爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

In his reading about the America of the past, Bok had been impressed by the unusual amount of interesting personal material that constituted what is termed unwritten history--original events of tremendous personal appeal in which great personalities figured but which had not sufficient historical importance to have been included in American history. Bok determined to please his older readers by harking back to the past and at the same time acquainting the younger generation with the picturesque events which had preceded their time.

白话

博克在阅读美国往事时,被大量有趣的个人材料所打动,这些材料构成了所谓的“未写下的历史”——一些极具个人吸引力、涉及重要人物的原始事件,但因为历史重要性不够,没有被写进美国历史。博克决定取悦年长读者,让他们重温过去,同时让年轻一代了解他们之前那个时代的生动事件。做法是:挖掘那些被正史忽略但有人情味的故事,用它们连接不同代际的读者。

上下文

博克在编辑杂志时,注意到正史之外的个人化历史素材,想借此吸引不同年龄的读者。

今日一问

你所在的领域里,有哪些被正史忽略却很有感染力的个人故事?能不能把它们整理出来分享?
