ELIZABETH'S WOMEN(ISBN=9780553806984) pmlz 电子版 pdf docx 网盘 kindle azw3 下载

A source of endless fascination and speculation, the subject

of countless biographies, novels, and films, Elizabeth I is now

considered from a thrilling new angle by the brilliant young

historian Tracy Borman. So often viewed in her relationships with

men, the Virgin Queen is portrayed here as the product of women—the

mother she lost so tragically, the female subjects who worshipped

her, and the peers and intimates who loved, raised, challenged, and

sometimes opposed her.

In vivid detail, Borman presents Elizabeth’s bewitching mother,

Anne Boleyn, eager to nurture her new child, only to see her taken

away and her own life destroyed by damning allegations—which taught

Elizabeth never to mix politics and love. Kat Astley, the governess

who attended and taught Elizabeth for almost thirty years, invited

disaster by encouraging her charge into a dangerous liaison after

Henry VIII’s death. Mary Tudor—“Bloody Mary”—envied her younger

sister’s popularity and threatened to destroy her altogether. And

animosity drove Elizabeth and her cousin Mary Queen of Scots into

an intense thirty-year rivalry that could end only in death.

Elizabeth’s Women contains more than an indelible cast of

characters. It is an unprecedented account of how the public

posture of femininity figured into the English court, the meaning

of costume and display, the power of fecundity and flirtation, and

how Elizabeth herself—long viewed as the embodiment of

feminism—shared popular views of female inferiority and scorned and

schemed against her underlings’ marriages and pregnancies.

Brilliantly researched and elegantly written, Elizabeth’s

Women is a unique take on history’s most captivating queen and

the dazzling court that surrounded her.
