商品描述

This book seeks to explain how the literary commentary of the Lives of the Poets speaks to us today because of its ethical goals. Edward Tomarken elucidates this element of Johnson's literary criticism by using Ralph Cohen's genre method, the topic of Chapter One, "Why Genre". Chapters two to five address the most prevalent genres of the Lives: tragedy, metaphysical poetry, the epic, the pastoral elegy, and the mock epic. Chapter six considers the rise of literary criticism as a genre. Chapter Seven demonstrates how ethical genre criticism relates literature to life. And the final chapter explains why, although Johnson considers 'moral' and 'ethical' as nearly interchangeable terms, Tomarken prefers 'ethical' because it relates genre criticism to present problems in literary and non-literary worlds.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書旨在解釋《詩人傳》的文學評論如何因其倫理目標而與我們當今的生活息息相關。Edward Tomarken 透過 Ralph Cohen 的類型方法來闡明這一點，這也是第一章的主題「為什麼是類型」。第二至第五章探討《詩人傳》中最常見的類型：悲劇、形而上詩、史詩、田園哀歌和模擬史詩。第六章考慮文學批評作為一種類型的興起。第七章展示倫理類型批評如何將文學與生活聯繫起來。最後一章解釋了為什麼儘管 Johnson 將「道德」和「倫理」視為幾乎可以互換的術語，Tomarken 更偏好「倫理」，因為它將類型批評與當前文學和非文學世界中的問題聯繫起來。
