What makes a work of literature good or bad? How freely can the reader interpret it? Could a nursery rhyme like Baa Baa Black Sheep be full of concealed loathing, resentment and aggression? In this accessible, delightfully entertaining book, Terry Eagleton addresses these intriguing questions and a host of others. How to Read Literature is the book of choice for students new to the study of literature and for all other readers interested in deepening their understanding and enriching their reading experience. In a series of brilliant analyses, Eagleton shows how to read with due attention to tone, rhythm, texture, syntax, allusion, ambiguity, and other formal aspects of literary works. He also examines broader questions of character, plot, narrative, the creative imagination, the meaning of fictionality, and the tension between what works of literature say and what they show. Unfailingly authoritative and cheerfully opinionated, the author provides useful commentaries on classicism, Romanticism, modernism and postmodernism along with spellbinding insights into a huge range of authors, from Shakespeare and Jane Austen to Samuel Beckett and J. K. Rowling.
Terry Eagleton is Distinguished Professor of Literature, University of Lancaster, UK, and Excellence in English Distinguished Visiting Professor, University of Notre Dame. One of the most influential literary critics in the English-speaking world, he is the author of more than 40 books on literary theory, postmodernism, politics, ideology, and religion, among them his best-selling Literary Theory: An Introduction. He lives in Northern Ireland, UK.
作者的《二十世纪西方文学理论》看的我头都炸了,太学术了。这本就比较亲民,阅读感受很好。只是有点太亲民了,有些地方显得有点嘴碎。特别值得一提的是这本书翻译的非常好。 全书五章:开头、人物、叙事、解读和价值。前四章让我收获很大。尤其是开头和解读这两章,让我对如何...
评分书名叫“阅读指南”但并不是好像很火的那本《如何阅读一本书》的风格,从内容上来看的话,会更像托马斯. 福斯特的《如何阅读一本小说》与《如何阅读一本文学书》。 这本书主要分为“开头”“人物”“叙事”“解读”“价值”五章,每章论述一些相关问题。伊格尔顿从第一句话开始...

评分LSL/文 伊格尔顿,这位当今西方马克思主义理论界的三驾马车之一,在写完《理论之后》之后,对理论感到深深的厌倦,可惯性仍驱使着他不停地写出一本又一本理论著作,以维系“文学理论家”的头衔。伊格尔顿连“文学理论家”的头衔也感到深深的厌倦,就如他对长久以来背负的“政...
说理很清晰,不过好浅~
评分作者围绕 openings, character, narrative, interpretation, value 写了五篇短文,风格较随意,不时拿特朗普之类的人开涮。不过,想了解这些概念,申丹老师的 叙事、文体与潜文本,似乎更值得推荐。
评分Talks about the most basic stuff in rather contrived British humorism... definitely less helpful than his Introduction
评分比读诗和文论写得要散很多,毕竟把文学作为整体来谈,篇幅有限难以对知识点逐个讨论。不过老大爷笔锋还在,分析起作品来思路清晰,不乏很好的范例。
