内容预告/ Highlights on the Lecture:
讲座会以城市的形成和城市的感知解释神秘的英国。为了求证伦敦生活的不同侧面和历时变化，主讲人会引用《高文爵士与绿衣骑士》的诗文看“新特洛伊”，又根据《英国列王史》中的记录来看在Lud 之后伦敦名字的变更。为了进一步求证，一系列文学作品将会被引用，包括《农夫皮尔斯》、《坎特伯特故事集》、《亚瑟王之死》、《仙后》、德莱顿的《伦敦重生》（“London Reborn”）, 十八世纪的一位无名诗人、威廉·布莱克、马修·阿诺德、 埃兹拉·庞德, 还有一位二十世纪的诗人，以此表现诗歌中伦敦生活的神秘、传奇和历史。
I will start off with the formational elements and perceptions of a city whereon the foundation myth of Britain comes. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight will be cited first. With the founding father of Britain, the New Troy, or the forerunner name of London is formed. In The History of Kings of Britain, after Lud, the city is renamed Kaerlud and later corrupted to become Kaerlundein, Lundres and later London. For illustration purposes, we shall cite texts from Piers Plowman, The Canterbury Tales, Le Morte Darthur, The Faerie Queene, Dryden’s “London Reborn,” Anonymous Poet of the eighteenth century, William Blake, Mathew Arnold, Ezra Pound, and a twentieth century poet to illuminate various aspects and developments of the London life. An attempt will be made to historicize the mythical, allegorical, historical and legendary stories of London at different times and to explicate how they come to pass to its present stage.
