克倫威爾（Oliver Cromwell 1599~1653）

奧利佛·克倫威爾：宣誓就任英格蘭、蘇格蘭和愛爾蘭護國公；在位五年，直至逝世（1653年）。

奧利佛·克倫威爾——出生於1599年4月25日——是一個活生生的矛盾體，既不像大多數教科書所描繪的那樣嚴肅，也不像大多數教科書所描繪的那樣有原則。他的行為舉止充滿了古怪的惡作劇傾向和偶爾爆發的真誠快樂。

奧利佛·克倫威爾拒絕王位既是他最偉大的成就，也是他最大​​的錯誤。

Oliver Cromwell: was sworn in as Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland; he reigned for five years, till his death (1653)


Oliver Cromwell—who was born on April 25th 1599—was a walking paradox, neither as austere nor as principled as portrayed in most textbooks. His behaviour was marked by an oddly prankish streak and outbursts of genuine jollity

Oliver Cromwell's refusal of the crown was both his greatest achievement and his biggest mistake

1827

"Cromwell", Hugo's play is published and in the foreword, he wrote about gaining freedom from the classical restrictions. This started the debate between French Classicism and Romanticism.

1827
雨果的戲劇《克倫威爾》出版，在序言中，他寫道要擺脫古典主義的束縛，獲得自由。這引發了法國古典主義與浪漫主義之間的爭論。

History hasn’t been kind to Cromwell. For five centuries he’s been painted – quite literally, with his portraits being the ugliest of the bunch – as a conniving self-promoter. The mustier contingents of the history crew have sneered “revisionist” at Mantel’s interpretation of Cromwell, but it’s as legitimate as any other version when you consider that history is written by the victors and Cromwell ended up with his head in a basket.

歷史對克倫威爾並不友善。五個世紀以來，他一直被描繪成一個陰險狡詐的自我吹捧者——毫不誇張地說，他​​的肖像畫是所有肖像畫中最醜陋的。歷史研究者中那些比較陰險的人嘲笑曼特爾對克倫威爾的解讀是“修正主義”，但考慮到歷史是由勝利者書寫的，而克倫威爾最終被砍頭放到籃子裡，曼特爾的解讀就和其他版本一樣合理了。
