清代初期的历史剧《长生殿》,是中国古代戏曲史上杰出的作品之一,作者洪升(1645—1704)于康熙二十七年(1688)完成。 《长生殿》讲述的是中国历史上唐朝皇帝李隆工(712—756年在位)和贵妃杨玉环之间的爱情情故事。这是一个由史实演绎而成、历代相传的传奇故事,作者供升继承了前人的成就,用人间天上、现实与幻景交错的戏曲艺术手法,将这对帝妃之间“在天愿为比翼鸟,在地愿为连理枝”的生殆恋情描绘得出神入化,凄婉动人。作品同时还反映了当时朝廷内外复杂的矛盾斗争,勾勒出悲欢离合家国兴衰的历史风貌,成为这类题材中成就、影响的戏曲作品。剧作一经问世,当即产生了巨大的社会反响,成为剧坛竞相传抄和演出的剧目。 全剧共分为五十出,曾被译成英、日、俄等外文出版流传。本次出版,采用的是由徐朔方先生校订,杨宪益、戴乃迭
