China’s gentry

作者：  费孝通著;赵旭东，秦志杰译

出版社：三联书店,2009

简介：　　 《中国士绅》其实算不得是一本新书，因为这是根据费孝通先生1953 　　年的英文版作品翻译而来，以他在江苏和云南几个村落的田野调查为基础 　　，探讨旧中国社会精英(士绅)阶层，书中的观点，是费孝通先生对于中国 　　社会整体结构与功能运作机制的总结性论断。尽管如此，今天我们读这本 　　书，仍然有值得我们思考和借鉴的地方，而书中的很多观点对于我们多数 　　人来说还未曾耳闻。 　　 《中国士绅》后半部分是周荣德先生早年在云南昆阳对费孝通先生所 　　做的六篇关于乡村士绅的个案访谈。前半部分的理论思考与后半部分的人 　　物访谈，二者相得益彰，互相印证。这次以完整的形式将《中国士绅》推 　　荐给中文读者。并借以表达对逝去一代学者的追思和敬意。1953年，由美 　　国著名人类学家雷德斐尔德作序、其夫人玛格丽特编辑的《中国士绅》在 　　芝加哥大学出版社出版。这部主要记录费孝通先生20世纪40年代学术成果 　　的作品此后一直是英语世界有关中国乡村社会结构及其变迁这一论域难以 　　忽略的参考文献。 　　

Praying for power:Buddhism and the formation of gentry society in late-ming China

作者：  (加)卜正民(Timothy Brook)著;张华译

出版社：江苏人民出版社,2005

简介：在16和17世纪的中国，佛教信徒和儒学士人广泛地活跃于地方寺院及其捐助活动中。随着士绅数量的增长超过了帝国官僚机构需求的增长，许多人被阻挡在传统的儒家仁宦之途之外；但是显而易见的慈善事业可以在国家掌控的领域之外昭示精英的公共地位。由于积极卷入佛寺住持的资金筹集工程，士绅的赞助行为深刻地影响了佛教的公共机构。 本书首先讨论了佛教与明代理学的关系，佛教胜地旅游业的增长，以及慈善捐助的机制和动机，继之又分别考察了地理位置和经济状况迥异的三个县。作者依据中的充分史料，透辟地分析了当时佛教捐助的类型和社会后果。

Persuasion /

作者：  by Jane Austen.

出版社：

简介：Book Description Jane Austen’s last completed novel, Persuasion is a delightful social satire of England’s landed gentry and a moving tale of lovers separated by class distinctions. After years apart, unmarried Anne Elliot, the heroine Jane Austen called “almost too good for me,” encounters the dashing naval officer others persuaded her to reject, as he now courts the rash and younger Louisa Musgrove. Superbly drawn, these characters and those of Anne’s prideful father, Sir Walter, the scheming Mrs. Clay, and the duplicitous William Elliot, heir to Kellynch Hall, become luminously alive—so much so that the poet Tennyson, visiting historic Lyme Regis, where a pivotal scene occurs, exclaimed: “Don’t talk to me of the Duke of Monmouth. Show me the exact spot where Louisa Musgrove fell!” Tender, almost grave, Persuasion offers a glimpse into Jane Austen’s own heart while it magnificently displays the full maturity of her literary power. Amazon.com Anne Elliot, heroine of Austen's last novel, did something we can all relate to: Long ago, she let the love of her life get away. In this case, she had allowed herself to be persuaded by a trusted family friend that the young man she loved wasn't an adequate match, social stationwise, and that Anne could do better. The novel opens some seven years after Anne sent her beau packing, and she's still alone. But then the guy she never stopped loving comes back from the sea. As always, Austen's storytelling is so confident, you can't help but allow yourself to be taken on the enjoyable journey. From Library Journal Austen is the hot property of the entertainment world with new feature film versions of Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility on the silver screen and Pride and Prejudice hitting the TV airwaves on PBS. Such high visibility will inevitably draw renewed interest in the original source materials. These new Modern Library editions offer quality hardcovers at affordable prices. From AudioFile PERSUASION is perfectly rendered in polished, English diction by Scacchi. When Anne Elliott and Captain Wentworth reunite after the passage of irrecoverable youth, we feel their passion and regret over lost years. Scacchi expresses this with subtle, sympathetic tones, allowing us to experience the wonderful written language. Descriptions of an English seaside town provide the backdrop for this love story. Altogether, the audio experience is superb! J.K.R. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner. Book Dimension

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 The enormous changes in twentieth-century Chinese higher education up to the Sino-Japanese War are detailed in this pioneering work. Yeh examines the impact of instruction in English and of the introduction of science and engineering into the curriculum. Such innovations spurred the movement of higher education away from the gentry academies focused on classical studies and propelled it toward modern middle-class colleges with diverse programs.Yeh provides a typology of Chinese institutions of higher learning in the Republican period and detailed studies of representative universities. She also describes student life and prominent academic personalities in various seats of higher learning. Social changes and the political ferment outside the academy affected students and faculty alike, giving rise, as Yeh contends, to a sense of alienation on the eve of war.

Sense and sensibility

作者：  Jane Austen

出版社：

简介：　　though not the first novel she wrote, sense and sensibility was the first jane austen published. though she initially called it elinor and marianne, austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. the story revolves around the dashwood sisters, elinor and marianne. whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. commenting on edward ferrars, a potential suitor for elinor's hand, marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister: 　　oh! mama, how spiritless, how tame was edward's manner in reading to us last night! i felt for my sister most severely. yet she bore it with so much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. i could hardly keep my seat. to hear those beautiful lines which have frequently almost driven me wild, pronounced with such impenetrable calmness, such dreadful indifference! 　　soon however, marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: mr. willoughby, a new neighbor. so swept away by passion is marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous. then willoughby abandons her; meanwhile, elinor's growing affection for edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart. how each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel. though marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is elinor whom austen herself most evidently admired; a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure. --alix wilber --this text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. 　　作者简介： 　　though the domain of jane austen’s novels was as circumscribed as her life, her caustic wit and keen observation made her the equal of the greatest novelists in any language. born the seventh child of the rector of steventon, hampshire, on december 16, 1775, she was educated mainly at home. at an early age she began writing sketches and satires of popular novels for her family’s entertainment. as a clergyman’s daughter from a well-connected family, she had an ample opportunity to study the habits of the middle class, the gentry, and the aristocracy. at twenty-one, she began a novel called “the first impressions” an early version of pride and prejudice. in 1801, on her father’s retirement, the family moved to the fashionable resort of bath. two years later she sold the first version of northanger abby to a london publisher, but the first of her novels to appear was sense and sensibility, published at her own expense in 1811. it was followed by pride and prejudice (1813), mansfield park (1814), and emma (1815).

Jane Austen deluxe bind-up 简·奥斯汀豪华版

作者：  

出版社：

简介：
Jane Austen chronicles the subtleties and nuances of- and the aspirations and machinations at work in - her own social milieu. Through the stories of her spirited heroines and their circles, their interactions and rituals, their movements from ballrooms to drawing rooms, from London and Bath to parklands and gardens, she recreates the life of The English gentry that she observed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Each of her novels is a love story and a story about marriage - marriage for love, for financial security, for social status. But they are not romances; ironic, comic, wise and penetrating, they are brilliant portrayals of the society Jane Austen knew.

Tess of d'Urbervilles / Bantam classic ed.

作者：  by Thomas Hardy ; intrduction by Robert B. Heilman.

出版社：

简介：     Hardy's novel tells the story of how John and Joan Durbeyfield became convinced that they are descended from the ancient family of d'Ubervilles. They encourage their daughter Tess to cement a connection with the Stoke-d'Uberville family of local gentry (who it turns out are themselves not entitled to the illustrious name) and she is raped by their son, the unprincipled Alec. It is a connection that returns to haunt her after she has married the pure parson's son Angel Clare.     Tessfirst appeared in a serialized—and bowdlerized—form in The Graphicin 1891. A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented, as Hardy subtitled the work, represented a direct challenge to conventional notions of sexuality and femininity—and, though conventions have radically changed in the past century, the character of Tess has remained a challenging one. In her introduction Maier argues that we should not see Tess merely as a passive victim; she suggests that a combination of sexual vigour and moral rigour makes Tess not just one of the greatest but also one of the strongest women in the canon of English literature.          This edition also includes contemproary reviews; the 'bowdlerized' as well as the author's original versions of passages censored by the early years of the novel's life; excerpts from Hardy's autobiography; and a wealth of other documents that shed light on the context from which this text emerged -- highlighting in particular gender-related issues that lie at the heart of the text. --This text refers to the Paperbackedition.

Building of the English country house, 1660-1880. Creating paradise : the building of the English...

作者：  Richard Wilson and Alan Mackley.

出版社：

简介："Building and rebuilding their houses was one of the main concerns of the English nobility and gentry, some might say their greatest achievement. This is the first book to look at the building of country houses as a whole in the two centuries after 1660. Creating Paradise shows why owners embarked on building schemes, often following the Grand Tour or excursions around other houses in England; where they looked for architectural inspiration and assistance; and how the building work was actually done and what it cost. It deals not only with the grandest houses, including Holkham and Castle Howard, but also the diversity of middling ones, such as Felbrigg and Dyrham, and those of the lesser country gentry. Creating Paradise is an important and original contribution to its subject and a highly readable account of the attitude of the English ruling class to its most important possession."--BOOK JACKET.
