书籍简介

尽管布拉干萨的凯瑟琳在英国及其帝国的历史上占有重要地位，但她自那以后就被国王众多情妇的故事所掩盖，并被遗忘为查尔斯无聊、无能为力的妻子。 这与事实相差甚远。

历史学家索菲·肖兰以引人入胜的叙述方式，不仅讲述了这个长期被忽视的人物的完整故事以及她与查理二世的艰难关系，还揭示了叶卡捷琳娜如何大大小小的改变了这个国家：她的嫁妆的一部分来自孟买， 英国在印度次大陆的初块领土； 她还普及了女性裤子、巴洛克艺术和音乐，以及——也许是持久的——饮茶。

Despite Catherine of Braganza's crucial place in British history, and that of its Empire, she has since been overshadowed by stories of the king's many intimate women and forgotten as Charles' boring, powerless wife. This could not be further from the truth.

In an absorbing narrative, historian Sophie Shorland not only tells the full story of this long-overlooked figure and her difficult relationship with Charles II, but also reveals how Catherine changed the country in ways both large and small: part of her dowry was Bombay, Britain's first territory on the Indian subcontinent; she also popularised trousers for women, Baroque art and music, and - perhaps most long-lastingly - tea drinking.
