THE SECRET LIFE OF THE ENGLISH NOVEL

Book ID/图书代码： 11340009B32229

English Summary/英文概要： The British invented the novel with the publication of Robinson Crusoe in 1719 marking the arrival of a revolutionary and distinctly modern art form. It’s also true, as Sebastian Faulks argues in this remarkable book, that the novel helped invent the British. For the first time there were stories that reflected the experiences of ordinary people. A brilliant combination of literary and social history. The Secret Life of the English Novel is an engaging and opinionated look at the psychology of the British through their literature as exemplified by characters as varied as heroes such as Tom Jones and Martin Amis’s John Self, lovers from the adored Mr. Darcy and Lady Chatterley, snobs such as Jane Austin’s Emma Woodhouse and James Bond and villains such as Fagin and Zoe Heller’s Barbara Covett.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1719年，随着鲁滨逊的出版，英国对于小说的创作也达到一个革命性的阶段，现代艺术形式也明显突出出来。在这本意义非凡的书中，塞巴斯汀·福克斯探讨了小说对于英国发展的重要意义。这也是首部以平民百姓为蓝本的故事，是文学和社会历史的完美结合。同时，也从文学中的角色来窥视英国人的心理，譬如说，英雄类的如汤姆·琼斯（1749年出版，菲尔丁的第三部小说，是英国小说史上划时代的一部杰作），情人类的如达西先生（《傲慢与偏见》）和查泰来夫人（《查泰来夫人》），势利小人类的如艾玛·伍德豪斯（《艾玛Emma》1815年出版，作者简·奥斯汀），詹姆斯·邦德（英国小说家弗莱明写的十三部间谍小说中的主人公，代号为 007），恶棍类的如费金（狄更斯小说《雾都孤儿》中的老教唆犯的名字），芭芭拉·卡维特（《丑闻笔记》《Notes on a Scandal》女主角）等等。(ZH)
