约翰·科林伍德·布鲁斯和哈德良长城研究*

哈德良长城的研究欠那些在1848年举起革命旗帜的人一个巨大的债务。他们迫使约翰科林伍德布鲁斯放弃他计划在罗马度假，改为参观哈德良长城。虽然大家都知道他在孩提时代、学生时代和年轻人时代都曾造访过长城，但如今，42岁的布鲁斯开始了他的研究，他的名字主要是通过这项研究而被人们记住的。布鲁斯的《罗马城墙手册》仍然是哈德良长城的主要学术指南。自布鲁斯去世以来，《手册》先后有四位编辑修订过--或者说正在修订--《手册》的十个版本，而现在我是包括布鲁斯在内的第六位编辑。到目前为止，《手册》共修订了十三个版本。这一讨论源于将于2004年出版的《手册》新版本的编辑工作，以及考虑历任编辑的贡献。
Hadrian's Wall studies owe a great debt to those who raised the flag of revolution in 1848. They forced John Collingwood Bruce to abandon his planned holiday in Rome and visit Hadrian's Wall instead. Although he is known to have visited the Wall as a boy, a student, and a young man, now, at the age of forty-two, Bruce commenced the study by which his name is principally remembered. Bruce's Handbook to the Roman Wall remains the primary academic guide to Hadrian's Wall. Four successive editors, and now myself, the sixth including Bruce, have revised — or are revising — the Handbook in ten editions since Bruce's death: thirteen editions so far. This discussion flows from the work of editing the new edition of the Handbook, which is due to be published in 2004, and of considering the contributions of the successive editors.
