又一本想看的书:The New Oxford Book of Literary Anecdotes

阅读更多
专门写很多人的八卦的书
引用

 正如约翰·格罗斯(John Gross)在《新牛津文学逸事集》(2006年)的《序言》开篇所言:八卦是一种深深植根于人类心底的冲动。除了饭桌边沙龙里的口耳相传之外,英语文学已经有了三百多年的逸事出版传统。随着传记、回忆录、日记、书信、媒体报道的积累,人类对于八卦的渴望有增无减。
  
  1975年出版的詹姆斯·萨瑟兰编纂的《牛津文学逸事集》(Oxford Book of Literary Anecdotes)写到迪伦·托马斯(1914—1953)为止,早已满足不了当代读者的胃口,于是约翰·格罗斯及时填补空白,编出了一本《新牛津文学逸事集》,从乔叟一直八卦到哈里·波特之母J. K.罗琳,而且两书的重复之处不超过十分之一。约翰·格罗斯曾在《泰晤士报文学副刊》当了七年编辑,又在《纽约时报》工作了五年,写过《文人的兴衰》(The Rise and Fall of the Man of Letters)、《夏洛克:一代传奇及其遗产》(Shylock: A Legend and Its Legacy),编有《牛津格言集》、《牛津散文集》、《牛津喜剧诗集》以及《新牛津英语诗》,2002年还出版了文集《莎士比亚之后》。如此渊博又不乏好奇心和幽默感的人,想来不会让文人八卦爱好者失望。
