摘　　要：维多利亚时代的伟大作家乔治·艾略特(玛丽·安妮·埃文斯,1819一1880)和她的伴侣,杰出的乔治·亨利·路易斯(1817一1878),哲学作家、文学评论家、剧作家、演员、编辑,都热爱莎士比亚。艾略特与莎翁的际会从她的小说中清晰可见。她在小说中引用莎翁超过31次,远超其他作家,除此之外,在她的章节引言中、信件中引用也超过100次,在她的笔记本和日记中的引用更是不胜枚举。她的伴侣与莎翁的际会也是显而易见的,在他早期的表演中,在他奠定英国莎士比亚批评根基的文学批评中,在他的杂文、信件和旁注中。本文将展示他们热爱莎士比亚的证据,讨论莎士比亚作品中特别吸引他们的地方,探索他们对莎士比亚作品的不同反应,以及从他们与莎士比亚作品的接触对他们作品的影响,他们本身以及反映出来当时接受莎士比亚作品的方式。The great Victorian writer George Eliot(Mary Anne Evans,1819-1880)and her partner,significant other George Henry Lewes(1817-1878),philosophical writer,literary critic,dramatist,actor,editor,loved Shakespeare.Eliot's engagement is clear from her novels where she cites the bard,31 times in her chapter epigraphs,more than any other writer,apart from herself.In her letters,she mentions Shakespeare over one hundred times,and also in her notebooks and journals on innumerable occasions.Her partner's engagement with Shakespeare is evident too,in his early acting,in his literary criticism that had an impact upon subsequent English Shakespearian criticism(see Hirshberg:183-184),and in his miscellaneous prose,letters and marginalia.In this paper,I will present the evidence of their love for Shakespeare,discuss what specifically in Shakespeare appealed to them,explore differences in their responses to Shakespeare,and what their Shakespearean engagements reveal about their work,themselves and,very briefly,the ways in which they reflect elements of the reception of Shakespeareatthetime.
