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.

“當一個國王,戴一頂王冠,眾人看瞭,隻覺得光榮無比,卻沒有看到戴王冠者本人是否愉快。國王的憂慮和睏難,我可以恰當地比作高明醫師所給的,調上一點香味的藥品,或者比作糖衣炮彈,使它容易吞服,實際上都是很苦,很不好吃的。就我自己來說,要不是良心責令我奉行上帝交付...
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。
評分伊麗莎白一世和埃塞剋斯伯爵之間,正應證瞭中國的那句詞——人生若隻如初見。 電影《伊麗莎白一世》裏女王與伯爵初見時的鏡頭讓我印象深刻——彼時她是風韻猶存的中年女人,而他還是金發碧眼的未成年小正太。她目光慈愛,他羞澀防備,周圍的空氣安詳和藹。 作者斯特萊切說——...
評分有句俗話叫做:會看的看門道,不會看的看熱鬧。這本書裏有熱鬧也有門道。熱鬧在哪裏?女王和年輕美男子們的互動,雖然是徒然的,卻是熱鬧非凡的;門道在哪裏?那可是值得學習和藉鑒的宮廷曆史?裏麵值得學習的東西多著呢?上下級關係管理,老闆心理學……
