Abstract
Since Keynes's masterful obituary, knowledge of Marshall's life has greatly increased. Family and social background, early philosophical and economic writings, and involvement with educational reforms are subjects on which readers now enjoy the benefits of better and more reliable information. By itself, this would have made an extensive biography worth its while Groenewegen's book goes much further, adding new discoveries, discussing Marshall's heritage, and endeavoring to provide a coherent whole in order to preserve "Marshall's social philosophy." Though digressions make it somewhat difficult to concentrate attention on any one connecting thread, the book offers a balanced and informed treatment of Marshall's life and activities. This article examines the book's merits and limitations and points out some hidden aspects of Marshall's character and research programs.

Review
'. . . Groenewegen's prose is gripping yet lucid and analytical. Without exaggeration it can be stated that any future work on Marshall has to start from this book.' - C.J. Talele, Choice, November 1995, Vol. 33 No. 3 -- C.J. Talele, Choice, November 1995, Vol. 33 No. 3
'A scholarly and comprehensive study of Marshall's life and work, particularly interesting on his early background.' - John K. Whitaker, Bankard Professor of Economics, University of Virginia -- John K. Whitaker, Bankard Professor of Economics, University of Virginia
'Given his worldwide reputation and immense influence on 20th century economics, the absence of a scholarly biography of Alfred Marshall is shocking. Now, at last, Peter Groenewegen has filled this yawning gap, and his book is a major event for economists, intellectual historians and students of the social sciences. Groenewegen's research, extending over many years, has been exhaustive; his contribution to our knowledge of the man and his works is immense; his analysis of Marshall's writings is comprehensive; and throughout his judgment is balanced and insightful. This is truly a landmark achievement.' - A.W. Coats, Duke University and University of Nottingham, UK -- A.W. Coats, Duke University and University of Nottingham, UK
'Scholars will find themselves well rewarded for their time reading Peter Groenewegen's substantial contribution to scholarship. No good library can afford to be without this book. It is a wonderful achievement that has been long awaited.' - Robert W. Butler, The Historian, Spring 1997, Vol. 59 No. 3 -- Robert W. Butler, The Historian, Spring 1997, Vol. 59 No. 3

第一章 阿尔弗雷德·马歇尔的生平：引言及概论
阿尔弗雷德。马歇尔，现代英国经济学之父及剑桥经济学派的创始人，生于1842年7月26日，伦敦19世纪中期一个极平常的夏日。这一天，在坐落于西敏的 英国国会上议院和下议院，国会议员们忙着三读关于殖?地乘客与评估税(2号)的法案，审议教区委员的报告，并对内阁大臣进行质询。威灵顿的公爵在上议院介 绍了二读贫民法的修正法案。在温莎，维多利亚女王和阿尔伯特王子利用下午时光在公园里骑车；晚上华丽的晚宴宴请了夏洛特·邓达斯女士、查尔斯·韦尔斯伯 爵、公主殿下、公爵夫人和库珀爵士。在邻近的伊顿，市长为近百名来宾举办了隆重的宴会，以此结束他之前的一系列“竞选演说”。法庭上，副大法官约翰·威格 拉姆先生决定帮助原告解决长期以来的婚姻财产问题；萨里郡的验尸官卡特先生处于兴奋状态。他正对前一天在沃普通西南铁路工作的工人约翰．米歇尔的死亡案件 进行着审讯。迪斯科德·梅洛迪赢得了古德伍德赛的克雷文赌注；上议院一年一度的板球比赛，即11个绅士和11个专业球员的对决正处于第二天的较量之中；在 甘草市场的皇家剧院，谢里丹的《对手》正在上演；代维吉士皇家萨里剧院也在上演贝里尼1831年的歌剧《梦游女》，下一场上演的是莎士比亚的《麦克白》， 之后，整个歌剧团在斯坦斯伯里先生的指挥下演唱了所有洛克的女巫曲目。这些都是普通的事情，但是却标志着马歇尔来到了这个世界。
它们还标志了马歇尔不平凡一?的开始。在走了一些弯路之后，马歇尔最终成为一位著名的经济学家。他撰写的《经济学原理》是经济学领域使用时间最长的教材之 一，他还出版了另外几本著作，不过相比之下受到的关注较少。他是剑桥经济学派的创始人，并建立了英国新；古典主义经济学这样一个独特的分支，将早期的古典 主义思想和新边际主义经济思想结合起来，并在供给和需求的基础上将二者融合成一种新的框架。
