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.
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...

評分读了不少的小说,有时自以为陶醉。 作为一个读者,从来没想过小说到底是怎么弄出来,只要沉醉其中就好。 福斯特的这个讲座,他自谦是业余却能点拨到迷糊的读者。 原来小说中的人并不同我们世界中的人:小说的中的人可以一眼被看穿,他们的心理都暴露在读者眼前,我们周边的人却...

评分纔知道自己英語有多差,哎,弄本中文的再看看。
评分他的觀點很有意思,雖然他不喜歡George Eliot, 對Lawrence似乎也有一點點瞧不上????
评分Forster的語言美極,然而拖遝瞭些,真正氣定神閑時讀大概是種享受。有些觀點讓人耳目一新~
