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.

否認階級的存在就像否認生命需要空氣那麼虛妄,即使我們所有的主觀感受包括幸福,成就感,甚而愛情都是些勢利的小鬼,無不帶著階級的視角和時代的烙印,兩者都無法選擇和超越。看伊麗莎白和埃塞剋斯的兩個人的愛情拉鋸,讓我莫名其妙地想起史密斯夫婦,他們奇特的身份讓他們的...
評分很精彩的一本書,寫瞭一個很精彩的女人,這個女人是多情的,因為她總是戀愛,這個女人是悲催的,因為她總是失戀,這個女人是偉大的,因為她統治著一個國傢,收拾著全國的美男子,這個女人是渺小的,因為她沒有真正擁有過任何一個男人,因為占據她心靈的是一個國傢,而不是一個...
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...
評分貼一個我在2002年的評論吧) 上次推薦的《瑪麗。斯圖亞特》是茨威格(Stefan Zweig)的作品,侯煥閎老師從德文本譯的。可與之參看的是幾乎記錄同一時代的傳記《伊麗莎白女王和埃塞剋斯伯爵》,Lytton Strachey寫的,文筆和譯筆都可以與之媲美。這本書也收在前幾年的文化生活譯...
評分嚴重熱愛這本傳世名篇,那個時代的傳世佳作,這個時代又重新演繹,賦予瞭更加時尚的語言風格,也保留瞭韆萬不變的風流傳奇故事。這個女王很特殊,因為她是童貞女王,這個女王很奇怪,因為她談瞭無數次戀愛,這個女王很另類,因為她談戀愛不在乎天長地久隻在乎曾經擁有,有個性...
