摘要
摘要:"匆忙书写"(writing in haste)是十五世纪英语书信的常规结尾。这个句式确实反映了实际使用的识字速度。然而,它也是一个批评性用语,人们据此评价自己的书信,希望写得更好。这种愿望可能与文体有关,但 "匆忙"(in haste)和相关的结束语 "不再"(no more)也与信件的内容、范围和频率有关。这些短语参与了一个批评过程,既请现在的文学批评家慢慢阅读实用文本,又扩大了这种批评可能使用的标准。
Written in Haste: Practical Letters and Everyday Criticism in the Fifteenth Century
Abstract: The phrase written in haste is a conventional ending of English letters in the fifteenth century. The formula does reflect the speed of practical uses of literacy. It also, however, is a critical term by which people evaluate their letters against aspirations to write better. The aspiration might concern style, but in haste and the related closing phrase no more also concern the content, extent and frequency of letters. Such phrases engage in a process of criticism which both invites literary critics now to read practical texts slowly and expands the criteria that such criticism might use.
