图书标签: 英文原版 英国文学 小说 GeorgeEliot George Eliot
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbours.' An epic study of provincial life at a time when England was facing rapid industrialization and increasingly fluid social mobility, Eliot's depiction of the small community of Middlemarch weaves an intricate web of different characters disparate lives as they strive to adapt to the changing world around them. Eliot was one of the first of her female contemporaries to write a novel that dealt with real-life issues and complex yet ordinary human life.

评分Collins Classics这个版本是便宜,排版与拼写舛错之处倒不少(对比Norton Critical版本)。 不过回到作品本身,确实值得一读。George Eliot对道德(即如何与他人相处,调和个体追求及特质与社会规约及的矛盾)的关注使得小说几近成为一本伦理大片,读起来很沉重,并不轻松,不若将副标题改成What's the Right Thing to Do????? 作者站在全知视角充分挖掘角色的心理,因而几乎对每个人都是充满理解与同情的(尽管不乏Jane Austen式一针见血的讥刺反讽,但不尖酸刻薄,而是带着同情的戏谑)。这点与作者的道德关切相契合,即需尽量理解同情他人,将一种以邻人为友的归属感(以感情为理性指导)作为道德判断的基础(不然,为了私欲什么道德选择不能用理性自洽呢)。
