• 导读
  • 这是沃尔特·司各特爵士写成的关于几个人物的哥特式小说。书中有古董商人,历史学家,考古学家还有一个收藏家。尽管他是一个同名的人物,他却并不是一个英雄,在他身边的人物都经历着重要的旅程或者改变。相反,司各特在书中为其它更精彩的人物和场景提供了一个中心人物,在此基础上他做了讽刺评论。此书以第三人称写成,内容涵盖了家庭秘密,隐藏的宝藏的故事还有一个神秘而又英俊的年轻男子的绝望的爱情,陷入黑暗的贵族,夜晚时分为毁掉的修道院进行的葬礼,此种故事不一而足。神秘和浪漫仍在司各特的小说中并重。

    The Antiquary (1816) is a novel by Sir Walter Scott about several characters including an antiquary,an amateur historian, archaeologist and collector of items of dubious antiquity. The book is written in the third person so even the narrative does not remain with the antiquary.This is Scott's gothic novel, redolent with family secrets, stories of hidden treasure and hopeless love, with a mysterious, handsome, young man, benighted aristocracy and a night-time funeral procession to a ruined abbey, no less. But the romance and mystery is counterpoised by some of Scott's more down-to-earth characters, and grittily unromantic events.
