章節(jié)摘錄
Details about William Shakespeare’S Iife are sketchy,mostly mere surmise based upon court or other Cherical records.William n0 doubt attended the IocaI grammar school in Stratford where his parents lived,and would have studied primarily Latin Chetoric,logic,and literature. ShakespeareS life can be divided into three periods:the first 20 years in Stratford,which includes his schooling,early marriage,and fatherhood;the next 25 years as an actor and playwright in London;and the last five in mtirement back in Stratford where he enjoyed moderate wealth gained from his theatrical successes. The years linking the fi rst two periods are marked by a lack of information about Shakespeare。and are often referred to as the“dark years”;the transition from active workr into retirement was gradual and cannot be precisely dated. At Some 1point du-ring the“dark years,”Shakespeare began his career with a London theatricaI company perhaps in 1 598一fOr he was already an actor and playwright of some note in 1592.Shakespeare apparently wrote and acted for Pembrokes Men。as welf as。numerous others,’in.particular Stranges Men,which later became the Chamberlain’s Men.with whom he remainedlfor the rest of his Career. When in 1592,the Plague closed the theaters for about two’years, Shakespeare turned to writing book-length narrative 1poetry.Most notable were Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece.During this same period,Shakespeare was writing his sonnets,which are more likely signs of the time’S fashion rather than actual love poems detailing any particular relationship.He returned to play wr t ng when lheaters reopened in 1594,and published no more poetry.
編輯推薦
21世紀(jì)英語(yǔ)專業(yè)系列教材叢書。我國(guó)高等院校英語(yǔ)專業(yè)課程設(shè)置不斷豐富和完善,對(duì)英語(yǔ)專業(yè)本科生畢業(yè)論文惡要求也在不斷提高,現(xiàn)有的英美文學(xué)史及選讀課教學(xué)已經(jīng)無(wú)法滿足在校大學(xué)生的要求,許多劃分更為細(xì)致、內(nèi)容更為齊全、設(shè)計(jì)更為系統(tǒng)的專業(yè)選修課應(yīng)運(yùn)而生,小說(shuō)賞析、詩(shī)歌賞析、戲劇賞析、散文賞析等課程如雨后春筍,給高校英美文學(xué)教學(xué)帶來(lái)了勃勃生機(jī)。 為此,編者編寫了此書。編者選擇了有代表性的作家的代表性的作品,并且將整部書稿的篇幅限定在20部作品,將每部作品的選文篇幅限定在20頁(yè)以內(nèi)。相信這些作品及選文可以為英美戲劇學(xué)習(xí)者提供捷徑,但不能讓這些學(xué)習(xí)者到達(dá)英美戲劇學(xué)習(xí)的終點(diǎn)。
