英国小说家的自白-(中英双语简介)
Three-part series looking at the story of the British novel in the 20th century, told by those who know it best - the authors themselves.
'We are among the ruins', wrote DH Lawrence describing the decade after the First World War. The inter-war years generated self-doubt and ideological crisis as Britain contemplated the devastation of war and the demise of empire which would transform the British novel.
Some of the greatest, most innovative works of modern British fiction were written during this period and they have retained their power over the fate and fortune of the novel ever since.
本系列回顾了20世纪英国小说的风风雨雨,由对它们如数家珍的作家们亲身讲述。全片分别为三集分别为《废墟之上》、《焦虑时代》、《无所畏惧》。

【第三集:无所畏惧】
最后探索了70至80年代——这段时期诚如安吉拉·卡特所示,鉴于当时的风俗观
念无时不刻不被质疑着,确是“没有什么是神圣的”。由于英国小说猛然成了众
人瞩目的焦点,小说家们无疑站在了一场新革命的最前线。作为挑衅的使者们,
他们改变了文学思潮,根深蒂固。
个人点评:
这集将文学和政治紧密地联系在一起。因为作家都没怎么听说过,作品也完全没
读过,所以看得时候觉得无聊和乏味。最后在结尾的时候,伟大的BBC再次站在道
德制高点上向观众科普了柏林墙的倒塌,视频资料用的还是《德国艺术》那部纪
录片里的那几个镜头;同时正如它在《德国艺术》记录片里一样,那个纪录片谈
德国政治比德国艺术都多,这集的纪录片也是,一个讲英国作家的片子也能扯上
德国政治,这是怎样的一种国际主义咸吃萝卜淡操心的精神啊!

【Part 3: Nothing Sacred '1970-1990'】无所畏惧
The third and final part explores the 70s and 80s - a period in
which, as Angela Carter put it, there was 'nothing sacred' as the mores
of the time were incessantly called into question. Novelists were at
the forefront of a new revolution as British fiction was suddenly
thrust into the limelight. Acting as agents of provocation, these

【Part 2: The Age of Anxiety '1945-1969'】焦虑时代
The end of WW2 saw the beginning of the atomic age - what WH Auden coined the Age of Anxiety had begun. The holocaust and the nuclear cloud dominated the sensibility of the period and as political tensions worsened, the mood of anxiety, horror and fear of possible armageddon intensified. A new generation of novelists were on hand to confront and articulate this age.

【第一集:废墟之上】
随着英国盘算到了战争的毁灭性,以及帝国的衰亡,人们在战间期萌发出了自我怀疑与意识形态危机,这使英国小说界发生了变革。在此期间,一些最为伟大与创新的英国现代小说作品横空出世,它们从此主宰了小说界的命运与财富,永垂不朽。
个人点评:非常赞的第1集!不仅能看到上个世纪许多英国作家珍贵的视频资料,还能听到他们亲口阐释自己的创作思路和感想。这集开篇介绍了以弗吉尼亚伍尔夫为代表的布鲁姆斯伯里文化圈;这集快结束的时候不仅提到了德国第三帝国时期的反犹情况,还提到了Aldous Huxley(奥尔德斯•赫胥黎)以及他的代表作“Brave New World”(《美丽新世界》),同时一并介绍了同样是反乌托邦代表作的George Orwell(乔治•奥威尔)的代表作《1984》。

【Part 1: Among the Ruins '1919-1939'】废墟之上
The interwar years generated self-doubt and ideological crisis as Britain contemplated the devastation of war and the demise of empire which would transform the British novel. Some of the greatest, most innovative works of modern British fiction were written during this period and they have retained their power over the fate and fortune of the novel ever since.
