In his article “The Voices of Life and Death in Shakespeare’s Narrative Poems,” Jonathan Locke Hart uses Shakespeare’s dedications and Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece to discuss art and life, death and life, life-writing and death-writing. The relation between life and art, often framed in terms of mimesis, is fraught with difficulties, so that the connection between ethics and aesthetics is intricate. After briefly discussing the theoretical debate on mimesis, this article examines closely Shakespeare’s narrative poems, to discuss life and death as well as, to some extent, health, illness. The poems explore the themes of time, love, lust and death in speaking about life, in having a speaker create a narrative of life and death. Poems are about voice and how those voices represent the life of the speaker (narrator, characters) in relation to the reader. Then and now, matters of life and death, have many facets, so this element of life-writing, including death-writing, and this article will try to suggest some aspects of the variety of its representations, voices and responses to it.

莎士比亚叙事诗中的生死之声

乔纳森·洛克·哈特（Jonathan Locke Hart）在他的文章“莎士比亚叙事诗中的生与死之声”中，运用莎士比亚的奉献精神，维纳斯和阿多尼斯以及《卢克雷塞的强奸》来讨论艺术与生活，死亡与生活，生命写作和死亡写作。人生与艺术之间的关系常常被模仿，因此充满了困难，因此伦理与美学之间的联系错综复杂。在简要讨论了关于模仿的理论辩论之后，本文仔细研究了莎士比亚的叙事诗，讨论了生与死以及某种程度上的健康，疾病。这首诗探讨了关于时间，爱，欲望和死亡的主题，讲述了生命，并由演讲者创作了关于生命和死亡的叙事。诗歌是关于声音的，以及这些声音如何代表演讲者的生活（叙述者，字符）。时至今日，关于生与死的问题都有很多方面，因此，包括死亡写作在内的生命写作这一要素，本文将尝试提出各种形式的表达，声音和对它的回应的某些方面。乔纳森·洛克·哈特（Jonathan Locke Hart），“莎士比亚叙事诗中的生与死之声”，第9页，共2页CLCWeb：比较文学与文化20.5（2018）：生活写作和医学叙事中关于生命，疾病和残疾的专刊。埃德 I-Chun Wang，Jonathan Locke Hart，Cindy Chopoidalo和David Porter
