书籍简介

从古至今诗歌的重要指南是语言变得特殊，这样它才会被记住和重视。这并非总是有效——几个世纪以来，无数诗歌被遗忘。这本《诗歌小史》讲述的是一些未被遗忘的诗歌。

约翰·凯里讲述了世界上伟大诗歌背后的故事，从现存古老的近4000年前的诗歌到如今仍在创作的诗歌。凯里探讨了那些塑造我们世界观的诗人——例如莎士比亚、惠特曼和叶芝——以及像西尔维娅·普拉斯、谢默斯·希尼和玛丽安·摩尔这样的近代诗人，他们开始探究诗歌的“伟大”之源。《诗歌小史》——激发好奇心的指南

A vital guide to poetry from ancient times to the present  Poetry is language made special, so that it will be remembered and valued. It does not always work – over the centuries countless thousands of poems have been forgotten. This Little History is about some that have not.

 John Carey tells the stories behind the world’s greatest poems, from the oldest surviving one written nearly 4,000 years ago to those being written today. Carey looks at poets whose works shape our view of the world – such as Shakespeare, Whitman and Yeats – and more recent poets like Sylvia Plath, Seamus Heaney, and Marianne Moore who have started to question what makes a poem ‘great’ in the first place. Little Histories – Inspiring Guides for Curious Minds
