The Story of Nell Gwyn and the Sayings of Charles the SecondJ. Wiley's sons, 1891 - 152 стор. "Eleanor "Nell" Gwyn (or Gwynn or Gwynne) (2 February 1650? 14 November 1687) was a long-time mistress of King Charles II of England. Called "pretty, witty Nell" by Samuel Pepys, she has been regarded as a living embodiment of the spirit of Restoration England and has come to be considered a folk heroine, with a story echoing the rags-to-royalty tale of Cinderella. Elizabeth Howe, in The First English Actresses, says she was "the most famous Restoration actress of all time, possessed of an extraordinary comic talent.""--Wikipedia |
