具体描述

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.

作者简介

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.

读后感

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...  

很精彩的一本书，写了一个很精彩的女人，这个女人是多情的，因为她总是恋爱，这个女人是悲催的，因为她总是失恋，这个女人是伟大的，因为她统治着一个国家，收拾着全国的美男子，这个女人是渺小的，因为她没有真正拥有过任何一个男人，因为占据她心灵的是一个国家，而不是一个...  

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……  

里顿真是百年前的鬼才作家，把伊丽莎白这个老妞写的这么可爱可笑可悲可乐，这还是个女王吗？在心中列数男明星，一个比一个年轻；与爱慕的男臣子吵架，原因是男臣子娶老婆了；总是显摆总是扯淡，还跟小情郎玩你追我赶的爱情小把戏。
