★英国著名小说家、散文家和批评家E.M.福斯特唯一的文学批评著作
★慧眼独具、洞见迭出,同时又轻松幽默、如话家常
★被公认为二十世纪极为重要的小说美学的经典名著 《小说面面观》是E·M·福斯特唯一的文学批评专著,原是作者一九二七年应母校剑桥大学“克拉克讲座”之请所作的系列演讲,系统并深入地讲解和论述了长篇小说这个文学门类的取材、内容与艺术形式等诸方面的问题。作者将小说的艺术分为故事、人物、情节、幻想、预言、模式与节奏等七个方面,由浅入深、由易入难地进行讲解和分析,以自己小说大师的切身创作体验去体贴和关照小说史上的众多名家与名著,慧眼独具、洞见迭出,同时又轻松幽默、如话家常。
福斯特在这组系列演讲中谈到小说与现实的关系,提出小说既大于现实又小于现实的观点;提出“扁平人物”和“圆形人物”的著名观点,成为后世的评论家所经常采用的术语;提出“小说家的职能就是从其根源上揭示隐匿的生活”的著名观点,对于叙述角度以及艺术表现形式如模式与节奏的探讨尤其深具开创之功与启发意义。《小说面面观》至今仍被公认为二十世纪最重要的小说美学的经典名著。 E•M•福斯特(Edward Morgan Forster,1879—1970)

About the author

E.M. Forster

695 books4,265 followers
Edward Morgan Forster, generally published as E.M. Forster, was an English novelist, essayist, and short story writer. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. His humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: "Only connect".

He had five novels published in his lifetime, achieving his greatest success with A Passage to India (1924) which takes as its subject the relationship between East and West, seen through the lens of India in the later days of the British Raj.

Forster's views as a secular humanist are at the heart of his work, which often depicts the pursuit of personal connections in spite of the restrictions of contemporary society. He is noted for his use of symbolism as a technique in his novels, and he has been criticised for his attachment to mysticism. His other works include Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room with a View (1908) and Maurice (1971), his posthumously published novel which tells of the coming of age of an explicitly gay male character.
