Abstract

Abstract:

Most modern biographies of Dickens refer to his first major assignment for the Morning Chronicle: a trip to Edinburgh to report on a Festival in honor of Lord Grey. The visit has become celebrated by the inclusion, in the resulting newspaper copy, of a 238-word passage which, it has been remarked, "would not have been out of place in one of Boz's Monthly tales" (Slater 43). The present paper considers the fiercely bipartisan political atmosphere at the time, its expression in the contemporary press, and the impact on it of the famous passage. It is suggested that a jokey contemporary comment on the passage represents the earliest recovered quasi-personification of Dickens's authorial presence.

来自海上宝石的绅士重温 1834 年爱丁堡晚宴
摘要:大多数现代狄更斯传记都提到了他为《纪事晨报》所做的第一项重要工作:前往爱丁堡报道纪念格雷勋爵的节日。在这次访问中,报纸上刊登了一段 238 个单词的文字,有人评论说,这段文字 "放在波兹的《每月故事》中也不为过"(斯莱特,43 页)。本文探讨了当时激烈的两党政治气氛、其在当代报刊中的表现形式以及这段著名文字对其产生的影响。本文认为,当代人对这段话的戏谑评论代表了狄更斯作家形象最早的准人格化。
