英国文学选读要点Chapter 4(27--31)
The Victorian Period(1836-1901)维多利亚时期
(III)Alfred Tennyson阿尔弗雷德.丁尼生
27. He was appointed the Poet Laureate.丁尼生被授予“桂冠诗人”的荣誉。
28. Tennyson’s poetic career is also marked out by Idylls of the King (the Celtic legends of King Arthur).丁尼生另一部代表作是《国王诗歌集》,故事源于凯尔特民族关于亚瑟王与他的圆桌骑士的传说。
29. For one thing,the moral standards and sentiments reflected in the poem belong to the Victorians rather than to the medieval royal people. For the other,the story of the rise and fall of King Arthur is, in fact, meant to represent a cyclic history of western civilization.其一是因为诗中道德标准及情感都属于维多利亚并非中世纪的贵族;其二是因为故事中亚瑟王的崛起与衰败其实就是西方文明周而复始的历史写照。(《国王诗集》并不是古代传奇简单的翻版,而是对古典神话的现代诠释。)
