格雷戈里：一个传记

Ian Ker | 2011 | ISBN: 0199655766 | English | 782 pages | PDF | 4 MB

G. K. Chesterton is remembered as a brilliant creator of nonsense and satirical verse, author of the Father Brown stories and the innovative novel, The Man who was Thursday, and yet today he is not counted among the major English novelists and poets. However, this major new biography argues that Chesterton should be seen as the successor of the great Victorian prose writers, Carlyle, Arnold, Ruskin, and above all Newman. Chesterton''s achievement as one of the great English literary critics has not hitherto been fully recognized, perhaps because his best literary criticism is of prose rather than poetry. Ian Ker remedies this neglect, paying particular attention to Chesterton''s writings on the Victorians, especially Dickens. As a social and political thinker, Chesterton is contrasted here with contemporary intellectuals like Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells in his championing of democracy and the masses. Pre-eminently a controversialist, as revealed in his prolific journalistic output, he became a formidable apologist for Christianity and Catholicism, as well as a powerful satirist of anti-Catholicism. This full-length life of G. K. Chesterton is the first comprehensive biography of both the man and the writer. It draws on many unpublished letters and papers to evoke Chesterton''s joyful humour, his humility and affinity to the common man, and his love of the ordinary things of life.

G. K. 沙特尔因其创造荒诞和讽刺诗歌的杰出才能而被铭记，他是福尔摩斯神父故事集和创新小说《星期四先生》的作者，但今天他并未被视为主要的英国小说家与诗人。然而，这本新近出版的重要传记认为，沙特尔应该被视为伟大维多利亚时代散文作家之后继者，包括卡莱尔、阿诺德、拉斯金以及最突出的新教徒。迄今为止，沙特尔作为伟大的英伦文学评论家所取得的成就并未得到充分认可，可能是因为他的最佳文学批评集中在散文而非诗歌上。伊恩·科尔纠正了这种忽视，在特别关注沙塔尔对维多利亚时代的观点时，他将沙特尔与当代知识分子，如本杰明·斯威夫特和H. G.威尔斯的对比摆在了显眼位置，并指出了他对民主的支持以及对普通民众的关注。作为一名极具争议性的人物，这从其丰富的新闻写作中体现出来。在基督教和天主教的支持者身份之间，他确立了自己的位置，同时他也是一位反天主教者的有力讽刺家。G. K. 沙特尔的全面生平——这是关于这个人物和他的作者的第一部综合传记——引用了许多未发表的信件与文件来描绘沙特尔的欢快幽默、谦逊和亲近民众的精神以及对日常生活普通事物的热爱。
