A.   簡介 Introduction (within 100 words, Chinese or English)

與早期作品如《公爵夫人之書》、《名人堂》等相似，喬叟以夢境文學形式寫成《百鳥議A Survey of London《倫敦誌》是英國第一部有系統之城市史，由平民史家約翰·史鐸所著。1590年起，史鐸以William Fitz-Stephen的史料為藍本，著手撰寫《倫敦誌》，該書記載倫敦市從神話時期至1598年以來的城市發展、政治、歷史文化之改變等，是本複雜的地志，因為文類包含了城市傳記(city biography)、地方風俗誌(chorography)、城市編年體(town chronicle)1]、人物列傳(biographies)，時間地誌 (‘topography of time’)。2]在敘述體上《倫敦誌》屬於一種旅行記錄 (travelogue)，敘述者的論述風格似「演員」所使用的劇場語言3]；在情感上，筆者認為該作品深刻反映了史鐸的民族觀與心靈地理 (psychogeography)。史鐸到晚年封給自己的頭銜「古物搜尋者」 ‘a serchar of antiquities’ [sic] (Survey of London 1603, I.xlix)，實至名歸。《倫敦誌》是研究文藝復興文學、歷史與文化之重要文獻與必讀作品。

B.   文本摘錄 Extracts (4-6 Pages)

Men of trades and sellers of wares in this city have oftentimes since changed their places, as they have found their best advantage. For whereas mercer and haberdashers used to keep their shops in West Cheap, of later time they held them on London Bridge, where partly they yet remain. The goldsmiths of Gutherton’s Lane and Old Exchange are now for the most part removed into the south side of West Cheap, the pepperers and grocers of Soper’s Lane are now in Bucklesbury, and other places dispersed. The drapers of Lombard Street and of Cornhill are seated in Candlewick Street and Watling Street; the skinners from St. Mary Pellipers, or at the Axe, into Budge Row and Wallbrook; the stockfish-mongers in Thames Street; wet fishmongers in Knightriders Street and Bridge Street; the ironmongers of Ironmongers Lane and Old Jury into Thames Street; the vintners from the Vintry into divers places. But the brewers for the most part remain near to the friendly water of Thames; the butchers in East Cheap, St. Nicholas Shambles, and the Stocks Market; the hosiers of old time in Hosier Lane, near unto Smithfield, are since removed into Cordwainer Street, the upper par tthereof by Bow Church, and last of all into Birchoveries Lane by Cornhill; the shoemakers and curriers of Cordwainer Street removed, the one to St. Martins le Grand, the other to London Wall, ‘near unto Moorgate; the founders remain by themselves in Lothbury; cooks or pastellers, for the more part in Thames Street, the other dispersed into divers parts; poulterers of late removed out of the Poultry, betwixt the Stocks and the great conduit in Cheap, into Grass Street and St. Nicholas Shambles; bowyers from Bowyers Row by Ludgate into divers places, and almost worn out with the fletchers; paternoster makers of old time, or bede-makers, and text-writers, are gone out of Paternoster Row, and are called Stationers of Paul’s Churchyard; patten makers of St. Margaret, Pattens Lane, clean worn out; labourers every work day are to be found in Cheap, about Soper’s Land End; horse-counters and sellers of oxen, sheep, swine and the like remain in their old market of Smithfield . . .
