E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was a noted English author and critic and a member of the Bloomsbury group. His first novel, Where Angels Fear To Tread appeared in 1905. The Longest Journey appeared in 1907 followed by A Room With A View (1908), based partly on the material from extended holidays in Italy with his mother. Howards End (1910) was a story that centered on an English country house and dealt with the clash between two families, one interested in art and literature, the other only in business. Maurice was revised several times during his life, and finally published posthumously in 1971. Sir Frank Kermode is the first literary critic to be knighted since Empson and is widely acknowledged as the head of the profession in this country. His books include A Sense of an Endgin, his autobiography, Not Entitled, Pleasing Myself, and the best-selling Shakespeare's Language.
Collection of literary lectures by E.M. Forster, published in 1927. For the purposes of his study, Forster defines the novel as "any fictitious prose work over 50,000 words." Forester's wit and lively, informed originality have made this study of the novel a classic. Avoiding the chronological approach of what he calls "pseudoscholarship," Forster freely examines elements that all English-language novels have in common: story, people, plot, fantasy, prophecy, pattern and rhythm.

Tremendously readable. Forster writes without no phony scientific attempts, but the work turns to be persuasive with the pre-Bakthin formalistic aucuracy and understandable categories. The time-space dimension is as simple and classy as Newton, still it wor...

評分福斯特的《小說麵麵觀》我看過兩遍,相隔有十幾年。第一遍看的印象早已蕩然無存,連書也找不到瞭,十多年後,又買瞭一本,又讀瞭一遍,這麼多年中,我也看瞭他的一些小說,以及小說改編的電影,再讀他的書感受也就自然深瞭一點。有趣的是,這次看《小說麵麵觀》時是和錢鍾書的...

所有story writing理論書錶麵教寫作,其實教的都是人生;人類不僅是同類和同伴,也是研究對象。關於characterization of people 和 plot之間平衡的矛盾, narrative tone等方麵對我幫助很大。
評分雖然不同意他的一些觀點,但很喜歡這種文風。幽默流暢,而不是美國式的上來裝自來熟的親昵。另外,金句警句也有很多,可以作為上課的例子
評分Pseudo-scholarship is, on its good side, the homage paid by ignorance to learning. It also has an economic side, on which we need not be hard. Most of us must get a job before thirty, or sponge on our relatives, and many jobs can only be got by passing an exam.
