E.H.卡尔[E.H.Carr]曾经写到:“没有什么东西可以像革命一样在历史中引起这样的兴趣。”战争,并不只是满怀感伤的痛苦记忆,也是推动人类社会进步的有力臂膀,更是研究这段历史事实的一手资料。1969年,当欧美学术界正在积极消化二战带来的各种格局变化之时,初出茅庐的T.J.克拉克[T.J.Clark]在伦敦大学的图书馆里,完成了他作为艺术史 EHCarr once wrote: “Nothing can arouse such interest in history like revolution.” War is not just a sad and painful memory, but also a powerful arm to promote the progress of human society. It is the first-hand information for studying this historical fact. In 1969, while the European and American academics were actively digesting the changes brought about by the Second World War, T.J. Clark, a fledgling literary man, completed his career as a art historian in the library of the University of London.
