这是历史（中世纪）小说，不是奇幻，但《Hild》（http://www.amazon.com/Hild-Novel-Nicola-Griffith/dp/12500560...）是我读过文笔最好的书之一。补充编辑：还有《Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell》也是顶级的 http://www.amazon.com/Jonathan-Strange-Mr-Norrell-Novel/dp/0...…
It's historical (medieval) fiction, not fantasy, but Hild (http://www.amazon.com/Hild-Novel-Nicola-Griffith/dp/12500560...) is one of the best written books I've read. edit: Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell is up there http://www.amazon.com/Jonathan-Strange-Mr-Norrell-Novel/dp/0...…
……收获非常大，尤其是当作者用他们搭建世界观（world building）的功底让历史重现生机的时候。Neal Stephenson 的《巴洛克三部曲》（The Baroque Cycle）在 HN 上经常被人提起，但我最喜欢的例子之一是 Nicola Griffith 写的《Hild》[0]，它对 7 世纪的不列颠做了极其出色的诠释，聚焦于后来被我们称为惠特比的希尔达（Hilda of Whitby）的那位年轻女子。[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hild_(novel)
…very rewarding, especially when they use their world building skills to bring the past to life. The Baroque cycle by Neal Stephenson comes up from time to time on HN, but one of my favourite examples is 'Hild' [0] by Nicola Griffith, which is an excellent interpretation of seventh century Britain, focusing on the young woman who was to become known to us as Hilda of Whitby.

如果有人想看看现代视角下对当年可能有人阅读《Psychomachia》的那种社会的描绘，读读 Nicola Griffith 的《Hild》[0]会是个不错的选择。《Hild》以小说化的手法记录了后来成为惠特比修道院首任院长——惠特比的希尔达早年的生活。这是一部历史剧，但笔触……
People who are interested in reading a modern take on the sort of society in which Psychomachia could have been read could do worse than read 'Hild' [0] by Nicola Griffith. Hild is a fictionalized account of the early life of the woman who became Hilda of Whitby, the founding abbess of the monastery at Whitby. It is a historical drama, but written…
在 Nicola Griffith 的《Hild》系列书[0]中也有这种效应的另一个有趣范例，该书虚构了 7 世纪不列颠惠特比的希尔达[1]的早年生活。我们现在熟知的一些城镇（约克、伊普斯威奇）在当时就已经存在了，但书中的很多情节都关乎冲突……
There's another interesting example of this effect in Nicola Griffith's 'Hild' books [0], which fictionalise the early life of Hilda of Whitby [1] in 7thC Britain. Some of the towns that we now recognise (York, Ipswich) already existed, but a lot of the action concerns conflict…
