内容简介

是什么使玛丽.雪莱的作品区别于其他许多的小说作品？是什么样的创造力和远见的特殊结合使《大宪章》的起草成为可能？这是一份不一样的文件，对基本人权概念来说是如此重要，以至于它的名字现在可以用来定义它之后的许多宣言。在描述这些杰出的成就——以及他们背后的男男女女——时，我们使用“天才”这个词虽然天才很难定义，但当我们遇到它时，我们都认识到它的难以捉摸的特殊性质。

《天才的印记》向人类历史上一些杰出的天才证明致敬，从古代纸草文本、非凡的中世纪手稿《杜斯启示录》到儿童作品《柳树中的风》。它汇集了博德莱安图书馆藏品中一些稀有、令人印象深刻的珍宝，讲述了每一部作品的创作及其时间历程，让读者深入了解其影响的广度和深度，以及它的魅力。

What sets Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein apart from so many other famous works of fiction? What special combination of creativity and vision made possible the drafting of Magna Carta―a document both so unprecedented and so fundamental to the concept of basic human rights that its name can now be used to define the many declarations that came after it. When describing exceptional accomplishments like these―and the men and women behind them―we use the word “genius.” And while genius is difficult to define, we all recognize that elusive, special quality when we encounter it.

Marks of Genius pays tribute to some of the most remarkable testaments to genius throughout human history, from ancient texts on papyrus and the extraordinary medieval manuscript The Douce Apocalypse to the renowned children’s work The Wind in the Willows. Bringing together some of the rarest and most impressive treasures in the collections of the Bodleian Libraries, it tells the story of each work’s creation and its journey through time, offering insight into the breadth and depth of its influence as well as and its power to fascinate.
