【出版说明】
近年来,英语语言文学专业在呼吁人文化转型的同时,也重视研究型人才的培养,鼓励学生在大量阅读的基础上,展开学术探索。上海外语教育出版社从英国Bloomsbury出版社引进的“文学研习丛书”正是一套旨在引领读者从基础“学习”迈向深入“研究”的学术读物。
丛书突出学术,兼顾普及,精选文学、戏剧诗歌、小说、电影等热点主题,更贴合现代读者的阅读兴趣。作者们用简明晓畅的语言、丰富多样的实例,提供一系列方法指引,指导读者在熟谙作品的基础上,从学术的视角切入,在文学文艺领域展开进一步研究。丛书在内容编排上
也颇具苦心,有的在正文后附上Glossary(术语汇总),有的详细列出建议读者研读的Further Reading(延伸阅读),有的则在参考书目中特别用星号标出特别建议阅读的书目,使丛书兼具可读性和实用性。
希望丛书的出版,既能满足对文学文艺研究感兴趣的读者的阅读需求,也能为当下大学生的学术发展指引方向,提升其人文素养,培养其思辨精神。
