法国文化史家丹纳 (ＨｉｐｐｏｌｙｔｏＡｄｏｌｐｈｅＴａｉｎｅ)在《〈英国文化史〉序言》中有一段名言 :“如果一部文学作品内容丰富 ,并且人们知道如何去解释它 ,那么 ,我们在这作品中所找到的 ,会是一种人的心理 ,时常也就是一个时代的心理 ,有时更是一种种族的心理。”对 Hippolyto Adolphe Taine, a French cultural historian, has a famous quote in the preface to “The History of British Culture”: "If a literary work is rich in content and people know how to explain it, then what we find in this work, Will be a kind of human psychology, often that is, the psychology of an era, and sometimes even a racial psychology.
