书籍介绍
这是一部几乎没人能读完、读完也未必读懂的史诗。斯宾塞耗时多年,仅完成前六卷又加第七卷残篇,三万余行,至今仍是英语文学中最难啃的文本之一:中世纪传奇、乔叟、维吉尔、阿里奥斯托在这里被熔成一炉,人名地名混杂着拉丁与希腊词根,读下去的门槛高得惊人。它真正诱人的地方恰恰在于这份“难”——一部把骑士冒险、道德寓言与政治隐喻层层嵌套的庞大工程,每位骑士都是一种品德的化身,读者要做的不是追情节,而是不断破译“谁代表什么”。对多数人来说,它是悬在书架上的丰碑;对少数愿意沉进去的人,它是一次与文艺复兴精神正面交锋的智力冒险。适合有耐心、爱考据、不惧怕生僻词根的读者,不适合寻求轻松故事的读者。
作者简介
埃德蒙·斯宾塞(Edmund Spenser,1552-1599),英国文艺复兴时期最杰出的诗人之一,创作上风格多变、优美精致、耐人寻味,被称为“诗人之诗人”,后世诗人如华兹华斯、济慈、拜伦等都难掩对他的钦佩之情,代表作有《牧人月历》、《仙后》等。 邢怡,女,1965年11月09日生于陕西富平,汉族,1989年于西安外国语学院获英语语言文学学士学位,2001年于华东师范大学获英语语言文学硕士学位。

精彩摘录
  • "And hide thy head 藏起你的贵头"
  • "Book I Canto i Canto: Ital. ‘song’ used, e.g. by Ariosto; here first used in English for the twelve divisions of a book, the usual epic division from Homer (24) by way of Virgil (12). Drayton 1931–41:2.5 comments: ‘The Italians use Canto’s; and so our first late great Reformer, Master Spenser’."
  • "Canto. I. The Patrone of true Holinesse, Foule Errour doth defeate: Hypocrisie him to entrappe, Doth to his home entreate."
  • "Patrone: protector and defender (from Lat. patronus); hence Guyon is addressed as one ‘that for that vertue [temperance] fights’ (II xii 1.6). Bryskett 1970:22 records that S. told him that he had undertaken a work ‘to represent all the moral vertues, assigning to every vertue, a Knight to be the pa"
  • "Stanzas 1–6 On the legend of St George with the maiden and her lamb, see ‘George, St’ in the SEnc; on his cult in England, see Bengston 1997. In his note to Drayton’s reference to St George as England’s patron, Selden records the story of the knight’s delivery of the king’s daughter from the dragon "
  • "siluer shielde: the ‘shield of faith’ (Eph. 6.16). The silver shield with its cross of blood was known as St George’s arms, as ii 11.9 indicates. Hardyng 1812:84 records that they were given to Arviragus when Joseph converted him to Christianity ‘long afore sainct George was gotten or borne’."
  • "3 dints: dents, a S. neologism that combines the blow (‘dint’ OED 1), and its effect. The knight’s unproven role corresponds to David’s when he ‘girded … his sworde vpon his rayment and began to go: for he neuer proued it’ (1 Sam. 17.39). Unlike David who doffs his armour to prove his God, Una’s kni"
  • "5–9.9 On the ‘groue’ (7.2) as a literary topos, see Curtius 1953:194–95. The list of trees displays S.’s craftsmanship as the poet of faery land. Being a traditional epic catalogue, it announces his poetical kinship with Chaucer (Parl. Fowls 176–82), Virgil (Aen. 6.179–82, Georg. 2.440–53), and Ovid"

真骑士公主战恶龙的故事,巴拉蹦吧神还原
看完了。诗歌体叙事还真不适合我,故事本身能打四星半,扣半分在阅读体验上。修辞太多,经过翻译以后又有点打油诗的文风,但故事是很好的。只要不把带入影射,去掉政治色彩,可以当做奇幻小说,读着读着总有惊喜冒出来,小时候看到好看的童话故事才会有这种兴奋吧。看得出作者的用心。是非常古典、清新的良心之作。很遗憾,作者最终没能没完成他的作品,不过已经给我提供不少创作灵感了。PS:英语版就在旁边,看了两行就弃了。看不懂,对于我的水平简直是鬼画符,完全不符合现代人的思维习惯。感谢译者
回到更古的文本可看的点很多,对尤娜贞洁的赞美,认为女巫肉欲是贪婪肮脏的,骑士寻找着初见如梦般的仙后...还需探讨。译本韵脚是有问题但是附了英文可参考。无论如何感谢译者的努力。
居然么得大结局,唉╯▂╰
traduttore, traditore
它们无常而渐失的兴盛时期,很快在岁月的镰刀之下殁殪。
这部作品最有特色的地方就在于用每个人的性格特点给其命名,初读会有点奇怪,但是读起来也颇有乐趣。
