内容简介：
Book De*ion
The 400th anniversary of the death of Elizabeth I occasions
Anchor's publication of Anne Somerset's magisterial biography,
singled out by Lady Antonia Fraser as her "favourite among the
biographies of the Queen."
Glitteringly detailed and engagingly written, Elizabeth I brings to
vivid life the golden age of sixteenth-century England and the
uniquely fascinating monarch who presided over it. A woman of
intellect and presence, Elizabeth firmly believed in the divine
providence of her sovereignty and exercised supreme authority over
the intrigue-laden Tudor court and Elizabethan England at large.
Brilliant, mercurial, seductive, and maddening, an inspiration to
artists and adventurers and the subject of vicious speculation over
her choice not to marry, Elizabeth is immortalized in this
splendidly illuminating account.
Unraveling the political complexities of Elizabethan England and
Europe, bringing alive the alluring, intrigue-laden Tudor court,
Anne Somerset examines the life and times of Elizabeth I, the
monarch and the woman. of illustrations.
From Publishers Weekly
In this totally captivating, sympathetic biography, English writer
Somerset quotes an abundance of primary sources to elucidate Queen
Elizabeth I's often criticized actions. For example, she
investigates the cunning ruler's "sound enough reasons" for
attempting to have her hated royal cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots,
murdered in an underhand fashion without the bother of an
execution. Somerset ( Ladies-in-Waiting) argues that the execution
of Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn, when she was two and a half
cast a dark shadow over the queen's entire life. A virgin monarch,
thrilled by the power of her father, Henry VIII, Elizabeth
(1533-1603) turned her sex to her advantage in a man's world. She
"flaunted her femininity" with chivalrous male colleagues and used
her marital availability as a chief asset in the conduct of foreign
affairs. The success of her 45-year reign, writes Somerset, was
very much a personal triumph aided by her magnetism and charm. A
wry, convincing portrait of a complex character. Illustrated. BOMC
alternate.
From Kirkus Reviews
Flattered, feared, idealized during her lifetime, romanticized ever
since, the intensely private Elizabeth I left few accurate
portraits for future painters or biographers. Somerset (Ladies in
Waiting, 1984) wisely focuses on the queen's complex political
life, documenting, largely from primary sources, the religious
conflicts, wars, explorations, conspiracies, and rough justice that
marked her reign of 45 years. The second daughter of Henry VIII
(her mother, the second of six wives, was executed for adultery),
Elizabeth came to the throne after the displacement of all her
stepmothers and the death of her brother Edward and her sister
``Bloody'' Mary. Although she was excommunicated, she believed she
was ``God's choice''--and with that confidence created a national
church, revised coinage, sponsored exploration (Drake's
circumnavigation of the globe), waged war against Spain, nearly
subjugated the ``ungovernable'' Ireland, and strengthened the power
of the throne. Pleasure-loving Elizabeth enjoyed dancing,
bear-baiting, hunting, clothes (which became more bizarre as she
aged), gardens, and ``progresses,'' leading the court on visits to
noble houses--partly because the hygiene of her courtiers was so
poor that an ``intolerable stench'' soon forced them to move on.
She loved gifts, adulation, and the attention of young men,
although she married none of them, using their admiration and
pursuit as a source of power. Somerset claims that remaining a
virgin was part of the queen's ``high calling.'' Meanwhile, her
indecisiveness, irascible temper, and legitimate fear of being
assassinated led to her imprisoning her cousin Mary for 19 years
before, reluctantly, having her executed--although at other times
she was capable of impulsive brutality, e.g., publicly cutting off
the hand of a printer for criticizing one of her choices of a mate.
Despite a few clich?s (the ``air'' was ``thick with intrigue'') and
an unnecessary defensiveness about Elizabeth's virginity: a clear,
moving, informed narrative.
From Library Journal
Elizabeth I, a fascinating, complex woman with immense political,
social, and religious power, has had many biographers, but
Somerset's thoroughly researched and exhaustively documented study
will capture the reader's imagination. Somerset brings historical
figures to life, providing the background and motivations for their
actions in light of the social structure of the day. The reader
gains a real understanding of the problems Elizabeth faced in
ruling her unstable kingdom. Somerset has also written The Life and
Times of Wil liam IV (Biblio Distribution Centre, 1980) and
Ladies-in-Waiting ( LJ 6/15/84). Recommended. BOMC alternate.

原文赏析：
take criticism seriously, but not personally. If there is any truth or merit in criticism, learn from it. Otherwise, let it roll right off you.
我也意识到，不能因为你和别人意见不一致，就认定对方是坏人，而且如果你相信某事，你最好准备为之辩护。
政治生活就是不断地去接受人性的教育，包括你自己的人性。
冷战对我来说很抽象，眼前的世界安全无忧。
每个月从中读到的文章所表达的观点和我平常吸收的信息有着鲜明的差别。
他们促使我拓宽对世界的理解，利用层出不穷的新闻事件检视自己的先入之见。
文和韦能够成为我的知心好友，其中一个因素，是他们接受我的本性，
