Five approaches to literary study.

 

2. in relation to the author

 

  --biographic study  a) the author's life  b) the work as documents  c)the author's life -better understand

 

his/writings  a)了解作者的生平,   b)把他的作者當成他一生的資料文獻  C)可以更了解他的一生

 

詩裡說的我不一定都是指作者自己

 

3.  in relation to its readers

 

   ---how a literary work affect us

 

  -----why we feel the way we do

 

   --- what there is in the work that springs up our feelings

 

 

4. in relation to other literature

 

  --- written at the same time

 

  --- of the same genre

 

   a)know  about literature

 

   b) know of literature

 

5- as an entity in itself  就看作品本身.

 

    就這五種理論看起來好像跟我們原本閱讀的方式不一樣, 但是這就是一種訓練.

 

 

P21.第三行

每種研讀方式都有它的好處, 但初學者最好從第五種方法開始.才不會覺得太難.

 

本文的分析(textual analysis), 初學者可以做. 但是批評就要有受過訓練

 

The reason for studying literature in a college is that such study can help us read more perceptively, and so increase our understanding and enjoyment of what we read. One of the most important ways in which it can hekp is to acquaint us with the basics of literary technique.

 

perceptively. 敏稅的.有洞察力的

 

       If you describe a person or their remarks or thoughts as perceptive, you think that they are good at noticing or realizing things, especially things that are not obvious.
