摘要
《小世界》是英国校园小说家戴维·洛奇的代表作,是其最成功的作品之一。该作品不仅获得了重要的奖项,而且受到学界和读者们的普遍欢迎。对于大部分文学批评家来说,它是一部有着很强的"现代主义"色彩的后现代主义作品。但笔者认为,这是一部T·S·艾略特所谓的"神话模式"的后现代式应用。在这部长篇喜剧中,作者让一群现代学者重新出演了中世纪圣杯传奇的经典故事。本文将以神话——原型批评来分析和研究小说《小世界》,从标题、人物和情节结构方面探究作家创作的神话原型。
Small World, which is not only praised by scholars but also popularized among a wide range of readers, is one of the most successful works by English campus novelist David Lodge. Since it involves various kinds of literary theories, it is both a post-modernist work and a modernist work. However, the author of this paper thinks that it is the post-modern application of ＂the myth of the model＂ so-called by T. S. Eliot. Lodge let a group of modern scholars to reappear in the classic story of the medieval Holy Grail legend in this full-length comedy. This article analyzes and studies Small World with a myth-archetype criticism from the title, characters and plot structure to explore the myth of the prototype.
