Despite fierce opposition from his mother, Queen Victoria, Edward VII was always passionately in love with France. He had affairs with the most famous Parisian actresses, courtesans and can-can dancers. He spoke French more elegantly than English. The author argues that as 'Dirty Bertie', Edward learned all the essentials in life from the French.

虽然把它放进了‘老男人研究会所俱乐部’这么个带着调侃意味的书单,但是刮去油腻与'噫!好恶心!不过再看一眼 的酸爽吃屎心理‘,这人确实写了一些比较独家的角度与史料(虽然充满着'噫!好恶心!’ 的male gaze

是在路边打发时间买的,聚集咸湿与‘male gaze’的人物传,但做消遣还是可以的读物。
