序言Early in Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, we learn about Tom Sawyer's gang and his "deep laid" plans, for Tom and his inner circleof friends dedicate one memorable occasion to working out such details: thename of the gang, its objectives, its general line of business——its modusoperandi. But there are problems, namely, problems of interpretation. Afterall, not everybody defines "gang" the same way. These interpretive prob-lems are not insurmountable, so we discover, but they are real, at least for afew enchanted moments in the narrative.

文摘HIPPOLYTE ADOLPHE TAINE （1828-1893）Wordsworth's romanticism, with its stress on intuition as a guide to learningultimate truth and its belief that emotions and the imagination form the coreof poetry's content, dominated literature and literary criticism throughoutthe first three decades of the nineteenth century, and its influence still contin-ues today. With the rise of the Victorian era in the 1830s, reason,, science, anda sense of historical determinism began to supplant Romantic thought. Thegrowing sense of historical and scientific determinism finally found its au-thoritative voice and culminating influence in Charles Darwin and his textOn the Origin of Species, published in 1859. Humankind was now demysti-fied, for we finally knew our origins and understood our physiological de-velopment; science, it seemed, had provided us with the key to our past andan understanding of the present, and would help us determine our future ifwe relied on the scientific method in all our human endeavors.

Science's methodology, its philosophical assumptions, and its practicalapplications found an admiring adherent and a strong voice in French histo-rian and literary critic Hippolyte Taine. Born in Vouziers, France, HippolyteTaine was a brilliant but unorthodox student at the Ircole NormaleSuprrieure in Paris. After finishing his formal education, he taught in vari-ous schools throughout France, continuing his investigations in both aesthet-ics and history. During the 1850s, he published various philosophical andaesthetic treatises, but his chief contribution to literary criticism and historyis The History of English Literature, published in 1863. In this work, Taine crys-tallizes what is now known as the historical approach to literary analysis.

In the introduction to The History of English Literature, Taine uses a scien-tific simile to explain his approach to literary criticism.
