书籍简介

路易斯·麦克尼斯在1963年去世，在他逝世后的几十年后，路易斯·麦克尼斯作为一个诗人的身份地位却逐渐出名，如今在爱尔兰、英国和其他国家有好几代读者，对他们来说，他是20世纪重要的诗人之一，他的作品也越来越受到学术作家和学生的关注。

对于读者和评论家来说，很少有完整收录编辑麦克尼斯诗歌的书籍。本书是由彼得·麦克唐纳重新编辑的第二本遗作集，初次尝试按照与1935年至1963年的顺序排序麦克尼斯的诗歌选集，由费伯出版社出版，按年代划分多本出版，使我们更容易对照那个时代的诗歌。

此外，重新按创作时间编辑的麦克尼斯诗歌集也反映了这个版本是优秀的，特别是在后三本诗集中对形式的精彩回归--以及对抒情形式本身的独特类型的回归。新版中的诗歌文本是基于对所有印刷版本的比较，并根据诗人后来的想法进行修订。这导致了大量的修改。希望本版能比以前所有的诗集更准确、更全面地展现麦克尼斯的诗歌。

这本新的《路易斯·麦克尼斯诗选》还包括了附录中的《The Last Ditch》，是麦克尼斯于1940年在Cuala出版社出版的短诗集，以及和歌手赫德利·安德森为麦克尼斯的妻子所写的一首歌曲《The Revenant》，以及麦克尼早期那些从未被收集诗歌选集，包括他的处女作诗集《Blind Fireworks》。

In the decades since his death in 1963, Louis MacNeice's reputation as a poet (and, indeed, amongst poets) has grown steadily, and there are now several generations of readers in Ireland, Britain, and beyond, for whom he is one of the essential poets of the twentieth century. His work has also received increasing attention from academic writers and students. For both readers and critics, the nature of MacNeice's poetic work as a whole is a matter of importance, and the second posthumous Collected Poems, entirely re-edited by Peter McDonald, attempts, for the first time, to print MacNeice's poetry in groupings corresponding closely to the collections published by Faber between 1935 and 1963. This makes it easier to read the poet in the published forms in which he was read by his contemporaries.

In choosing to re-create the environments of MacNeice's individual volumes of poetry, moreover, this new Collected reflects the opinion that MacNeice works best in and through those separate volumes, particularly so in the brilliant return to form - and unique kinds of return on lyric form itself - of the last three collections. The texts of the poems in the new edition are based on a comparison of all printed versions, as revised in the light of the poet's later thoughts. This has resulted in a large number of changes. It is hoped that the present edition presents MacNeice's poetry more accurately, as well as more fully, than all previous collections.

The new Collected Poems also includes, as appendices, The Last Ditch - the short book of poems which MacNeice published with the Cuala Press in 1940 - and The Revenant, a cycle of songs written for MacNeice's wife, the singer Hedli Anderson, a selection of uncollected early poems, and from Blind Fireworks, MacNeice's first published book of verse.

作者简介

路易斯·麦克尼斯在大学教过书，后来在英国广播公司任职。早在三十年代，他就与奥顿齐名，并与奥顿、斯潘德、刘易斯合称为牛津四才子。二次大战后，麦克尼斯却又有了新的发展。

虽然很难把麦克尼斯划入什么现代诗歌流派，但他的诗却是充满了现代意识和感性，他的一大特点是理性与情感的交融。他的抒情诗在语言、形式、节奏上读起来都十分优美，但同时又能蕴含深刻的思想。

Louis MacNeice was born in Belfast in 1907 and educated at Marlborough and MertonCollege, Oxford. His first book of poems, Blind Fireworks, appeared in 1929, and he subsequently worked as a translator, literary critic, playwright, autobiographer, BBC producer and feature writer. The Burning Perch, his last volume of poems, appeared shortly before his death in 1963.
