翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Cold Comfort Farm ： ウィキペディア英語版 Cold Comfort Farm ''Cold Comfort Farm'' is a comic novel by English author Stella Gibbons, published in 1932. It parodies the romanticised, sometimes doom-laden accounts of rural life popular at the time, by writers such as Mary Webb. Gibbons was working for the ''Evening Standard ''in 1928 when they decided to serialise Webb's first novel, ''The Golden Arrow'', and Gibbons was given the job of summarising the plot of earlier instalments. Other novelists in the tradition parodied by ''Cold Comfort Farm'' are D. H. Lawrence, Sheila Kaye-Smith and Thomas Hardy; and going further back, Mary E Mann and the Brontë sisters. ''Cold Comfort Farm'' won the Femina Vie Heureuse Prize for 1933. 〔 Cold Comfort Farm ISBN 0-14-000140-9〕 In 2003, the novel was listed at number 88 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.〔("BBC – The Big Read" ). BBC. April 2003, Retrieved 18 November 2012〕 == Plot summary == Following the death of her parents, the book's heroine, Flora Poste, finds she is possessed "of every art and grace save that of earning her own living." She decides to take advantage of the fact that "no limits are set, either by society or one's own conscience, to the amount one may impose on one's relatives", and settles on visiting her distant relatives at the isolated Cold Comfort Farm in the fictional village of Howling in Sussex. The inhabitants of the farm — Aunt Ada Doom, the Starkadders, and their extended family and workers — feel obliged to take her in to atone for an unspecified wrong once done to her father. As is typical in a certain genre of romantic 19th-century and early 20th-century literature, each of the farm's inhabitants has some long-festering emotional problem caused by ignorance, hatred, or fear, and the farm is badly run. Flora, being a level-headed, urban woman, determines that she must apply modern common sense to their problems and help them adapt to the 20th century. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cold Comfort Farm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
