书籍简介

1809年4月，在德比郡的一座大型乡村别墅里，坐着13岁的托马斯娜·科弗利女士和她的导师塞普蒂默斯·霍奇。透过窗户可以看到一些“包括湖在内的500英亩土地”，在那里，180年后，当花园历史学家汉娜·贾维斯和伯纳德·南丁格尔站在同一个房间里时，她对他们说:“除了吸血鬼，什么都有”。

伯纳德来到这里是为了揭开据说拜伦勋爵住在西德利公园时发生的丑闻。

汤姆·斯托帕德的这部引人入胜的戏剧带领我们在几个世纪之间来回穿梭，探讨了真理和时间的本质、古典主义和浪漫主义气质之间的差异，以及性对我们生活轨道的破坏性影响——正如汉娜所说，"牛顿遗漏的吸引力"。

In a large country house in Derbyshire in April 1809 sits Lady Thomasina Coverly, aged thirteen, and her tutor, Septimus Hodge. Through the window may be seen some of the '500 acres inclusive of lake' where Capability Brown's idealized landscape is about to give way to the 'picturesque' Gothic style: 'everything but vampires', as the garden historian Hannah Jarvis remarks to Bernard Nightingale when they stand in the same room 180 years later.

Bernard has arrived to uncover the scandal which is said to have taken place when Lord Byron stayed at Sidley Park.

Tom Stoppard's absorbing play takes us back and forth between the centuries and explores the nature of truth and time, the difference between the Classical and the Romantic temperament, and the disruptive influence of sex on our orbits in life - 'the attraction', as Hannah says, 'which Newton left out'.
