Description:
William Harrison Ensworth is an English writer belonging to the so-called "Newgate school", which also includes Bulwer-Lytton, Disraeli and others. In most of Answorth's novels, the plots are taken from English history, in some from the history of France, and he conveys bare historical facts in very lively dialogues, furnishing them with comic intrigue, as well as sometimes episodes with spirits and ghosts. The most famous works of Answorth: "Rockwood", "The Struggle for the Throne", "The Tower of London", and especially "Jack Sheppard" - a novel from the life of London thieves, which gave Eugene Sue the idea of his "Paris Secrets", which, however, he is inferior in all respects. This volume presents the novel "The Queen's Conspiracy", which tells about the manners of the French and English nobility, kings and their favorites, about the confrontation between the opposition and monarchs. This is both a work of art and the work of a historian, where the bright gift of the storyteller is combined with a deep knowledge of the era.
Вильям Гаррисон Энсворт английский писатель, относящийся к так называемой "ньюгетской школе", к которой причисляют также Бульвер-Литтона, Дизраэли и других. В большинстве романов Энсворта сюжеты берутся из английской истории, в некоторых из истории Франции, причем он передает голые исторические факты в весьма живых диалогах, обставляя их комической интригой, а также порой эпизодами с духами и привидениями. Наиболее известные произведения Энсворта: "Роквуд", "Борьба за трон", "Лондонский Тауэр", и особенно "Джек Шеппард" - роман из жизни лондонских воров, подавший Эжену Сю идею его "Парижских тайн", которым, впрочем, он уступает во всех отношениях. В данном томе представлен роман "Заговор королевы", повествующий о нравах французского и английского дворянства, королей и их фаворитов, о противостоянии оппозиции и монархов. Это и художественное произведение, и труд историка, где яркий дар рассказчика сочетается с глубоким знанием эпохи.
