Описание:
"This enchanting volume is not a history of the Victorian age but the portraiture of a woman... Strachey's work is pure art...a narrative as fresh and distinctive as some delicious perfume." -David Muzzey, Political Science Quarterly, (1922)
Queen Victoria (1921) is the classic biography of Britain's greatest monarch by Lytton Strachey. Victoria (1819-1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death. In addition, she was Empress of India beginning in 1876.
With her reign of 63 years, she gave her name to an era, the Victorian age. This was a period of expansion of the British Empire, and industrial, scientific, political, cultural, and military change.
Queen Victoria was awarded the "James Tait Black Memorial Prize," one of Britain's oldest literary awards.

Описание: Torrid, tortured, and notorious -as romances go- indisputably was the affair between Elizabeth I, Queen of England, and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex. It started in 1587, when she was fifty-three and he was merely nineteen. The affair lasted five years. Essex was beheaded for treason in 1601. The book brilliantly exposes the details that led to Essex's demise.A master of the English language, Lytton Strachey renders in unbridled fast-paced -for a history-based narration- powerful and exquisite scenes of individual love, individual power-and power politics. As the story progresses, a retinue of courtiers pass in review: Francis Bacon, Walter Raleigh, Robert Cecil, and many other important players. Given the age difference and the lovers' explosive characters, the affair was doomed from its very beginning. But what is important about this "tragic history," is that it provides panoramic vistas about the glamor and mystique of the Elizabethan age.
