前言

　　普通中國(guó)讀者，包括英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)的學(xué)生，對(duì)于英國(guó)文學(xué)的了解一般只限于個(gè)別經(jīng)典作品，而對(duì)作家其人其事及其整個(gè)文學(xué)創(chuàng)作情況所知甚少。其中部分的原因是文學(xué)史家們編寫(xiě)的英國(guó)文學(xué)史往往注重介紹作品的情節(jié)內(nèi)容，對(duì)作家的生活經(jīng)歷、作品的具體創(chuàng)作過(guò)程著墨不多。上海外語(yǔ)教育出版社從英國(guó)大英圖書(shū)館出版社（The British Librarv）引進(jìn)出版“英國(guó)作家生平叢書(shū)”，彌補(bǔ)了這方面的缺憾。該叢書(shū)以圖文并茂的形式講述莎士比亞等14位英國(guó)著名作家的生平故事，同時(shí)穿插介紹他們的作品，有助于充實(shí)讀者對(duì)英國(guó)文學(xué)的認(rèn)識(shí)?！　∮?guó)文學(xué)源遠(yuǎn)流長(zhǎng)，經(jīng)歷了長(zhǎng)期復(fù)雜的發(fā)展演變過(guò)程。在這個(gè)過(guò)程中，文學(xué)本體以外的各種現(xiàn)實(shí)的、歷史的、政治的、文化的力量對(duì)文學(xué)發(fā)生著影響，而作家個(gè)體的獨(dú)特生活遭遇也是造就文學(xué)杰作的一個(gè)重要因素?！坝?guó)作家生平叢書(shū)”對(duì)14位名家的傳記式介紹，充分展示了這一點(diǎn)。戲劇方面，莎士比亞是英國(guó)文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期最杰出的劇作家，他當(dāng)過(guò)演員，其作品思想內(nèi)容深刻、藝術(shù)表現(xiàn)手法精湛，歷經(jīng)幾個(gè)世紀(jì)長(zhǎng)演不衰。詩(shī)歌方面，浪漫主義詩(shī)人華茲華斯、柯勒律治、拜倫、濟(jì)慈的不同身世對(duì)他們的詩(shī)歌創(chuàng)作及藝術(shù)風(fēng)格產(chǎn)生深刻影響；維多利亞時(shí)代詩(shī)人伊麗莎白·巴雷特和羅伯特·布朗寧的愛(ài)情故事是英國(guó)文壇的一段佳話。小說(shuō)方面，狄更斯是19世紀(jì)英國(guó)最偉大的小說(shuō)家，他的許多小說(shuō)以孤兒為主人公，這與作家童年時(shí)代的一段不幸經(jīng)歷有關(guān)；康拉德來(lái)自波蘭，將自己奇特的身世背景和航海經(jīng)歷交融在字里行間；女作家?jiàn)W斯丁、瑪麗·雪萊、勃朗特姐妹、伍爾夫以女性特有的視角和敏銳的觀察描摹人性與社會(huì)，思考婦女的生存狀況，她們的小說(shuō)無(wú)論在思想主題、題材表現(xiàn)方面，還是在敘述手法上，都有創(chuàng)新，對(duì)推動(dòng)英國(guó)文學(xué)的發(fā)展作出了突出貢獻(xiàn)。　　“英國(guó)作家生平叢書(shū)”原版由大英圖書(shū)館出版社出版，體現(xiàn)出圖書(shū)館出版物的特點(diǎn)。書(shū)中配有大量的插圖，有些是珍貴的手稿，有些是罕見(jiàn)的照片，有些是博物館或美術(shù)館珍藏的油畫(huà)和素描，讓讀者有幸一睹作家的風(fēng)采，產(chǎn)生直觀的感覺(jué)。這些插圖帶有不同時(shí)代的印記，營(yíng)造出濃厚的歷史感。叢書(shū)的作者均為專(zhuān)業(yè)領(lǐng)域里有著較深造詣的學(xué)者，對(duì)史料的掌握系統(tǒng)全面，他們用生動(dòng)的語(yǔ)言娓娓講述作家生平事跡，點(diǎn)評(píng)具體文學(xué)作品，書(shū)末還附有供讀者進(jìn)一步閱讀的書(shū)單，推薦了有代表性的文獻(xiàn)，對(duì)英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)學(xué)生撰寫(xiě)課程論文或畢業(yè)論文很有幫助。　　“英國(guó)作家生平叢書(shū)”內(nèi)容有趣，插圖精美，文字簡(jiǎn)潔，兼顧普及性和專(zhuān)業(yè)性，是學(xué)習(xí)和了解英國(guó)文學(xué)的良師益友。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　the next morning began a twelve-week walking tour of the continent. We went staffin hand, Wordsworth recalled more than fifty years later, without knapsacks, andcarrying each his needments tied up in a pocket handkerchief, with about twentypounds apiece in. our pockets. It was an intoxicating time to travel through France,for the country was, as Wordsworth put it in a letter to Dorothy, mad with joy inconsequence of the revolution. In May the previous year, King Louis XVI, in anattempt to maintain control over his debt-ridden country, had summoned hisparliament, the States-General, but by July had been forced to replace the States-General with a National Assembly, and absolute political power had passed out of thehands of the aristocracy. On 14 July, the Bastille, the Paris fortress which symbolisedthe old feudal order, had been stormed and destroyed. Wordsworth and Jones werestarting their walking tour on the very anniversary of this momentous event, whichhad come to mark the beginning of the French Revolution. As they left Calais, theFete de la F6d6ration was being celebrated in Paris, and the King was swearing anoath of allegiance to the new constitution.

編輯推薦

　　Inspired by Englands Lake District， William Wordsworth （1770-1850）created some of the best-loved poems of the Romantic period. In The Preludehe described his youth and schooling， and the death of both his parentswhen he was just a child. Wordsworth was separated from his sister， Dorothy，at that time. but was reunited with her in 1795. Her private diaries and cher-ished companionship inspired many of his works， and she lived with herbrother and his family until his death. Together they formed a literary three-some with poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge， who lived near them for much oftheir lives.In this fascinating biography， the author traces the details of Wordsworthslife - his studies at Cambridge， his early travels in France and his passionatesupport of the French Revolution， his return to the Lake District， and hismarriage and children - that have such a presence in his autobiographicalpoems. Wordsworths work had a tremendous influence on his contempo-raries， such as Shelley and Keats， and on later generations of poets.This authoritative introduction to .Wordsworths life and work is filled with awide variety of photographs， portraits， and paintings， as well as originalmanuscripts from the British Library， the Wordsworth Trust， and othersources.
