LEWIS GRASSIC GIBBON: A REVOLUTIONARY WRITER
Book ID/图书代码： 02636016B87649
English Summary/英文概要： Set against an informed conspectus of James Leslie Mitchell’s life and times, this study provides a comprehensive appraisal of the canon of a combative twentieth century writer who, as Lewis Grassic Gibbon, has attained a popularity unparalleled in his native Scotland, and whose fame in recent times has steadily carried to Europe and further afield. Drawing on a wealth of primary and secondary sources and making judicious use of contemporary criticism, the author takes a descriptive and analytic approach to his subject, guiding the reader through the major works book by book, including his most highly acclaimed volumes, the novel Sunset Song and the host trilogy A Scots Quair. Mitchell is clearly placed in the political and cultural context of inter-war Britain and more broadly within a contemporary setting yielding timeless resonances in radical political and philosophical thinking. Finally, the author hails the revolutionary achievement of a true modernist whose verve and trenchancy firmly establish him among the foremost fiction writers of the twentieth century. The book includes an accurate and up-to-date Biographical Outline as well as a full Bibliography of the primary and secondary works.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 与关于杰姆斯•莱斯利•米切尔的生活和时代的知情概论相比，本研究对二十世纪斗志旺盛的作家刘易斯•格拉西克•吉本的经典进行了综合评价，他在自己的祖国苏格兰有着无与伦比的声望，而且最近他的名声已稳步推向欧洲和更远的地方。借鉴了丰富的主要和次要信息来源，并明智地引用了当代批评，作者对他的主题采取了描述和分析方法，指导读者阅读主要著作，包括他最著名的小说卷，《夕阳之歌》和主人三部曲《苏格兰人的书》。显然，米切尔生活在英国内战时期下的政治和文化背景中，在激进的政治和哲学思想中，更广泛地产生当代的永恒共鸣。最终，作者取得了一个真正现代主义的革命成果，其气魄和锐利牢固奠定了他二十世纪最重要的作家之一的地位。这本书包括一个准确和最新的传记概要，以及主要和次要作品的完整书目。(LNL)
