ta (1832) by John Richardson, while proposing that Canadian landscape writing and exploration literature had to use ‘new’ means of writing in contrast to the European variants. Omhovère further uproots discourse from its colonial roots by explicating that conventional landscape writing has been subverted by contemporary Canadian writers such as Michael Ondaatje, Robert Kroetsch, or Aritha van Herk by way of an interrogation of geography. A number of essays in this volume address the relevance of landscape writing as “emptying, erasing, denying visibility” (29). Isabelle Alfandary’s most interesting yet erratic essay, “Page-Landscapes in the Theatre of Gertrude Stein” (257–270), examines Stein’s “landscape” plays (257). Generally speaking, Stein emphasizes language and word play over dramatic conventions such as plot, character, and scenery. Alfandary argues that “for Stein, landscape is an animated space in motion perpetual but imperceptible” (267) and that “Stein conceives of landscape as a way to tame alterity, a kind of economic process aiming to bring down libidinal excitement to a tolerable level” (269). Alfandary explores Stein’s unique playwriting aesthetic based in avant-garde drama, photography, and cinema. Richard Pedot’s brilliant essay on Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness interrogates how place becomes placeless and therefore “unmappable” as “the African landscape in Conrad’s novel emerges as a site both of inscription and de-territorialisation” (271). This volume showcases the quintessential notion that landscape is neither realistic nor imaginary. Among other essays that focus on visual arts, Marjorie Vanbaelinghem’s essay on “Landscape as Reflection in British Contemporary Art” (173– 192) concentrates on painters such as Maurice Cockrill, Michael Andrews or Peter Doig. The contribution by David Jasper analyses English writer Jim Crace’s fifth novel Quarantine which retells the Biblical story of Christ’s forty days in the desert by drawing on the theological and biblical images of a desert. In short, the volume unravels a literary-visual richness of landscape texts and images, without having to reproduce the images themselves. The essays in this volume offer thoughtful and nuanced reflections of landscape and make a compelling case for why we must continue to explore literary and visual landscape representations from the 17th century to the present day. By focusing on the theme of landscape, this volume displays the potential of literature and the visual arts to soften the boundary between culture and nature and to promote awareness and contrasting views of particular historical and geopolitical issues pertaining to landscape perceptions.
约翰·理查森(John Richardson)于1832年提出，与欧洲的变体相比，加拿大的风景写作和探索文学必须使用“新”的写作方式。omhov进一步将话语从其殖民根源中连根拔起，通过解释传统的景观写作已经被当代加拿大作家(如Michael Ondaatje, Robert Kroetsch或Aritha van Herk)通过对地理的质疑而颠覆。本卷中的许多文章将风景写作的相关性视为“清空、抹去、否认可见性”(29)。伊莎贝尔·阿尔凡达里最有趣但又古怪的文章《格特鲁德·斯坦因剧院的风景》(257 - 270)考察了斯坦因的“风景”戏剧(257)。一般来说，斯坦强调语言和文字游戏，而不是情节、人物和场景等戏剧惯例。Alfandary认为“对于斯坦因来说，景观是一个永恒但难以察觉的动态动态空间”(267)，并且“斯坦因认为景观是一种驯服另类的方式，一种旨在将力比多兴奋降低到可容忍水平的经济过程”(269)。《阿尔法凡达》探索了斯坦独特的基于前卫戏剧、摄影和电影的剧本美学。理查德·佩多特(Richard Pedot)关于约瑟夫·康拉德(Joseph Conrad)的《黑暗之心》(Heart of Darkness)的精彩文章质疑，“康拉德小说中的非洲景观既是铭文的场所，也是去地域化的场所”，地方是如何变得无所不在，从而“无法绘制”的(271)。这本书展示了景观既不现实也不想象的典型概念。在其他关注视觉艺术的文章中，Marjorie Vanbaelinghem的文章“风景在英国当代艺术中的反映”(173 - 192)集中在莫里斯·考克里尔、迈克尔·安德鲁斯或彼得·多伊格等画家身上。大卫·贾斯珀的贡献分析了英国作家吉姆·克雷斯的第五部小说《隔离》，这部小说通过描绘神学和圣经中沙漠的形象，重新讲述了圣经中基督在沙漠中的四十天的故事。简而言之，这本书揭示了景观文本和图像的文学视觉丰富性，而不必再现图像本身。本卷中的文章提供了对景观的深思熟虑和细致入微的反思，并提出了一个令人信服的理由，说明为什么我们必须继续探索从17世纪到现在的文学和视觉景观表现。通过关注景观主题，本卷展示了文学和视觉艺术的潜力，以软化文化与自然之间的界限，并促进对与景观感知有关的特定历史和地缘政治问题的认识和对比观点。

In recent decades, corpus linguistics has become one of the mainstream paradigms in the study of languages, in particular in the study of English. All of the authors of the book under review here have played a crucial part in this development, as compilers and also as early researchers of corpora of Present-Day English (Leech: LOB; Leech/Smith: Lancaster 1931 Corpus; BLOB-1931; Mair/Hundt: F-LOB and Frown). Claiming to have been “more intimately engaged with these corpora than any other research group” (xix), the authors highlight the “affection” they feel for corpora (xx). And indeed, the book is a token of their affection for corpus linguistics and for the corpora analyzed. The volume aims at giving an empirically-based account of how the English language has been changing recently, i.e. in the time-span from 1961 to 1991/2. This time-span is determined by the corpora used, namely the four corpora of the wellknown “Brown quartet” or “Brown family”, i.e. Brown (American English) and LOB (British English) for 1961 and Frown (American English) and F-LOB (British English) for 1991/2 (descriptions of the corpora are found in Chapter 2.2 and in Appendix II). The strength of this group of corpora lies in their comparability: they are of virtually the same size and the same selection of texts and genres (represented by 500 matching text samples of c. 2,000 words of written British or American English). All of these corpora have – individually or comparatively – been much used in recent years, but the authors nonetheless claim that the studies collected in this book present a new approach, namely a new kind of corpus-based historical research labelled “comparative corpus linguistics” or “short-term diachronic comparable corpus linguistics” (24; for a discussion of the methodology, see also Chapter 2, 24–50). The comparisons themselves are documented in many statistical tables and charts, exhaustively comparing frequencies across time, varieties and genres (fortunately, the authors decided to move many of the more complex tables and diagrams to Appendix III). Yet, even if the studies can generally be said to follow a more “rigorous methodology” than some comparable studies, presenting “comparative corpus linguistics” as a new approach here seems somewhat awkward, given that the 1991/2 corpora F-LOB and Frown were deliberately designed by the Freiburg team (among them Mair and Hundt) for allowing comparison with the earlier LOB and Brown corpora. As its subtitle specifies, the book focuses on changes in grammar (cf. the broader design of Mair 2006, which is also based on a systematic evaluation of virtually the same corpora, but also discusses changes in the lexicon etc.). After the two introductory chapters outlining the methodology and introducing the corpora, the main parts of the book – seven chapters – concentrate on changes in the verb phrase: the subjunctive (in particular the were-subjunctive and the revival of the “mandative subjunctive”; Chapter

There have been demands in recent years that literature and its analysis should play a more significant role than to date in the emerging transdisciplinary field of Poverty Studies. Poverty re-emerged as a theme on the British book market in the course of the 1990s. This reappearance, especially in the form of fictional and factual narratives, concurred with increased societal attention to issues of extensive social inequality and class polarisation, economic deprivation, homelessness and precarious work. The essay proposes an approach that tries to do justice to the textual and extra-textual factors that configure the image of poverty in the literary field. It then discusses a selection of poverty narratives from three sectors of the contemporary UK book market: the autobiographical ‘misery memoir’ (Peter Roche, Unloved), ‘popular’ fiction (by Ian Rankin and Neil Gaiman) and ‘literary’ fiction (Jon McGregor, Even the Dogs). 1. THE NEW PRESENCE OF POVERTY IN LITERATURE AND LITERARY STUDIES Poverty, “the lack of basic capabilities to live in dignity”, re-emerged as a theme on the British book market in the course of the 1990s.

The essay examines selected fictional representations of stammering in the context of trauma studies. The literature on stammering and the reports of sufferers suggest that the experiences connected with speech impediments must be regarded as traumatic. The therapeutic strategies to overcome trauma are usually concerned with the verbalization of the traumatic experience; psychoanalysts, narrative psychologists, and literary trauma studies highlight the need to exorcize the mental wounds with words. Stammering, however, is identified here as a special case, as a ‘perpetuated trauma’. The stammerer’s ability to give expression to his anxieties is limited, and so the wound is constantly reopened. Fiction can therefore be a means to couch the traumata connected with stammering in words. The writers discussed here, some of them suffering from a stammer, usually place the impediment in the context of power relations – language appears as a means of exerting power over others. Beyond that, the linguistic awareness triggered by speech impediments reveals the general inadequacy of language when it comes to organizing human experience. In this way, the individual traumata that attach themselves to stammering are turned into a chiffre for the general inability of language to structure the lives of human beings in a meaningful way.

Der junge rumänische Anglist und Kodikologe Adrian Papahagi hat einen Sammelband mit sechs überarbeiteten Aufsätzen zur Consolatio Philosophiae des Boethius vorgelegt, erschienen zwischen 2005 und 2009 in verschiedenen Zeitschriften (Nachweise S. 12); ihr Gegenstand ist “a philological study of this book’s reception in the ninth and tenth centuries” (Vorwort, S. 11). Der sorgfältig gestaltete Band in Taschenbuchformat bringt wertvolle Erkenntnisse, die auf detaillierten philologischen und kodikologischen Studien beruhen, für den Leser vielfach durch die beigegebenen Abbildungen und die zehn Tafeln mit Proben aus Handschriften am Ende des Buches nachvollziehbar gemacht. Der erste Aufsatz, “The Transmission of the Consolatio Philosophiae in the Carolingian Age” (15–36), ist der frühen Rezeptionsgeschichte des Boethius gewidmet. Der Autor stellt die bis in jüngste Publikationen vertretene Theorie in Frage, Alkuin sei der Vermittler von Boethius in die karolingische Gelehrtenwelt und insbesondere auf die britischen Inseln gewesen, und postuliert stattdessen Fleury als Ausgangspunkt für die Verbreitung auch der Consolatio. Wichtige Zeugen in der Argumentationskette bezüglich der Datierung der altenglischen Boethius-Übersetzung sind der vom hl. Dunstan glossierte Vaticanus latinus 3363, der seine Bibliotheksheimat aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach in Fleury hatte, und die Handschrift B.L. Cotton Vespasian D. XIV (vgl. bes. S. 22 mit Anm. 30–31 und S. 24ff.). Kapitel 2, “Hic magis philosophice quam catholice loquitur: The Reception of Boethian Platonism in the Carolingian Age” (37–72), setzt sich mit fatum und providentia (Buch 4 Prosa 6; vgl. auch Kap. 4) und den möglichen Quellen auseinander.

The manuscript reading of line 40 of the Vercelli Book’s Homiletic Fragment I, which lacks alliteration by the standards of classical Old English verse, has not yet been convincingly explained. The possibility of an intended alliteration of vowel with antevocalic h (eallunga : hyht) should be considered only in default of a plausible conjecture that would preserve the distinction between these sounds evident elsewhere in the poem. Such a conjecture is offered by the supposition that the adverb holunga ‘in vain’, attested exclusively in texts of probable Anglian origin or colouring, was not recognised by a southern copyist, who replaced it with eallunga. Southern copies of Anglian texts provide evidence of scribal unfamiliarity with holunga elsewhere, and, in one case, of just this substitution. The sense of lines 40–42 of Homiletic Fragment I is also ameliorated by this conjecture, since it permits an understanding of hyht ‘hope, joy’ consonant with its use elsewhere in Old English. 1. THE QUESTION OF ALLITERATION IN LINE 40 The conclusion of Homiletic Fragment I, an Old English poem about the deceitfulness of men preserved in acephalous condition in the Vercelli Book, is preceded by a passage of twelve lines describing the fickleness of the world, where enmity abounds, but charity is rare (31–42). This passage ends with a sentence that plainly states the moral deduced by the poet from his preceding observations, as the introductory Forþan (‘therefore’) shows: Forþan eallunga hyht geceoseð, woruld wynsume, se ðe wis ne bið, snottor, searocræftig sawle rædes. (40–42) [Therefore he entirely chooses joy, the pleasant world, who is not wise, prudent and ingeniously discerning of what is good for the soul.] DOI 10.1515/ang-2012-0043 1 Homiletic Fragment I was edited by George Philip Krapp in The Vercelli Book, The Anglo-Saxon Poetic Records 2 (New York: Columbia UP, 1932) 59–60. For a recent and detailed study of the poem, see Jonathan T. Randle, “The ‘Homiletics’ of the Vercelli Book Poems: The Case of Homiletic Fragment I”, New Readings in the Vercelli Book, ed. Samantha Zacher & Andy Orchard (Toronto: U of Toronto P, 2009) 185–224. 2 This is a provisional translation of the passage; see the end of this article for a text and translation revised according to the conclusions reached here. The absence of alliteration in line 40 is conspicuous, yet no convincing explanation of it has been offered. Holthausen twice proposed to restore alliteration by the emendation of hyht to a word beginning with a vowel, suggesting first are (‘honour, benefit, possessions’), and then est (‘favour, grace’). Whether adequate sense is procured for lines 40–42 by either of these conjectures is dubious; but it is at least arguable that neither is worse than the manuscript reading with hyht. It is more to the point that neither word is likely to have been corrupted into hyht (although est is somewhat less improbable graphically than are): there is nothing to recommend eithe
《维切利书》的《讲道片段1》的第40行，根据古典古英语诗歌的标准，没有头韵，至今还没有令人信服的解释。元音与前音h (eallunga: hyht)的有意头韵的可能性，只有在缺乏合理的推测的情况下才应该考虑，这种推测将保留诗中其他地方明显的这些声音之间的区别。这种猜想是由这样一种假设提出的，即副词holunga“徒劳的”，只在可能是盎格鲁语起源或涂色的文本中被证明，没有被南方的抄写员认可，他用eallunga代替了它。盎格鲁文本的南方副本提供了抄写员不熟悉其他地方的holunga的证据，并且，在一个案例中，正是这种替代。《讲道篇》第1篇第40-42行也因这一猜想而有所改善，因为它允许对hyht(希望、喜悦)的理解与其在古英语中其他地方的用法一致。第40行头韵的问题《讲道片段1》的结尾是一首古英语诗，描述了维切利书中保存的头脑不清醒的人的欺骗行为，在这首诗之前有一段十二行诗，描述了世界的多变，充满了敌意，但慈善却很少(31-42)。这篇文章以一句话结束，这句话清楚地说明了诗人从他之前的观察中推断出的道德，正如引言Forþan(“因此”)所示:Forþan eallunga hyht geeceoseð， world wynsume, se ðe wis ne bið， snortor, searker æftig sawle rædes。[40-42]所以那不聪明，不通达，不明察何为善的，就全然选择喜乐，选择美好的世界。1说教片段1由乔治·菲利普·克拉普在维切利书中编辑，盎格鲁-撒克逊诗歌记录2(纽约:哥伦比亚大学，1932)59-60。最近对这首诗的详细研究，见乔纳森·t·兰德尔，“维切利书诗的“说教”:讲道片段I的案例”，维切利书中的新读物，萨曼莎·扎克和安迪·奥查德编辑(多伦多:多伦多大学，2009)185-224。这是这段话的临时翻译;根据本文得出的结论修改的文本和翻译见本文末尾。第40行没有头韵很明显，但没有令人信服的解释。Holthausen两次建议通过将hyht修改为以元音开头的单词来恢复头韵，建议首先是are(“荣誉，利益，财产”)，然后是est(“恩惠，恩典”)。这两种猜想中的任何一种是否对第40-42行有足够的理解是值得怀疑的;但至少有争议的是，两者都不如与海特一起读手稿。更重要的是，这两个词都不太可能变成hyht(尽管在图形上est比are更不可能):除了恢复头韵之外，没有什么特别值得推荐的阅读方式。最近，乔纳森·t·兰德尔(Jonathan T. Randle)对第40行进行了研究，他提到没有头韵的一个可能的解释是，在eallunga(“完全”)之后丢失了副词a(“总是”)，这是一个很容易犯的复制错误。然而，由于这种解读要求b-verse是一种未知类型的hyht geeoseð，一种“重”或“三重音”的诗(有三个要素能够构成主重音)，兰德尔倾向于不通过引入另一种韵律来消除一种韵律的不规则性，并建议缺乏头韵是原创的，诗人有时愿意偏离古典古英语诗歌的头韵标准。《训诫片段1》的作者似乎确实承认，在第12行中出现了smeor æ e和spræce的头韵，这与通常的做法相反，sp只与sp头韵。然而，尽管这种对经典头韵诗歌规范的偏离可能会引起对诗人普遍遵守其规范的怀疑，但这并不一定意味着明显的3 Ferdinand Holthausen， " Zur Textkritik altenglischer Dichtungen "，Beiträge zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache und literature 16 (1892): 549-52, at 551;《人类的命运》，英国出版社31(1920):25-32页，第28页。这里提供的推测词的定义包含在可能更相关的古英语词典中:A到G在线，Angus Cameron, Ashley Crandell Amos, Antonette diPaolo Healey等人编辑(多伦多:古英语词典项目，2007).vv。ār1(参见特别意义A, B.4, B.5和C)和ēst(意义1)。Krapp(1932, 129)注意到Holthausen的第二个猜想，除了“But see l. 43, note”之外，什么也没说，然而，在那里，他公正地为编辑在Uton中添加bot to þam beteran, nu we [bot] cunnon(“这条线可以不头韵而站立，见1)辩护。 第40行，除了nu we cunnon似乎是秃的和不完整的意思”)，这个判断使得第43行的手稿阅读没有证据价值，就第40行明显缺乏头韵而言。4兰德尔，2009,213。关于“沉重”的诗句，见A.J.布利斯，《贝奥武夫的韵律》(牛津:布莱克威尔，1958)69-75;B.R.哈奇森(他使用了“三压力”一词)，《古英语诗歌韵律》(剑桥:布鲁尔出版社，1995)164-68,257-69。读一首诗，你会得到一段可接受的诗句(参见Bliss, 74 - 5;Hutcheson, 257, type 3e1)，但假设一个原始的切分动词形式是不太可能的;不分音的cymeð (23b)， weaxeð (32a)， drefeð (33a)和getryweð (34b)是必要的拍子。罗伯特·盖兹208
