商品描述
This book offers case studies from throughout literature to reveal cowardice as a more complex and interesting phenomenon than typically understood. Pushing beyond the straightforward treatment of cowardice in military contexts and others where it is subject to punishment or severe condemnation, Hillyer asks: how do cowards survive in a world generally hostile to them and why do they attract such wide vituperation? Following a lexical and literary overview of cowardice starting with the Oxford English Dictionary to provide a big picture, chapters provide deep dives into specific cowardly character representatives, including Shakespeare's Parolles (All's Well That Ends Well), English poet and politician Edmund Waller, and Joseph Conrad's Hirsch (Nostromo).
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了來自文學各個領域的案例研究，以揭示懦弱是一種比通常理解的更為複雜和有趣的現象。超越對於懦弱在軍事背景及其他受到懲罰或嚴厲譴責的情境中的簡單處理，Hillyer 提出了問題：懦弱者如何在一個普遍對他們敵意的世界中生存，並且為什麼他們會吸引如此廣泛的譴責？在對懦弱的詞彙和文學概述之後，從《牛津英語詞典》開始提供全貌，各章深入探討特定的懦弱角色代表，包括莎士比亞的 Parolles（《皆大歡喜》）、英國詩人及政治家 Edmund Waller，以及約瑟夫·康拉德的 Hirsch（《諾斯特羅莫》）。
