图书标签: 历史 传记 伊丽莎白一世 Queen I Elizabeth
Extravagant, whimsical, and hot-tempered, Elizabeth was the epitome of power, both feared and admired by her enemies. Dubbed the "pirate queen" by the Vatican and Spain's Philip II, she employed a network of daring merchants, brazen adventurers, astronomer philosophers, and her stalwart Privy Council to anchor her throne—and in doing so, planted the seedlings of an empire that would ultimately cover two-fifths of the world. In The Pirate Queen , historian Susan Ronald offers a fresh look at Elizabeth I, relying on a wealth of historical sources and thousands of the queen's personal letters to tell the thrilling story of a visionary monarch and the swashbuckling mariners who terrorized the seas to amass great wealth for themselves and the Crown.

评分如果不是如此跳来跳去希望写伊丽莎白时代的全景,而是只注重海盗们的传奇生涯,那么此书会好看得多。作者作为历史学家是有功力的,但作为叙事者来说还是太欠火候了。
