Jonathan D. Spence was born in Surrey, England, in 1936. He was educated at Winchester College and at Cambridge University and received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1965. He is George Burton Adams Professor of HIstory at Yale, where he is also chairman of the Council on East Asian Studies and director of the Division of the Humanities.
Award-winning author Jonathan D. Spence paints a vivid picture of an obscure place and time: provincial China in the seventeenth century. Life in the northeastern county of T'an-ch'eng emerges here as an endless cycle of floods, plagues, crop failures, banditry, and heavy taxation. Against this turbulent background a tenacious tax collector, an irascible farmer, and an unhappy wife act out a poignant drama at whose climax the wife, having run away from her husband, returns to him, only to die at his hands. Magnificently evoking the China of long ago, The Death of Woman Wang also deepens our understanding of the China we know today.
美国著名历史学家史景迁在其代表作《王氏之死》(The Death of Woman Wang)中描绘了中国清代初期山东郯城的社会现状,既有乡村属性又有地方特色,生动地再现了当时民众的生活风貌。创新之处主要体现于两个方面:其一,由1673年冯可参主编的《郯城县志》,郯城知县黄六鸿的回忆...
评分王氏、董小宛及官人袁小修 1、写这样的书他一定会感到创造的喜悦 两天看完了史景迁《王氏之死》。此书写作资源,是一本县志,一个退休官员的笔记和蒲松龄的小说。王氏在第五章出现,也在第五章死去。第六章"审判"只是一个尾声了。王氏之死的个案和郯城的苦难是观察十七世纪...
评分中国式的历史大多是对朝代变换,风云人物的记录,尽管有一些野史,但毕竟被打上在野的标签,不被我们关注。但在写法上,仍然给人一种非常遥远缥缈的虚空感,看这些文字,我的脑海里通常展现一帮穿着古装,说着之乎者也的文言,这是我从中式历史中感受到的。 而史景迁找到一种方...
评分X发现宁夏中卫有黄河。那里的黄河还是清流,静静躲在贺兰山的余脉影子里头,迤俪向东北而去。从她的讲述看,我相信中卫的黄河与上游其它地方并无二致。 X从行李包里倒出一小包石头来,大如鸡蛋,小似蚕豆,圆圆的腰身,与雨花石光彩的外表不同,它的面容是灰朴朴的。X...
评分如果有人有兴趣,可以做一项研究:一个作家或学者某本著作大获成功后,紧接着的下一本著作与前者的关系。多少内在元素沿用,多少得意之处发扬光大,其中又有多少是自觉行为,多少是因别人的赞美而于不自觉中兴奋地重复。 我是读《 王氏之死 》时想到以上问题的。作者史景迁原...
读之令人唏嘘不已
评分本科的时候囫囵读过。那时还是个沉浸于实验的理科生,每天的烦恼无外乎“又沾了一身大白鼠的血腥气,楼猫甜橙怕是又不要理我了”。读来全做娱乐。这一次读,从“They would have been cold, for the mean temperature in Shantung during January was in the twenties, and the houses of the poor were frail...”便开始鼻子发酸。Different people have different standards to measure what is a good historian. To me, this is. 对人类跨越时代的同理心。
评分"Whether judged as fiction or as historical reconstruction, [this] is a masterpiece of style and narration." (Harold Bloom) 我觉得这个评论很有意思
评分可怜的王氏。可惜了,不喜欢这种写作风格
评分#Insomnia is a bitch# in the world it is winter, but it is warm here.看了英文版又看了中文版,感觉这本书好欢乐。
