他山的石头记：宇文所安自选集

by Stephen Owen, 宇文所安, 田晓菲 (Translator)

《他山的石头记》是宇文所安知名度最高的作品之一，一直以来评价都很高，这不仅有赖于译者优质细腻的文笔，也在于其本身所具有的学术价值。

书中的文章可分成两类：一类是对具体文本、名篇的细读阐释——《诗经》、《左传》、司马迁、刘勰、李商隐、《桃花扇》等等——这其中蕴含了作者历史主义的解读理路。另一类则是宏观的思考，对文学史、文学史写作的重新考量，在《瓠落的文学史》等文章中，他对中国文学史的传统活力进行了整体思索，突破性地探讨着中国文学、文化传统在全球主义背景中的价值。

身为“他山之石”，宇文所安用世界性的文化视域、丰富的历史想象力、新颖夺目的观点，冲击着我们惯有的文学史认知。

About the author

Stephen Owen is a sinologist specializing in premodern literature, lyric poetry, and comparative poetics.

Owen has written or edited dozens of books, articles, and anthologies in the field of Chinese literature, especially Chinese poetry, including An Anthology of Chinese Literature: Beginnings to 1911 (Norton, 1996); The Making of Early Chinese Classical Poetry (Harvard Asia Center, 2006); and The Late Tang: Chinese Poetry of the Mid-Ninth Century (827-860) (Harvard Asia Center, 2006). Owen has completed the translation of the complete poetry of Du Fu, which was published as the inaugural volumes of the Library of Chinese Humanities series, featuring Chinese literature in translation. Owen earned a B.A. (1968) and a Ph.D. (1972) in Chinese Language from Yale University. He taught there from 1972 to 1982, before coming to Harvard. In acknowledgment of his groundbreaking work that crosses the boundaries of multiple disciplines, Owen was awarded the James Bryant Conant University Professorship in 1997. He has been a Fulbright Scholar, held a Guggenheim Fellowship, and received a Mellon Foundation Distinguished Achievement Award (2006) among many other awards and honors.

提供的视角、观念和总结性质的观察很漂亮，以篇为单位分析作品的时候（例如谈壶中九华诗、桃花扇）也多精彩。但对字句的细读分析则问题不少——或许外国读者终究是不能代替本国读者的。最喜欢苏黄壶中九华诗那篇。文学史重写一篇，可谓大快人心
