English Summary/英文概要: The reign of Elizabeth I - a Golden Age? Try asking her subjects...
Elizabethans did all they could to survive in an age of sin and bling, of beddings and beheadings, galleons and guns. Explorers set sail for new worlds, risking everything to bring back slaves, gold and the priceless potato. Elizabeth lined her coffers while her subjects lived in squalor with hunger, violence and misery as bedfellows.
Shakespeare shone and yet the beggars and thieves, the doxies and bawdy baskets, kinchins and fraters scraped and cheated to survive in the shadows. These were dangerous days. If you survived the villains, and the diseases didn’t get you, then the lawmen might. Pick the wrong religion and the scaffold or stake awaited you. The toothless, red-wigged queen sparkled in her jewelled dresses, but the Golden Age was only the surface of the coin. The rest was base metal.
Once again, what we think we know about our history is revealed to be a mish-mash of misconceptions, glory-hogging and downright untruths as Terry Deary explodes the myths that permeate our understanding of the past - with a healthy dash of pitch-black humour.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 伊丽莎白统治时期 — — 是一个黄金时代吗?试着问问她的臣民......
伊丽莎白,一个充斥着罪恶的珠光宝气和斩首,西班牙大帆船和枪支下求存的时代。探险者们为探寻新世界而启帆远航,冒着一切危险带回奴隶、黄金和珍贵的马铃薯。伊丽莎白用这些来充盈自己的国库,而她的臣民却在贫困与饥饿、暴力和苦难中挣扎。
莎士比亚此时正眷宠既隆,而乞丐和小偷,情妇和妓院,孩子和失意的平民却要在阴影的统治下继续挣扎求生。这些危险的日子里。如果你有幸从恶棍底下生存下来,并且疾病也没有让你倒下的话,那么执法官就会。选择错误的信仰,那么等待着你的就会是断头台或火刑柱。人微言轻,在头戴红色假发的女王,闪耀着镶满宝石的衣衬下,黄金时代只不过是硬币的表面上看上去那么鲜华。其余的部分都是合金。
