序言为了帮助广大读者特别是英语专业学生学习英国文学,上海外语教育出版社从国外引进了这套“剑桥文学名家研习系列”丛书。正如封底文字所说,本系列丛书旨在向学生介绍英美经典作家,而普通读者如果想进一步了解自己所喜爱的作家作品,也会发现这套丛书富有吸引力。
英国文学是英国人民在漫长的历史发展进程中创造的英国文化与文明的精华,是世界文学宝库中一颗璀璨的明珠。文学是语言的艺术,英国文学是英语语言艺术的结晶。英语表意功能强,文体风格变化多,或高雅,或通俗,或含蓄,或明快,或婉约,或粗犷,其丰富的表现力和独特的魅力在英国作家作品里得到了最为淋漓尽致的发挥。要真正掌握英语,必须阅读和了解优秀的英国文学作品,英国文学因此成为高校英语专业课程设置不可或缺的组成部分。
文摘Is there a Henry...?
Henry Tilney's high spirits delight Catherine and his gentle mocking of herdelights him with his own superiority, so they are well pleased with each other.He enlivens the trivia of conventional conversation with an ebullient misogynyand knowingness, introducing her to tropes and genres outside the reach ofher commonsensical family - satire, irony, simile and metaphor, all as new toCatherine as the sensational fiction of Mrs Radcliffe. In the first few encountersshe learns that language must be scrutinised since it is not transparent. Whenshe perceives Mrs Allen's pleasure in Henry's mimicked conversation she beginsto see how people might be manipulated by speech. Henry also instructs her inthe ulterior uses of talk for flirtation, suggesting how the refusal to answer anintentionally forward or impolite question can lead to intimacy. By the timeshe is actually complimented by him as having a mind 'warped by an innateprinciple of general integrity', Catherine's unsentimental education has goneso far that she has an inkling of irony. In due course Henry's encouragementdraws out what is in Catherine rather than imposing a system from without.When they have been in the abbey for some time she receives her brother'sletter revealing Isabella's desertion; Henry prompts Catherine to express con-ventional sentimental anguish over her friend's duplicity and waits for her toachieve the correct judicious response. When Catherine replies as he wishes,he advises and compliments: 'Such feeling ought to be investigated, that theymay know themselves.'
