The Canoe and the Saddle: A Critical Edition
独木舟和马鞍:关键版
Theodore Winthrop
西奥多·温思罗普
In 1853, with money in his pocket and elegant clothes in his saddlebags, a twenty-four-year-old New Englander of aristocratic Yankee stock toured the territories of California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. The Canoe and the Saddle recounts Theodore Winthrop’s Northwest tour. A novelized memoir of his travels, it became a bestseller when it was published shortly after the author’s untimely death in the Civil War.This critical edition of Winthrop’s work, the first in over half a century, offers readers the original text with a narrative overview of the nature and culture of the Pacific Northwest and reflections on the ecological and racial turmoil that gripped the region at the time. It also provides a fresh perspective on the aesthetic, historical, cultural, anthropological, social, and environmental contexts in which Winthrop wrote his sometimes disturbing, sometimes enlightening, and always riveting account. Whether offering portraits of Native American culture—in particular, commenting on the Chinook Jargon—making keen and often prescient observations on nature, or deploying transcendental, animist, or Hudson River School aesthetics (likely learned from his friend Frederick Church), Winthrop develops a clear and compelling picture of a time and place still resonant and relevant today.
1853年,二十四岁的新英格兰人贵族洋基人(Yankee)带着口袋里的钱和马鞍包里的高雅衣服,游览了加利福尼亚,俄勒冈,华盛顿和不列颠哥伦比亚省的领土。独木舟和马鞍讲述了西奥多·温思罗普的西北之旅。这是一部新颖的旅行回忆录,当作者在南北战争中过世去世后不久就出版了,成为畅销书。这本温思罗普著作的批评版是半个多世纪以来的第一本,为读者提供了叙述性的概述。西北太平洋的自然和文化,以及当时席卷该地区的生态和种族动荡的思考。它还提供了有关美学,历史,文化,人类学,社会,温思罗普(Winthrop)在其中写了他有时令人不安,有时令人启迪且总是引人入胜的演讲的环境背景。无论是提供美洲原住民文化的肖像,尤其是对奇努克人的行话发表评论,对自然界进行敏锐且经常有先见之明的观察,还是运用先验的,泛神论的或哈德逊河学校的美学思想(很可能是从他的朋友弗雷德里克·丘奇那里学到的),温思罗普都能清晰而引人注目的时间和地点的画面在今天仍然是共鸣和相关的。
