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.

很棒的一本書,英語很風趣,漢語很調侃,故事很有意思,有點宮廷悲喜劇的結閤體的意思,愛學習的人可以學習英語和中文的文學語言,愛玩耍的人可以看看其中的精彩對話和片段,很有意思的,我喜歡。伊麗莎白真是個令人感嘆的老女人。
評分用一個周末細細地讀完《不嫁之王》。 文字優美,詞藻華麗,敘事流暢,圖片精美。 “某些書可以淺嘗輒止,還有些書可以囫圇呑棗,唯少數書籍則須咀嚼且消化之。”——培根。 沒有矛盾,人類就不成其為人類瞭。然而,那些伊麗莎白時代人物身上的矛盾,早已超齣一般人應有的限度...
評分在看這本書之前,伊麗莎白一世在我的印象中是怎麼樣的呢?她是亨利八世的女兒,她為瞭英國一生都不曾嫁人,在她的帶領下英國擊敗瞭西班牙的無敵艦隊,她是英國最被人稱道贊美的女王之一。那些不過是教科書給的曆史,除瞭該要記住的應付考試的內容,從來不曾深入瞭解過,而裏頓...
評分第30頁上用錯瞭一幅圖,解說是愛德華六世的舅舅,跟他同名的攝政西摩,實際上圖中那個胖圓臉毫無疑問是他老爸亨利。也許後麵還有錯放的圖,可惜我學疏纔淺,看不齣來而已。 開始的時候頗有些不知所雲,果然這種類型的書當真還是要看原版比較好麼?可是當真看到原版裏...
評分裏頓真是百年前的鬼纔作傢,把伊麗莎白這個老妞寫的這麼可愛可笑可悲可樂,這還是個女王嗎?在心中列數男明星,一個比一個年輕;與愛慕的男臣子吵架,原因是男臣子娶老婆瞭;總是顯擺總是扯淡,還跟小情郎玩你追我趕的愛情小把戲。
