书籍简介

如果威廉·莎士比亚从来没有写过一部戏剧，如果他的声誉完全依赖于他留下的大量的、优秀的非戏剧性的诗篇，但他仍然会在世界文学的等级制度中保持他的地位。《十四行诗与叙事诗》成书大约于1590年至1598年之间，其诗作的结构技巧和语言技巧都很高，几乎每首诗都有特别的审美价值。这本引人注目的现代《十四行诗与叙事诗》既是亲密的、巴洛克式的，同时又是广阔的；从古典题材中提取的令人振奋的叙事，里面有《凤凰和乌龟》这样的诗所代表的抒情性，可以加深我们对我们伟大诗人的多重性和能量的理解。

If William Shakespeare had never written a single play, if his reputation rested entirely upon the substantial and sterling body of nondramatic verse he left behind, he would still hold the position he does in the hierarchy of world literature. The strikingly modern sonnets-intimate, baroque, and expansive at once; the invigorating narratives drawn from classical subjects; and the flawless lyricism represented by a poem like "The Phoenix and the Turtle"-permanently deepen our understanding of the multiplicity and extravagant energy of our greatest poet.

作者简介

威廉·莎士比亚

William Shakespeare（1564-1616）

英国诗人、剧作家，出生于埃文河畔斯特拉特福，十八岁时与安妮·海瑟薇结婚，生育了三个孩子，后来到伦敦从事戏剧生涯，不仅是演员和剧作家，还是剧团的合伙人，一六一三年退休返乡，三年后逝世。莎士比亚流传下来的作品包括三十七部戏剧作品、一百五十四首十四行诗和两首长叙事诗。莎士比亚被认为是西方古典文学的灯塔式人物，其影响至今不息。

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564, and his birth is traditionally celebrated on April 23. The facts of his life, known from surviving documents, are sparse. He was one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a merchant of some standing in his community. William probably went to the King's New School in Stratford, but he had no university education. In November 1582, at the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, eight years his senior, who was pregnant with their first child, Susanna. She was born on May 26, 1583. Twins, a boy, Hamnet ( who would die at age eleven), and a girl, Judith, were born in 1585. By 1592 Shakespeare had gone to London working as an actor and already known as a playwright. A rival dramatist, Robert Greene, referred to him as "an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers." Shakespeare became a principal shareholder and playwright of the successful acting troupe, the Lord Chamberlain's Men (later under James I, called the King' s Men). In 1599 the Lord Chamberlain's Men built and occupied the Globe Theater in Southwark near the Thames River. Here many of Shakespeare's plays were performed by the most famous actors of his time, including Richard Burbage, Will Kempe, and Robert Armin. In addition to his 37 plays, Shakespeare had a hand in others, including Sir Thomas More and The Two Noble Kinsmen, and he wrote poems, including Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. His 154 sonnets were published, probably without his authorization, in 1609. In 1611 or 1612 he gave up his lodgings in London and devoted more and more time to retirement in Stratford, though he continued writing such plays as The Tempest and Henry VII until about 1613. He died on April 23, 1616, and was buried in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford. No collected edition of his plays was published during his life-time, but in 1623 two members of his acting company, John Heminges and Henry Condell, put together the great collection now called the First Folio.
