牛津创建莎翁珍本网上“书库”
莎士比亚剧作珍本
新项目将让学者可以无需亲到图书馆就可以一睹珍本
一 提起莎士比亚这位英国文坛泰斗,你马上会想起《哈姆雷特》(Hamlet)以及《罗密欧与朱丽叶》(Romeo and Juliet)等经典话剧。尽管莎翁辞世已近四个世纪,可是他的作品仍被视为人类文学中的不朽瑰宝。而今,莎剧的生命力在21世纪的科学推动之下得到了一 种新的延续,这是因为400年前的莎翁话剧脚本‘上网’了!

莎士比亚的剧作的刊行版本中,最古老而且被认为最有价值的被分为两类。‘Folios’(对开本)是指印刷和包装比较讲究的大本,而‘Quartos’(四开本)是指那些页面比较小,而且印刷质量通常没有那么好的单本。

在16和17世纪的英国,话剧脚本不像现在一样受重视,被人们看作不入流的文学,所以莎士比亚所创作的38 出话剧里,最初被印刷出来的只有18 出,而且都是四开本,后来才刊行了不同版本的对开本。

各有分别

莎翁剧作的刊行本不仅数量极少,而且每每有误,以致于同样一出话剧,每一个不同的版本在语言上有很大出入。

博德联图书馆
牛津大学的博德联图书馆收藏了不少珍贵的古本书籍

绝大部分莎翁的手稿已经失传。一些学者推断,四开本这些小册子可能属于所谓的‘盗版’,而莎士比亚本人也好像并不在乎。另一种理论认为,这些剧本是由当时的一些莎剧演员从记忆中背诵出来的,所以刊印出来后就不一样。

无论如何,现在硕果仅存的四开本就成为了莎翁剧作存世的材料之中历史最为古老的部分之一,深受学者注重,也是研究人员所重视的校对根据。

珍藏版本

牛津大学的博德联图书馆(Bodleian Library)珍藏了仅存的75本1641年前刊行的莎剧四开本中的55本,另外一大部分则收藏在美国华盛顿的福尔杰莎士比亚图书馆(Folger Shakespeare Library)。

珍贵版本分散大西洋两岸,对于学者、研究人员来说,极为不便。现在两家图书馆联手,创建一个互联网上的莎剧四开本书库,免费让读者查阅。

这个大型计划在2008年4月开始,为期一年。

读者首先可以查阅的是存世的所有32本莎士比亚著名悲剧《哈姆雷特》的四开本。

整个计划完成时,所有的75本存世莎剧四开本都可以让读者自由查阅。

这个项目称为“莎士比亚四开本书库”(Shakespeare Quartos Archive),其网站将为读者提供高解像度的图像,协助读者了解所有的莎剧四开本的实况。

读者甚至还可以做网上互动,比如并将不同的版本挪在一起作比较,或者加上个人注解。这将给专门研究莎士比亚和戏剧表演的学者们带来很大方便。

英国的联合信息系统委员会(The Joint Information Systems Committee) 为这个工程出资六万英镑,而美国方面的资金则来自国家人类基金 (The National Endowment For The Humanities) 。

参 加这个项目的单位还包括了大英图书馆(British Museum)、爱丁堡大学图书馆(Edinburgh University Library)、苏格兰国立图书馆(The National Library of Scotland)、伯明翰大学(University of Birmingham)的莎士比亚研究所(Shakespeare Institute),还有美国马里兰州人类科技 研究所(Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities)。
