内容简介：
The first dual biography of two of the world’s most remarkable
women—Elizabeth I of England and Mary Queen of Scots—by one of
Britain’s “best biographers” (The Sunday Times).
In a rich and riveting narrative, Jane Dunn reveals the
extraordinary rivalry between the regal cousins. It is the story of
two queens ruling on one island, each with a claim to the throne of
England, each embodying dramatically opposing qualities of
character, ideals of womanliness (and views of sexuality) and
divinely ordained kingship.
As regnant queens in an overwhelmingly masculine world, they were
deplored for their femaleness, compared unfavorably with each other
and courted by the same men. By placing their dynamic and
ever-changing relationship at the center of the book, Dunn
illuminates their differences. Elizabeth, inheriting a weak,
divided country coveted by all the Catholic monarchs of Europe, is
revolutionary in her insistence on ruling alone and inspired in her
use of celibacy as a political tool—yet also possessed of a deeply
feeling nature. Mary is not the romantic victim of history but a
courageous adventurer with a reckless heart and a magnetic
influence over men and women alike. Vengeful against her enemies
and the more ruthless of the two queens, she is untroubled by
plotting Elizabeth’s murder. Elizabeth, however, is driven to
anguish at finally having to sanction Mary’s death for treason.
Working almost exclusively from contemporary letters and writings,
Dunn explores their symbiotic, though never face-to-face,
relationship and the power struggle that raged between them.
A story of sex, power and politics, of a rivalry unparalleled in
the pages of English history, of two charismatic women—told in a
masterful double biography.

Jane Dunn??s Elizabeth and Mary: Cousins, Rivals, Queens
offers a blend of history and biography that traces the "dynamic
interaction" between two of the most powerful women in Western
history. Dunn remains ever aware of the uniqueness of her two
central figures: both women ruled as divinely ordained monarchs in
a male dominated power structure; and both women were from the same
family (Elizabeth I was the granddaughter of Henry VII, and Mary
Queen of Scots the great-granddaughter of King Henry).
By focusing not on pure biography but instead on relationships,
Dunn is able to narrow her book (still mammoth in scope) to the
most salient and interesting events in the two queens?? lives. The
book begins in 1558, the year in which Mary first wed and Elizabeth
assumed the throne of England. Almost immediately the cousins were
embroiled in a conflict that would endure for the remainder of
Mary??s life. A restless, sexually-active Catholic, and leader of
the Scottish people in alliance with France, Mary was ever a
conduit for rumors of rebellion. The "Virgin Queen" Elizabeth used
Mary as a dark reflection to underline her own celibate constancy
as a ruler of law and order.
The pair never met face to face, but as Dunn reveals, their
lives were closely intertwined. After holding Mary in Fotheringhay
prison for nearly two decades, Elizabeth ordered her cousin
executed in 1587. Mary had chosen martyrdom in favor of a
confession to complicity in the Babington assassination plot. In
court, she declared: "I would never make Shipwreck of my Soul by
conspiring the Destruction of my dearest Sister." Though the
ostensible victor, Elizabeth (who had struggled to find a way to
release her cousin while still upholding her own power as queen)
confessed, "I am not free, but a captive." In Elizabeth and
Mary, Dunn has built a rich world that underlines the tragic
struggle between private emotions and the public faces history puts
on them. --Patrick O??Kelley
媒体评论
“A perceptive, suspenseful account of complex English history. .
. . By the end of this satisfying book, one feels sympathy for both
women, brave queens in an age when ‘no one considered that a woman
could effectively rule alone.’ ” —
The New York Times Book
Review
“Elegant. . . . Dunn demythologizes Elizabeth and Mary. In
humanizing their dynamic and shifting relationship, Dunn describes
it as fueled by both rivalry and their natural solidarity as women
in an overwhlemingly masculine world.” --
Boston
Herald
“A balanced, nuanced, and eminently clear account. . . .
Brilliantly conceived, elegantly executed, and compellingly
readable.” --
Richmond Times-Dispatch
“A wholly engrossing and sumptuous retelling of a tale
that entered legend even before its protagonists were dead.”
--
Newsday
