前言

　　Upon the publication of this collection of essays by Professor QianJiaoru over years of a variety of English teaching, translating andresearch experiences, I would like　to　express　my　heart-feltcongratulations to him in the form of this preface, which I have thepleasure of writing at his request. Honestly, when he first asked me if Icould do him this favor, I was a little hesitant because I had just arrivedat Shihezi University in Xinjiang as a visiting professor with new peopleto meet and new things to attend to. But after reading the first few essayshe sent me, I felt sure they were going to make a good collection worthyof strong recommendation not only to students of English language andliterature but to scholars in this field as well.　　I have known Professor Qian for some years. We were onetimecolleagues at UNESCO where I had a chance to work for a period oftime in the autumn of 2002. I had the pleasure of sharing the same officewith him and I benefited a great deal from his experience and expertisein translating and revising the things which were quite different fromthose I was more familiar with. Later in 2005, Professor Qian and I wereinvited by a university in Nanchang to give lectures. Through thesecontacts and later communications to exchange ideas on teaching,translation and research, I found in Professor Qian an unassuming personwith the qualities of a fine scholar.　　Before he joined UNESCO in 1993, Professor Qian was professor ofEnglish and doctoral supervisor at Nanjing University where he hadtaught for 30 years since his graduation from the same institution. In the1980s, after his return from his studies abroad first in Australia and thenin America.

章节摘录

　　Classes and Class Conflict　　as Seen in Shirley and North and South　　Strictly speaking, Elizabeth Gaskells North and South and especially Charlotte Brontes Shirley are not typical examples of the "indu strialnovels" that began to thrive in English literature in the first half of the19th century. Neither of them takes classes and class conflict as its main theme or offers any realistic and satisfactory solution to this socialproblem that became more and more acute with rapid industrialization.Shirley, written in 1849, is perhaps the only novel in which Charlotte Bronte attempts to describe an industrial action and to show how itaffects the lives of her characters. But in spite of this socio-economicing redient, the novel is basically a romance, in which the individual conflicts and frustrations of the middle-class protagonists are of much greater concern to the author than the antagonism and struggles between the social classes. A large part of the novel deals with the expectation sand disappointments of two young couples　of the leisured class. The social problems rather superficially touched upon here and there serve only as a background for the unfolding of the personal drama of the main characters. North and South, on the other hand, gives a much morede tailed account of the relationship between the social classes in Englan din the middle of the 19 century. However, the strike scene that climaxes the confrontation between the masters and the men does not really comeinto the story until Chapter 22, where the reader is almost half way through the book. And in the latter part of the novel.
