比较斯特拉奇出版更早(1921年出版)的作品《维多利亚女王》,这部《伊莉莎白一世》显然要弱很多,全书并没有像前者一样详细描述了女王的一生,而是把笔墨的重点放在了女王在中老年期间和埃塞克斯公爵的情爱上,所以窃以为把书名定为《伊丽莎白女王和埃塞克斯公爵》还似乎更确...
評分伊丽莎白一世和埃塞克斯伯爵之间,正应证了中国的那句词——人生若只如初见。 电影《伊丽莎白一世》里女王与伯爵初见时的镜头让我印象深刻——彼时她是风韵犹存的中年女人,而他还是金发碧眼的未成年小正太。她目光慈爱,他羞涩防备,周围的空气安详和蔼。 作者斯特莱切说——...
評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...
評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...
