论历史剧《爱德华三世》的叙事

On Narrative of The Raigne of King Edward the Third

莎士比亚的历史剧是一种艺术化的历史写作,它们在舞台上生动而有力地表现了被讲述的历史故事,尤其是充满想象力的事件细节。《爱德华三世》的叙事主要包括英格兰(爱德华三世、黑王子爱德华)对苏格兰战争与对法战争(克勒西战役、围攻加莱、普瓦捷战役),和一个想象的骑士爱情故事(爱德华三世、索尔兹伯里伯爵夫人),突出表现了中世纪后期的骑士行为和骑士精神。

Shakespeare s historical plays are a dramatic historiography.They vividly and forcefully represent the historical events,especially the details of the imaginative stories.The narratives of King Edward the Third mainly include Anglo-Scottish War of Succession(Edward III,Black Prince Edward)and The Hundred Years War(the Battle of Crecy,the siege of Calais,and the Battle of Poitiers),and an imaginary knight love story(Edward III and the Countess of Salisbury),which highlights the Knight behaviors and knightship in the late Middle Ages.
