“热奈特有一个意味深长的结论:瓦尔堡的名言“上帝在细节中”曾经是艺术史家的座右铭,今后也应成为风格学家的座右铭。 ”《理论的幽灵“文学与常识》中论文体学的一句话,很适合概括这本书。not to dissect the flower of beauty (for that is a misleading metaphor), but at least to scrutinise it carefully, even, from time to time, under a microscope. 写的蛮好的,文体的道为先。文体本身是缘于内容和形式的关系的争辩,其学科方法离不开比较。第二张,真的很结构化,新批评,很适合教学生如何文本细读。第一章建议精读,后面按需。读到1/4感觉自己有点迷失在细节。
