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.
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.

评分这不仅仅是一本告诉你文学历史和提供书单的书。请勿被其厚重的装帧而吓到,这是绝对能够给你眼前一亮的书。乍看目录,每一章节似乎是分开独立的文章,实则逻辑清楚,所要表述的文字的流动很连贯。 当然,虽然标题是这样写的,其实更应该是着重于欧美文学所在的西方世界的历史,...
评分文学是生命中的重要组成部分,当一个人像鲁滨逊般被放逐流落孤岛,如果有本文学书籍相携相伴,至少能排遣孤寂,不会绝望厌生。而我们人生百年,阅历有限,大部分的知识也都是源自阅读文学作品。所以人类热爱文学。英国伦敦大学教授约翰•萨瑟兰所著的《耶鲁文学小历史》不光...
很好阅读(生词少)的一本书,事实证明,原著比译本更能给我许多惊喜。
评分不枯燥又干货满满的好书,作者把文学和其所在的环境(context)写得很清楚。内容还很全面,不仅有作家和作品,还有对体裁的介绍、版权、图书国际化、阅读习惯、图书奖等内容(当然篇幅所限作品不可能讲解的特别详细)。作者是多年研究教授文学的教授,语言易懂还挺幽默。耶鲁小历史系列真的是宝藏啊宝藏。
评分非常棒!!!风趣幽默,简明扼要!!入门好帮手!!
评分Sutherland的文字十分易读,每章篇幅有恰到好处,是本合格的枕边书。看罢此书不由又去淘了一本作者此前的类文学评论集,并依本书提及的书目在待读单上多添了几笔。
评分和他早年 TTC的课程基本一致,确切的说就说“英文文学史”加点希腊神话史诗。感觉大学英国文学课用这个当课外教材不错,浅显优美主流。
