用英语概括《雾都孤儿》的主要内容Oliver Twist is born in a workhouse in a provincial town. His mother has been found very sick in the street, and she gives birth to Oliver just before she dies. Oliver is raised under the care of Mrs. Mann and the beadle Mr. Bumble in the workhouse. When it falls to Oliver’s lot to ask for more food on behalf of all the starving children in the workhouse, he is trashed, and then apprenticed to an undertaker, Mr. Sowerberry. Another apprentice of Mr. Sowerberry’s, Noah Claypole insults Oliver’s dead mother and the small and frail Oliver attacks him. However, Oliver is punished severely, and he runs away to London. Here he is picked up by Jack Dawkins or the Artful Dodger as he is called. The Artful Dodger is a member of the Jew Fagin’s gang of boys. Fagin has trained the boys to become pickpockets. The Artful Dodger takes Oliver to Fagin’s den in the London slums, and Oliver, who innocently does not understand that he is among criminals, becomes one of Fagin’s boys.
When Oliver is sent out with The Artful Dodger and another boy on a pickpocket expedition Oliver is so shocked when he realizes what is going on that he and not the two other boys are caught. Fortunately, the victim of the thieves, the old benevolent gentleman, Mr. Brownlow rescues Oliver from arrest and brings him to his house, where the housekeeper, Mrs. Bedwin nurses him back to life after he had fallen sick, and for the first time in his life he is happy.
However, with the help of the brutal murderer Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy Fagin kidnaps Oliver. Fagin is prompted to do this by the mysterious Mr. Monks. Oliver is taken along on a burglary expedition in the country. The thieves are discovered in the house of Mrs. Maylie and her adopted niece, Rose, and Oliver is shot and wounded. Sikes escapes. Rose and Mrs. Maylie nurse the wounded Oliver. When he tells them his story they believe him, and he settles with them. While living with Rose and Mrs. Maylie Oliver one day sees Fagin and Monks looking at him in through a window. Nancy discovers that Monks is plotting against Oliver for some reason, bribing Fagin to corrupt his innocence. Nancy also learns that there is some kind of connection between Rose and Oliver; but after having told Rose’s adviser and friend Dr. Losberne about it on the steps of London Bridge, she is discovered by Noah Claypole, who in the meantime has become a member of Fagin’s gang, and Sykes murders her. On his frantic flight away from the crime Sykes accidentally and dramatically hangs himself. Fagin and the rest of the gang are arrested. Fagin is executed after Oliver has visited him in the condemned cell in Newgate Prison. The Artful Dodger is transported after a court scene in which he eloquently defends himself and his class.
Monks’ plot against Oliver is disclosed by Mr. Brownlow. Monks is Oliver’s half-brother seeking all of the inheritance for himself. Oliver’s father’s will states that he will leave money to Oliver on the condition that his reputation is clean. Oliver’s dead mother and Rose were sisters. Monks receives his share of the inheritance and goes away to America. He dies in prison there, and Oliver is adopted by Mr. Brownlow.

雾都孤儿的英文背景【雾都孤儿英文简介_雾都孤儿英文版介绍】Charles DIckens's Oliver Twist
Oliver Twist: The Parish Boy抯 Progress
Charles Dickens created an astonishing collection of literary masterpieces each of which tightly grasped the attention of the audience.Dickens was able to maintain a writing schedule that would have exhausted any other author.In slightly more than thirty years, Dickens published more than twenty novels, acted as editor for a variety of literary journals, created his own magazine, worked as a freelance reporter, and executed a series of charismatic public readings.His popularity established Dickens as one of the first 揷elebrities.?SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">Crowds brimming with eager fans would accumulate as Dickens bellowed out the charming lines of his tantalizing novels.His significance and notoriety are still easily identified in contemporary literary cannons.Although his books sold and the audience waited on edge for the next installment of his works, Dickens was not given completely favorable reviews to every text.
Oliver Twist was begun in February 1837 and continued as monthly installments in Bentley抯 Miscellany until April of 1839.Dickens originally titled the novel Oliver Twist: The Parish Boy抯 Progress but it has since been shorten to simply Oliver Twist.Dickens finished writing the novel in the London of 1838 and the first edition of the novel was found on shelves in November of 1838.The novel falls into the genre of a children抯 detective story but the novel also contains an aspect of social protest as Dickens details the Poor Laws and workhouses.Dickens uses his hyperbolic irony and sentimentalism to create characters currently residing in the underworld of industrial London.The themes that appear within the text are the delineation between good and evil, the hypocritical attitudes and behaviors of public institutions, and the ultimately flawed theory of individualism.Dickens uses mistaken identities and familial ties to create a story, which closely details the journey of a virtuous orphan through the mean streets of poverty (Spark Notes: Oliver Twist).
While Dickens was composing Oliver Twist, he was also working as editor of Bentleys Miscellany.As an author, Dickens rarely completely finished one work before beginning an entirely new project.For example, Pickwick Papers was not completed prior to his beginning of Oliver Twist. Nor was Oliver Twist completed before Dickens had moved on to Nicholas Nickleby.Master Humphrey抯 Clock and The Old Curiosity Shop were soon to follow.Dickens wrote at a fevered pace which would have been daunting to other authors.In addition to his rapid publication of novels, Dickens was also able to create strikingly differing works.His first serially published novel, Pickwick Papers, was fully of comic charisma; however, Gilbert Keith Chesterton states that Oliver Twist 搃s by far the most depressing of all his books?(Chesterton).
Oliver Twist is the story of an orphan who unwittingly stumbles upon his hidden fortune.The tale is one that vividly depicts the dismal prospects of one born into a workhouse without parents and is forced to survive on little or no compassion.Oliver is unloved and unwanted from the open of the novel.However, as the novel progresses, Oliver finds that his honest and kind disposition win him a variety of friends in high places.Although Fagin and the other street urchins continually seek to ruin Oliver抯 connections, Oliver抯 faithful heart find a home in the end.The novel demonstrates the benefits of a good will that may be found in the most unlikely of people.Oliver抯 merits carry him through life and away from the poverty that capture those with weaker morals.In the conclusion of the tale, Oliver finds himself among those with equally good manners and morals.His situation is only improved through the inevitable triumph of good over evil.
Dickens initially published Oliver Twist in the format of serial publication.Dickens used the process of creating monthly installments to create a high level of suspense, leaving the audience eagerly awaiting the next installment in the series.Oliver Twist was reportedly 揳 part of everyday conversations, just as top rated television shows are for us today.?SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">Dickens effectively used the publishing techniques to his benefit; he was able to work the system (Oliver Twist桾he Author and His Times).
Interestingly, Dickens抯 personal environment was greatly shaken in both a happy manner and a sad one during the publishing of Oliver Twist.In May of 1837 Mary Hogarth died, devastating Dickens.Hogarth, his sister-in-law, was a dear friend and supporter of Dickens.Many critics speculate that the characters of Rose and Nancy were modeled after Dickens?companion Mary Hogarth.After Hogarth抯 death, Dickens feelings of abandonment seep into the world of Oliver.Oliver fears the loss of Rose as Dickens mourns the loss of Mary (Oliver Twist桾he Author and His Times).Catherine Dickens was also reported to have given birth to Charles, the first of ten children during this time (Victorian Web).The splendor of a new baby was contrasted with the great loss of a close friend.Dickens, in fact, was forced to take a break from his busy writing schedule to cope with the drastic changes that took place in his personal life at this time.
The Poor Laws were established prior to the publication of the novel.The Poor Laws, according to The Victorian Web, were created to destroy the relief programs that were in play since 1601.The Poor Laws generated a system of workhouses.The workhouses allowed for a program of assistance that did not merely dole out money but rather doled out food, shelter, and clothing.The Poor Laws provided an answer to the declining laws that were supporting the impoverished.The problems were obvious: the current system left the aged uncared for, the children ignorant and uneducated, and the lower class population starving.King George III proposed a plan to:
Stop the allowance system梩o deprive the magistracy of the power of ordering out-door relief梩o alter in certain case the constitution of parochial vestries梩o give large discretionary powers to the central commissioners梩o simplify the law of settlement and removal梩o render the mother of an illegitimate child liable to support it.Dickens[1] 366
However, the workhouses proved to be yet another place to shove the poor.The theory may have been formed from noble ideals but the foundations were flawed.
The boundaries and faults of the Poor Laws are blatantly exemplified in Oliver Twist.Oliver is forced to suffer the indignities of starvation, brutal treatment, and is damned to life in a workhouse.Dickens used his artistic talents to speak for the silent, to fight for the oppressed, and to champion those defeated.Dickens himself states: 揑t was my attempt, in my humble and far distant sphere, to dim the false glitter surrounding something which really did exist, by showing it in its unattractive and repulsive truth?(Dickens 6).Dickens used his literary engine to fuel the debate over the Poor Laws and to reveal the reality that so many unfortunate souls were forced to inhabit.
The novel was received in a variety of ways.Many hailed the novel as a 搑unaway bestseller?and an encore to the highly prized Pickwick Papers.On the other hand, the Jewish population as well as other critics found the novel to be far too sentimental and lacking.One of the major issues raised by an entire community against the novels was the portrayal Fagin, the evil Jew.Milton Kerker in his article 揅harles Dickens, Fagin and Riah?states that Fagin may be the 搈ost grotesgue and villainous Jew in all of English literature.?SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">Fagin was found by the Jewish community to be a ruffian with the devil dwelling within his cold heart.In 1854 the Jewish Chronicle was outraged and presented the public with this criticism of Dickens.Later in 1863, Eliza Davis writes Dickens to question his portrayal of Fagin.Dickens responds to Davis by stating:
I must take leave to say, that if there be any general feeling on the part of the intelligent Jewish people, that I have done them what you describe as 揳 great wrong,?they are a far less sensible, a far less just, and a far less good-tempered people than I have always supposed them to be.Fagin, in Oliver Twist, is a Jew, because it unfortunately was true of the time to which that story refers, that that class of criminal almost invariably was a Jew. Dickens 378
The public did not openly object to the portrayal of Fagin until several years after the novel was originally published.However, despite the fact that Dickens maintained his innocence, Dickens did attempt to make alterations in the next edition of the novel to correct this offensive implication.In the 1867 edition of chapter 38, Fagin is referred to as 搕he Jew?more than 250 times.However, in later chapters he is referred to as 搕he Jew?only 32 times.This is thought to have been Dickens抯 attempt to reconcile Fagin抯 character with the Jewish community.Despite this characterization of Fagin and Dickens抯 wording changes, Dickens never openly abused a Jewish person nor did he openly practice anti-Semitic opinions (Kerker).
Likewise, the Monthly Review of January 1839 demanded that Dickens used characters that are so low that sympathy cannot be created.The reviewer feels that although there were comic pieces worth noting, the ending does not comply with the standard notion that the evil ones must face strict consequences while the just are rewarded.The reviewer does not go so far as to claim Dickens to be an immoral writer but he does not treat the characters with the morals that would classify Dickens with the 揾ighest rank of our moral fictionists.?Dickens is yet again commended for openly stating the plea of the downtrodden but in this reviewer抯 opinion, the downtrodden are not moral enough to place Dickens in a higher class of fiction novelists (Dickens 403-405).
Just as the Monthly Review questions the worth of such characters as Nancy, William Makepeace Thackeray also claims that such characters are not worth the sympathy or the attention of the audience.Thackeray does allow for Dickens抯 popularity but questions his use of setting and characters.True, Dickens can charm an audience like none other.True, one must continually read Dickens to satisfy some strange need.Unfortunately, the fact remains that Thackeray does not believe there is much to be gained by closely examining the life of the poor and forgotten (Dickens 408-410).In the opinion of Thackeray, would it not be much more prudent to bestow such kind sympathies upon a worthier class of characters?Character such as Amelia Osborne and Becky Sharp are worthy of moral scrutiny but Oliver Twist and the like shall remain in the gutter, below the view of the mainstream population.
Early reviews from The Examiner, September 10,1837, claim that this novel is an 揺xact painting?of the reality Dickens wished to present to the public.Dickens was praised for his capture of the emotions surrounding death of Nancy and the detailing of Oliver抯 life as an orphan.Although the reviewer is surprised to see Dickens making use of the Poor Law Debates in the first chapters of the novel, the reviewer understands the philanthropy that Dickens is attempting to inspire (Dickens 399-401).In conclusion of this review, the author states: 揥e leave him most reluctantly, and so will every read who has any capacity to see and feel whatsoever is most loveable, hateful, or laughable, in the character of the everyday life about him?(401).
The Spectator states on November 24, 1838, that Dickens 揾as genius to vivify his observation.?SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">Dickens is complimented for his powerful use of pathos and his description of truth.The reviewer admires Dickens抯 ability to find good in all humanity despite the dirty surroundings of unfortunates such as Oliver.Dickens抯 style is commended to be capable of an effective use of language while never sounding forced (Dickens 401-402).
The Literary Gazette, and Journal of the Belles Lettres declares on November 24, 1838, that Dickens has 背ug deep into the human mind; and he has nobly directed his energies to the exposure of evils梩he workhouse, the starving school, the factory system, and many other things, at which blessed nature shudder and recoiled.?SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">Dickens抯 ability to capture the suffering of Oliver intrigues the reading audience.Those who are far removed from the factories and the workhouses are suddenly acutely aware of the plea of the poor and the corruption of the Poor Laws.Dickens抯 has made a successful journey into social activism with the guidance of Oliver and his band of companions (Dickens 402-403).
The Quarterly Review of 1839 published a glowing review of the novel.The reviewer believed Dickens to be 揳 sign of the times?and as such, he provoked 搈ore interest than that of Halley抯 comet.?SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">The reviewer felt that not only did he write just enough and not too much, but also he wrote with enough vigor to demand that the public read the next installment.His popularity was unparalleled and his installments were always immediately read.Dickens manages to tell of 搑eal pain?while the novel lacks in false sentimentalism (Dickens 405-408).The reviewer states: 揌e deals truly with human nature, which never can degrade; he takes up everything, good, bad, or indifferent, which he works up into a rich alluvial deposit.He is natural, and that never can be ridiculous?(Dickens 406).
Ironically, Oliver Twist, one of Dickens抯 earliest published works, returned to Dickens upon his death.During his career, Dickens performed public readings of his novels to large crowds of people.It was reported that such readings drew people from great distances to watch as Dickens reenacted his colorfully written scenes.During one of these readings, his last dramatic performance, Dickens suffered a collapse in April of 1869.Dickens was reading the portion of Oliver Twist where Sikes violently murders Nancy.The scene was 损hysically and emotionally exhausting?for the over-worked author.After this collapse, Dickens ceased to perform public readings of his novels.The stress on his body led to his death on June 8th of 1870.Dickens was working on The Mystery of Edwin Drood at the time of his death (Oliver Twist桾he Author and His Times).
Dickens has been criticized for his choice of characters and setting.At times the novel tends to shift to a sentimentality that leaves a sour taste in the mouth of the reading audience.The novel condemns the world of the Poor Laws by describing in great detail the life of a prostitute, orphan, gang of thieves, and other miscreants that grope their way along the underbelly of civilization.However, many of the reviewers felt that Dickens抯 ability to color realism with his pen was worth reading.Although Fagin may have been referred to as 搕he Jew?numerous times, Dickens was able to effectively shed light upon the suffering of the impoverished.After all, Dickens抯 goal was to pointedly describe the reality of where and how Oliver lived and survived the streets of a city that did not want him.The novel depicts the best of human nature in contrast with the worst of human nature.Couple the dynamic duo of good verse evil with the name of Charles Dickens and a best seller is a sure thing.
