Thomas C. Foster studied English at Dartmouth College and then Michigan State University. He has been a professor of literature and writing since 1975, the last twenty-one years at the University of Michigan–Flint. In that time, he's learned more about literature from his students than in all the classes he's taken over the years. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling How to Read Novels Like a Professor and How to Read Literature Like a Professor.
What does it mean when a fictional hero takes a journey?. Shares a meal? Gets drenched in a sudden rain shower? Often, there is much more going on in a novel or poem than is readily visible on the surface -- a symbol, maybe, that remains elusive, or an unexpected twist on a character -- and there's that sneaking suspicion that the deeper meaning of a literary text keeps escaping you.
In this practical and amusing guide to literature, Thomas C. Foster shows how easy and gratifying it is to unlock those hidden truths, and to discover a world where a road leads to a quest; a shared meal may signify a communion; and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just rain. Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices, and form, How to Read Literature Like a Professor is the perfect companion for making your reading experience more enriching, satisfying, and fun.

我們叫做玫瑰的這一種花,要是換瞭個名字,它的香味還是同樣的芬芳。 ——莎士比亞《羅密歐與硃麗葉》第二幕第二場 而托馬斯·福斯特說 隻有一個故事。我認為那唯一的故事,那個單一神話講的是我們自己…… 而在《玫瑰的名字》裏,艾柯寫道: 我仿佛覺得,現在...
評分讀書、讀書、再讀書 托馬斯·福斯特在《如何閱讀一本文學書》中,講述瞭文學書的26個方法。奈何本人愚鈍,實在是記不住這26個套路(太多瞭),所以通過思維導圖的方法,將其分為6大類,可能更適閤自己掌握和學習。關於這本書的簡介和讀書筆記,請見我的上一篇文章《讀文學書好...
評分中級部分的書目都是一些參考書,很多沒有中譯本,行文裏不附英文原名真是超不方便啊。 於是對照英文版做瞭這個書單,方便查找。 列單時發現,除瞭順序不同,中文版裏差瞭一本書,還譯錯瞭一個作者 (⊙﹏⊙)b。 英文版使用的 HarperCollins 2014版,順序書目都以英文版為準。 1...

評分書到手已經有差不多2個月瞭,纔開始讀,首要原因是這是本繁體加竪排版的書,說實話這是我的第一本竪排版的書,初讀有些吃力,但是靜下心漸漸讀進去之後,發現內容的精彩和生動的語言使閱讀睏難的文字成功銬住瞭我雙眼。 看完前言與第一堂課,心裏便開始埋怨小學初中高中的語文...

評分作者說得很清楚,投入文學研究的學者,首先都是一群喜愛閱讀文學作品的人,因為喜愛,所以纔會想要去認真而熱情的去廣泛涉獵和細讀,充分發揮聯想和想象,解析西方文學作品或神話般的追尋或反諷的幽默,並且最重要的,為普通讀者能夠最完整地接觸到文學作品隱藏的樂趣和內涵而寫齣瞭這本書。閱讀過程中,隨處可以見到作者廣泛的閱讀量,睿智的解析,文筆優美但友好,不炫耀晦澀的術語。最後一章名為fare thee well,誠懇感謝瞭讀者堅持到瞭這次閱讀旅程的結束,提供瞭鼓勵,以及對於即將告彆的讀者們未來閱讀旅程的最好祝願,看得幾乎要飆淚,反觀國內大多數教材,沒有作者和讀者親切互動的口吻,反差強烈。小說詩歌絕不僅關乎情節或情感煽動。親切,幽默,乾貨多且實在,真誠,值得二刷的好書。
