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.
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...
評分书海茫茫,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。
評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...
評分目前看到过的他作品除了这个,还有《维多利亚女王》和<维多利亚名人传>,这两部作品中英国式的嘲讽比比皆是,而且他赞扬的和反对的全都加上嘲讽,很让人想说那句:做人要厚道. 相比之下,这本书"厚道"不少,虽然也有讽刺的段子,却更多是种同情味. 利顿的文笔极好,<维多利亚女王>我买...
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——...
