Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Court of Christina of Sweden, and the Later Adventures of the Queen in Exile The question has been raised, indeed, whether Christina, who has been accused Of having had so many lovers, ever really had any lover at all the secrets of her alcove having been almost as well kept as the secret Of the motive of her crime. She went, say her champions, no further than flirtation with her young favourites at Stock holm; no further than Platonic friendship with Cardinal Azzolino at Rome. She resembled, in short, according to that theory, the beautiful heroine in Mr. George Moore's Celibates, who delighted in dalliance, but was deterred by a modesty indistinguishable from terror from yield ing to any man's passionate advances; and she kept lovers at a distance for the same reason for which she refused to marry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christina, Queen of Sweden With the exception of the interesting, but somewhat slipshod 'memoirs of Christina, ' by Henry Woodhead (2 vols., now out of print and hard to get, there is nothing like a complete or trustworthy account of Christina in English. In addition to some very old trans lations of foreign lives (french and German libels), and various more or less unsatisfactory notices in encyclopaedias and biographical dic tionaries, those worth naming are, that by Mrs. Jameson in her now antiquated Celebrated Female Sovereigns; the section devoted to her in Ranke's History of the Popes and an essay by Hardinge, the Lothian Prize Essay for 1880. Occasional allusions in historical and other literature show that little or nothing is commonly known about her.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maxims of a Queen, Christina of Sweden (1626-89) Though the physician, Bourdelot, and a few others amongst her friends possessed either more or less complete collections of these sayings, it is improbable that they were ever intended for publication, or made except to beguile those moments of idleness which occur even in the fullest lives. A manuscript copy of the work was found in the Queens large and straggling handwriting in the Riario Palace in Rome after her death, with the date 1680 inscribed upon it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christina of Sweden Christina of Sweden has sometimes been considered one of those problems that history has failed to solve. "On est en peine," says Arvede Barine, "de decider si elle fut sincere, ou si elle se moqua de l'Europe." At first sight the doubt may seem to be justified, but when the evidence has been examined it will be found that there is little to support it. What Christina believed herself to be, that she strove to show herself to the world. Her inordinate self-satisfaction robbed her of any motive to appear other than she was. Of data to enable the student to arrive at a comprehension of her singular character there is no lack. Her life, from childhood upwards, was lived in public; she was, from first to last, a centre of interest. Her enemies were envenomed, her friends enthusiastic; all had much to say and to write about her. Above all, her numerous letters, her maxims, the fragment of her autobiography, supply abundance of material for the formation of a conclusion. "One should speak neither good nor ill of oneself," she once wrote, "and should occasions arise when one is perhaps compelled to do so, it should be done in few words and ended as quickly as possible."
