内容简介
  《古典文学里程碑》是以西方文学从古代到20世纪早期的作家与作品为内容的三卷本系列丛书的最后一本。在本册里,菲利普?盖斯凯尔对古希腊和罗马文学大师们的英译作品进行了介绍。该书首先介绍了荷马史诗《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》之前的历史及作品产生的时代,回顾了稍后的抒情诗人,如萨福和品达。接着介绍了希腊古典作品、神奇的艺术以及早期民主的辉煌时代评介了索福克勒斯以及他的剧作家同行、历史学家希罗多德和修西得底斯以及柏拉图引人入胜的苏格拉底对话录。在简要描述了下一个时代,即希腊文化的希腊化时期后——田园诗人忒奥克里托斯的作品属于这个时期——该书紧接着介绍了罗马文学的黄金时代。这部分介绍了生活于共和国晚期和充满了战争与辉煌的动荡不安的罗马帝国早期的诗人和思想家们,其中包括集战士、历史学家和独裁者于一身的尤利乌斯?恺撒,集政治家、律师和作家于一身的西赛罗,诗人维吉尔(《埃涅伊德》的作者)、贺拉斯、奥维德以及罗马最伟大的历史学家塔西佗。还有一些章节讨论了政治与社会、宗教、文化和艺术、语言、战争、经济、技术及哲学,俾使读者能够理解与欣赏不同背景下的文学。从一开始,该书就对英译古典作品的阅读、古代人名的形式和发音、古典诗歌中的格律等提出了指导性的意见,并就最佳译文提供了说明。附录部分就存世的古典文本以及文本考据方面提供了更加专业化的信息。该书适合于英语专业的本科生、研究生、从事英语教学的教师以及英语文学爱好者阅读。
