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.
在看这本书之前,伊丽莎白一世在我的印象中是怎么样的呢?她是亨利八世的女儿,她为了英国一生都不曾嫁人,在她的带领下英国击败了西班牙的无敌舰队,她是英国最被人称道赞美的女王之一。那些不过是教科书给的历史,除了该要记住的应付考试的内容,从来不曾深入了解过,而里顿...
评分贴一个我在2002年的评论吧) 上次推荐的《玛丽。斯图亚特》是茨威格(Stefan Zweig)的作品,侯焕闳老师从德文本译的。可与之参看的是几乎记录同一时代的传记《伊丽莎白女王和埃塞克斯伯爵》,Lytton Strachey写的,文笔和译笔都可以与之媲美。这本书也收在前几年的文化生活译...
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...
