女性主义视角下的十九世纪英国小说研究

论文摘要

作为一种文学形式,十九世纪英国小说步入了空前的鼎盛时期。十九世纪英国小说褪去了十八世纪浪漫主义文学的色彩,小说的主题开始涉及更为现实的社会问题,如阶级斗争、宗教冲突等。同时十九世纪涌现出了大批女性作家,她们挣脱了传统英国文学桎梏,抵制父权社会的压迫,她们的才华和努力不仅为其他女性作家创作奠定基石,也赢得诸多男性作家的肯定和支持。在十九世纪英国小说家的笔下许多性格鲜明、具有超时代思想的女性形象栩栩如生,使以女性题材的小说在十九世纪英国各类主题的小说中成就最为辉煌。在十九世纪鳞次栉比的文学作品中,本文选取了简·奥斯汀和她的《傲慢与偏见》、勃朗特姐妹的《简爱》和《呼啸山庄》以及托马斯·哈代的《德伯家的苔丝》进行对比分析。十九世纪越来越多的男性作家开始撰写女性题材的小说,因此在选取以上几部女性作家作品进行分析的同时,也选取了托马斯·哈代的《德伯家的苔丝》,从而对比女性和男性作家笔下的女性形象和观念。论文第一章简述了论文背景信息,第二章综述了国内外对十九世纪英国小说研究,第三章介绍了论文了理论框架及研究方法,在第四和第五章分别讨论四部小说中所反映的婚恋观和社会观,第六章在前文的基础上做出结论并阐述论文的局限性。论文借助于伊莱恩·肖瓦尔特等文学批评家的女性主义文学发展理论,对小说及其女主人公的婚恋观和社会观进行对比分析,从而探讨早期女性主义文学的特点。
