"The next good mood I find my father in, I'll get him quite discarded" With these chillingly offhand words, Beatrice-Joanna, the spoilt daughter of a powerful nobleman, plots to get rid of the family servant who has crossed her once too often. The Changeling remains one of the most compelling tragedies from the 17th century. Exposing the vexed relationship between servants and masters, setting notions of 'change' against the revelation of psychological 'secrets' as ways of explaining human behaviour, and exploring the idea of love as a 'tame madness', the play reveals the terrifying consequences of ungoverned sexual appetite and betrayal. Despite its seemingly domestic focus, The Changeling has much to reveal about the gathering social and political tensions that were to plunge England into a destructive civil war within twenty years of its first performance. This new student edition contains a lengthy new Introduction with background on the authors, date and sources, theme, critical interpretation and stage history. The New Mermaids plays offer: * Modernized versions of the play text edited to the highest textual standards * Fully annotated student editions with obscure words explained and critical, contextual and staging insight provided on each page * Full Introductions analyzing context, themes, author background and stage history

刚拿到这本《The Changeling (New Mermaids)》的时候,就被它别致的书名吸引住了。虽然我对“变形者”这个概念并不陌生,但“New Mermaids”这个副标题却让人充满遐想——难道是海洋世界里的全新叙事?还是关于海洋生物的某种奇幻转变?我迫不及待地翻开,期待着一场未知的文学冒险。这本书的装帧设计也相当考究,封面色彩深邃,图案勾勒出一丝神秘感,让人在阅读前就沉浸在一种奇幻的氛围中。我总是相信,一本好书,从它的名字和外表就应该能透露出它内在的魅力,而《The Changeling (New Mermaids)》无疑在这方面做得相当出色,成功地勾起了我强烈的好奇心,让我对接下来的故事充满了期待,想要一探究竟,看看作者是如何将“变形”这一主题与“新美人鱼”这一充满想象力的元素巧妙融合,从而构建出一个独一无二的世界观。我非常好奇作者是如何处理这种跨越界限的叙事,以及“变形”的具体形式会在故事中扮演怎样的角色,是否与美人鱼的身份、传说或者习俗有着千丝万缕的联系,这让我对接下来的阅读体验充满了极大的兴趣。
评分我必须说,《The Changeling (New Mermaids)》在叙事节奏的把控上做得相当老练。故事开篇就足够吸引人,迅速将读者带入情境,但又不会过于急躁,而是留下了足够的空间去铺垫和发展。随着情节的推进,每一次“变形”的揭示都恰到好处,总能在最令人意想不到的时刻出现,让整个故事充满了惊喜和张力。我特别喜欢作者处理人物弧光的方式,那些曾经看似模糊不清的角色,在经历了一系列的事件后,逐渐显露出他们真实的色彩,他们的成长、他们的选择,都显得那么自然而又令人动容。这本书让我认识到,即使在最奇幻的设定下,最真实的情感依然能够打动人心。我被书中人物的命运深深牵引,为他们的遭遇感到揪心,也为他们的每一次小小的胜利而感到欣慰。作者的笔触细腻而富有力量,让每一个角色的内心世界都显得格外丰满,我甚至会站在他们的角度去思考问题,去感受他们的喜怒哀乐,这种沉浸式的阅读体验,是我一直所追求的,而《The Changeling (New Mermaids)》无疑满足了我。
评分这本书的内容,真的就像它的名字一样,充满了令人意想不到的“变形”和“转变”。我一边读,一边感觉自己像是踏入了一个完全陌生的国度,这里的规则、这里的生物、这里的社会结构,都与我们所熟知的世界截然不同。作者对于细节的描绘极其到位,仿佛能让你亲身感受到那些“变形者”的挣扎与蜕变,他们的情感起伏、他们的内心独白,都被刻画得淋漓尽致。我尤其对书中对于“身份认同”的探讨印象深刻,当一个生命不得不经历剧烈的改变,当他们不再是原来的自己,他们该如何寻找自己的位置?这种哲学层面的思考,被巧妙地融入到跌宕起伏的情节中,让这本书不仅仅是一部奇幻小说,更像是一面镜子,映照出我们内心深处对于自我、对于归属感的探索。读到某些段落时,我甚至会停下来,陷入沉思,思考在现实生活中,我们是否也曾经历过类似的“变形”时刻,以及我们又是如何应对的。《The Changeling (New Mermaids)》给我带来的,远不止是阅读的乐趣,更是一种深刻的启迪。
评分这本书带给我的,是一种前所未有的阅读体验。作者的想象力简直是天马行空,却又构筑了一个逻辑严谨的世界。从“变形者”的设定,到“新美人鱼”的族群文化,再到他们之间错综复杂的关系,一切都显得那么真实可信,仿佛真的存在于某个未知的角落。我尤其欣赏书中对于环境的描写,无论是深邃的海底王国,还是陆地上的陌生景象,都被描绘得栩栩如生,让我仿佛身临其境。这种场景的营造,不仅为故事增添了视觉上的冲击力,更重要的是,它有效地烘托了人物的情感和故事的氛围。我时常会因为书中某处绝美的景色而停下脚步,惊叹于作者的创造力。同时,书中对于不同文化、不同物种之间交流与冲突的探讨,也引发了我对于现实世界中多样性与包容性的思考。这本书让我看到了,即使是完全不同的存在,也能够找到共存的方式,或者,即便无法共存,也能够从中学习到彼此的优点。
评分《The Changeling (New Mermaids)》给我留下最深刻印象的,是它在叙事中传递出的某种哲学思考。这本书并非仅仅是一个简单的奇幻故事,它更像是一次关于存在、关于变化、关于我们是谁的深刻追问。那些“变形者”的经历,触及了我们内心深处对于身份的不确定感,对于未来的迷茫,以及对于改变的恐惧与渴望。我喜欢作者并没有给出一个简单的答案,而是留给读者足够的空间去思考,去解读。书中那些充满象征意义的桥段,每一次都引人深思。我会在读完后,久久不能平静,反复回味书中的情节和对话,试图从中挖掘出更深层次的含义。这本书让我明白,所谓的“变形”,并非仅仅是外在形态的改变,更是内心世界的重塑,是对生命本质的一次深刻的探索。它挑战了我原有的认知,也拓展了我对世界的理解,让我对“不同”有了更深的敬意,也对“成长”有了更深刻的认识。
评分Middleton and Rowley know how to write dialogues! This play engages one pretty fast and holds one all the way through. Continuous sexual allusions at times seem vulgar but I know that they are the norm not only during this time but also at all times. This is the first play that I have *actually* understood and enjoyed!
