Collection of literary lectures by E.M. Forster, published in 1927. For the purposes of his study, Forster defines the novel as "any fictitious prose work over 50,000 words." Forester's wit and lively, informed originality have made this study of the novel a classic. Avoiding the chronological approach of what he calls "pseudoscholarship," Forster freely examines elements that all English-language novels have in common: story, people, plot, fantasy, prophecy, pattern and rhythm.
E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was a noted English author and critic and a member of the Bloomsbury group. His first novel, Where Angels Fear To Tread appeared in 1905. The Longest Journey appeared in 1907 followed by A Room With A View (1908), based partly on the material from extended holidays in Italy with his mother. Howards End (1910) was a story that centered on an English country house and dealt with the clash between two families, one interested in art and literature, the other only in business. Maurice was revised several times during his life, and finally published posthumously in 1971. Sir Frank Kermode is the first literary critic to be knighted since Empson and is widely acknowledged as the head of the profession in this country. His books include A Sense of an Endgin, his autobiography, Not Entitled, Pleasing Myself, and the best-selling Shakespeare's Language.
管窥《小说面面观》 在豆瓣看的书评影评多了,总免不了心生疑惑:为何那么多所谓的书评人,评书前总要先细数一遍作者的生平成就,知名著作,中间辅以一点鸡毛蒜皮的八卦绯闻,最后才惜字如金地顺带两句此书在历史上的地位,一篇所谓的书评就此完成了。怪哉,这种妖风邪...
评分看小说,学写作。 这本书非常棒。 这是一部被世人目为既是一部关于小说理论的研究专著,20世纪研究小说艺术的三大经典著作之一。又是一部语言非常生动的散文作品。 还记得最初从图书馆发现它那会的兴奋劲,真的是高兴的不得了。 后来在一个读英文系研究生(好像是比较研究所的...
评分1.福斯特说“国王死了,然后王后也死了”是故事,“国王死了,王后因伤心而死”是情节,为什么? 按照福斯特在《小说面面观》一书中的定义,故事是关于时间顺序排列的一个个事件的叙述,而情节也是关于一个个事件的叙述,只是它强调事件间的因果关系。因此,在故事的叙...
评分花了一天来读这本书,个人比较感兴趣的是第三四章人物和第六章幻想。关于福斯特提到的二流小说家总是以死亡和结婚来结束小说这一点,早先读简·奥斯汀小说时就有这种感觉。关于《傲慢与偏见》,人物倒还好,但是结局真是不敢恭维。《简·爱》也是一样。小说人物写出来之后会...

很友好的文学畅谈. 对文学框架提供了很好的注解.抛却时间,在一间屋子聚拢所有作家奋笔疾书的想法也是不错,文学作品带来的声音传递和眼睛所得进行对比.也对小说人物的真实性何在进行了简要的介绍,配合心理分析理论的话会更加令人信服.
评分怀念大二写作课,那时还读过一些片段。

评分Pseudo-scholarship is, on its good side, the homage paid by ignorance to learning. It also has an economic side, on which we need not be hard. Most of us must get a job before thirty, or sponge on our relatives, and many jobs can only be got by passing an exam.
