NINE LIVES OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Book ID/图书代码: 12771011B49975
English Summary/英文概要: We know relatively little about Shakespeare’s life, and yet it continues to fascinate us. This new biography of Shakespeare identifies and expounds the many possible ‘lives’ that can reasonably be drawn around the basic facts, traditions and literary remains of his legacy. Graham Holderness takes a hard and fresh look at the facts, the traditions, and the possible relations between a life and the works that life created. He offers nine possible short ‘lives’ of Shakespeare, each based on specific facts and traditions, drawn from the documentary record and from biographical interpretation and each supported by a body of critical and biographical work. Each section includes a critical essay detailing the biographical facts and showing how they have been interpreted, paired with a fictional narrative based on those facts. The fictional narratives use various styles, short stories, bogus historical documents, magic-realist fables. Each engages with the key facts, traditions and interpretative consensus, and creates an imaginary space in which the dry bones of historical record can be made to live.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 莎翁生平,我们一直知之甚少,正因为如此,时隔几个世纪,我们仍旧对其有着浓厚的兴趣。本书是一部全新的莎翁传记,引入并详述了可能对莎翁造成重大影响的多面因素,这些方方面面改写了文学传统,成为莎翁留下的不容忽视的宝贵财富。格雷姆•霍尔德内斯以全新的视角重新审视莎翁生平,他穿透表象,关注其内在传统,以及莎翁一生的际遇同期作品间不容小觑的紧密联系。他提供给广大读者对于莎翁生平的9种猜测,每一种都建立在特定史实和传统之上,并参考大量资料记载,其中涵盖有对其自传的揣摩解读,因而每一种都极为接近真实。书中每一部分都有一段评论性论述,用以支撑论述该段自传的真实性,并配以一段小说中的相关叙述描写。小说叙述采用多种文体,短篇故事,伪造历史史料,魔幻寓言等等。但每一段运用的都恰如其分,丝丝入扣,使传统与猜测相一致,为读者营造出巨大的想象空间,使得枯燥的历史瞬间鲜活起来。(兼职翻译-DC)

"一如普洛斯彼罗(莎士比亚戏剧《暴风雨》中人物),格雷姆•霍尔德内斯也虚构了一个世界---墨水与羽笔,遗失的手稿,数羊轶事,求爱仪式,十七世纪表演风尚,宗教传统,商贸往来,等等。毋庸置疑,从古至今,关于莎翁的生平传记早已不下百本,但却没有一部能够超越这本,如此的宏大,如此的精妙,如此的睿智,如此的灵逸。几个世纪以来,莎翁和他的作品俨然已成为一场无声的战场,只不过一切都是一场推测。霍尔德内斯在这一课题上极为入迷,他从小说中深入挖掘那些纠缠不清的情节,一步步编织着只属于他自己的丰富多彩的画面。除了安东尼•布吉斯所著的关于莎翁的《他是太阳》以外,本书是有史以来最令人喜爱的莎翁传记。这本书大概即便是莎翁本人也会很欣然阅读到吧。”----罗格•路易斯,著有《皮特•塞勒生平》和《季节自杀笔记》
