凯瑟琳·曼斯菲尔德作品的音乐性

论文摘要

凯瑟琳·曼斯菲尔德是一位受过专业音乐训练的新西兰女作家,自幼与音乐结下不解之缘,在求学生涯里以文学为业,以音乐为友。一度曼斯菲尔德在音乐与文学的职业决择中倍感困惑。后来她选择了文学作为自己的事业,但是音乐已经浸润到她的血脉。她的一生如同一曲短暂而曲折的哀乐。这样一位在音乐的陪伴下成长的女作家,音乐好比她生命的养分,为她的写作提供了不断的灵感和大量的题材。她的作品是否具有音乐性?这是本文力求回答的问题。为了回答这一问题本文以《序曲》、《唱歌课》、《布丽尔小姐》、《园会》等一些曼斯菲尔德代表作品为分析文本,着重分析曼斯菲尔德作品在叙述手法、内容和形式方面的音乐性。在分析过程中引用大量的理论,并且在其后附上具体示例进行详尽说明,使整个论证过程有理可依、有据可寻。论文的结构大致如下：首先介绍凯瑟琳·曼斯菲尔德与音乐的关系,并且提出其作品是否具有音乐性这一问题。其次从理论层面、经典作品例证以及曼斯菲尔德作品出发论证文学与音乐的关系。再次是论文的主体部分。第三章从叙述方式方面论述凯瑟琳·曼斯菲尔德作品的复调音乐特性。第四章从作品内容方面阐释曼斯菲尔德作品的音乐性。第五章从形式上阐明曼斯菲尔德作品的音乐性。最后在结论中对论文开始提出的问题做出了肯定的回答。凯瑟琳·曼斯菲尔德作品确有音乐的特征。
