英国18世纪下半叶文坛领袖约翰生的《塞维奇传》从出版至今,批评界对其性质的定位经历了从他传到自传又回到他传的巨变;约翰生对传主塞维奇的描述有着从真实到虚构又回到近于真实的接受过程。虽然批评界对于这部作品有着多层面的批评和阐释,但有一点是共同的,即它是一部具有划时代意义的伟大作品。 From the publication to the present of the Biography of the Sevich, which was the literary leader of the British during the second half of the 18th century, the criticism circles have undergone tremendous changes from his transmission to biography and back to his transmission. Odd description has to return from the real to the fictional and near-true acceptance process. Although critics have multiple levels of criticism and interpretation of this work, one thing is common: that is, it is a great work of epoch-making significance.
