A Little History of Literature pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
This “little history” takes on a very big subject: the glorious span of literature from Greek myth to graphic novels, from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Harry Potter. John Sutherland is perfectly suited to the task. He has researched, taught, and written on virtually every area of literature, and his infectious passion for books and reading has defined his own life. Now he guides young readers and the grown-ups in their lives on an entertaining journey “through the wardrobe” to a greater awareness of how literature from across the world can transport us and help us to make sense of what it means to be human.
Sutherland introduces great classics in his own irresistible way, enlivening his offerings with humor as well as learning: Beowulf, Shakespeare, Don Quixote, the Romantics, Dickens, Moby Dick, The Waste Land, Woolf, 1984, and dozens of others. He adds to these a less-expected, personal selection of authors and works, including literature usually considered well below "serious attention"—from the rude jests of Anglo-Saxon runes to The Da Vinci Code. With masterful digressions into various themes—censorship, narrative tricks, self-publishing, taste, creativity, and madness—Sutherland demonstrates the full depth and intrigue of reading. For younger readers, he offers a proper introduction to literature, promising to interest as much as instruct. For more experienced readers, he promises just the same.
John Sutherland is Lord Northcliffe Professor Emeritus of Modern English Literature, University College London. He has taught students at every level and is the author or editor of more than 20 books. His popular Lives of the Novelists: A History of Fiction in 294 Lives, published by Yale University Press, has earned widespread acclaim, including one reviewer’s praise as “a reference book that rocks.” The author lives in London.

评分Sutherland写的文学史都可以看看,这部简史不光涉及主要作家,还有若干伴随文学史出现的延伸问题。不过几乎只侧重西方,而且没有太多个性,还是博尔赫斯和纳博科夫的两部最值得膜拜。
John Sutherland的这本a little history of literature出版自yale university然而并不是一本美国文学简史。它的立足点还是英伦三岛,并且在基本时间轴的基础上给予章节比较个性化的分类,让普通人更容易接受,看起来482p的砖头竟然也能行云流水,周内完成。当然对于我们这种本...
评分这是一本充满激情的指导书,带你走过文学的历史长河……萨瑟兰并不是要将高雅艺术和通俗艺术区分开来,而是要分享他阅读的乐趣。简洁的语言,非理论和评论的文风,记述了一辈子与文学相依相伴的愉悦故事。萨瑟兰给我们带来的是令人钦佩的丰富的阅读体验,慷慨的精神力量和对于...
评分 评分作为一个出身中文系的人,阅读文学史既是专业功课,也逐渐转化成了私人趣味。纵使太阳底下无新事,历史已经成为既定的事实摆在眼前,但出自不同人笔下的文学史,仍然具有着丰富多样的视角与层次。 在读过大量专业性学术性极强的文学史教材之后,转而阅读《耶鲁文学小历史》则...
评分我是在读狄更斯的间歇看到这本书的。先读了其中关于狄更斯的那一章,觉得很受启发。作者对狄更斯作品伟大性的五点总结,对我后续的阅读有相当大的帮助。可惜看到的晚了,不然我相信在之前的阅读中,会有更多的触动。 因此,我开始打算读一章小历史,再根据里面的内容看一本书。...
