John Sutherland is Lord Northcliffe Professor Emeritus of Modern English Literature, University College London. He has taught students at every level and is the author or editor of more than 20 books. His popular Lives of the Novelists: A History of Fiction in 294 Lives, published by Yale University Press, has earned widespread acclaim, including one reviewer’s praise as “a reference book that rocks.” The author lives in London.
This “little history” takes on a very big subject: the glorious span of literature from Greek myth to graphic novels, from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Harry Potter. John Sutherland is perfectly suited to the task. He has researched, taught, and written on virtually every area of literature, and his infectious passion for books and reading has defined his own life. Now he guides young readers and the grown-ups in their lives on an entertaining journey “through the wardrobe” to a greater awareness of how literature from across the world can transport us and help us to make sense of what it means to be human.
Sutherland introduces great classics in his own irresistible way, enlivening his offerings with humor as well as learning: Beowulf, Shakespeare, Don Quixote, the Romantics, Dickens, Moby Dick, The Waste Land, Woolf, 1984, and dozens of others. He adds to these a less-expected, personal selection of authors and works, including literature usually considered well below "serious attention"—from the rude jests of Anglo-Saxon runes to The Da Vinci Code. With masterful digressions into various themes—censorship, narrative tricks, self-publishing, taste, creativity, and madness—Sutherland demonstrates the full depth and intrigue of reading. For younger readers, he offers a proper introduction to literature, promising to interest as much as instruct. For more experienced readers, he promises just the same.

評分文/夏麗檸 《耶魯文學小曆史》,書名之所以冠以“耶魯”兩字,全因本書原版由耶魯大學齣版社齣版,倘若有讀者認為是耶魯大學學生的文學課教材,的確是一場誤會。不過,從閱讀指南的角度齣發,它比文學課教材更有現實意義。畢竟,文學在我們的生活裏,無處不在。 本書作者約翰...
評分文學是生命中的重要組成部分,當一個人像魯濱遜般被放逐流落孤島,如果有本文學書籍相攜相伴,至少能排遣孤寂,不會絕望厭生。而我們人生百年,閱曆有限,大部分的知識也都是源自閱讀文學作品。所以人類熱愛文學。英國倫敦大學教授約翰•薩瑟蘭所著的《耶魯文學小曆史》不光...
評分作為一個齣身中文係的人,閱讀文學史既是專業功課,也逐漸轉化成瞭私人趣味。縱使太陽底下無新事,曆史已經成為既定的事實擺在眼前,但齣自不同人筆下的文學史,仍然具有著豐富多樣的視角與層次。 在讀過大量專業性學術性極強的文學史教材之後,轉而閱讀《耶魯文學小曆史》則...
