摘要
盖斯凯尔在《西尔维亚的两个恋人》中讲述拿破仑战争阴影下的蒙克莎汶小镇故事和西尔维亚的爱情悲剧,着力展现个人因应社会变化在思想和情感上的回应,于历史进程中反思动荡变化的社会现实。借助威廉斯的情感结构理论可以发现,盖斯凯尔细腻地展现了英国民众的普遍心理和社会状态——既对国家政策心存隐忧,更对帝国成就倍感骄傲。小说在一定程度上参与了帝国建构工程,助力提升英国民族身份认同与加强帝国意识建构。
Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars,Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel Sylvia’s Lovers depicts life in Monkshaven under the pervasive shadow of war and Sylvia’s tragic romance.Through the portrayal of this historical period,Gaskell explores how individuals navigate intellectual and emotional responses to social changes,while simultaneously reflecting on the turbulent social dynamics embedded in historical processes.In the light of Raymond Williams’s concept of“structure of feeling”,the novel is shown to delicately portray the collective psychology and social conditions of the Victorianera populace.They voice concerns over national policies yet take pride in the achievements of the Empire.To some extent,the novel engages in the construction of the empire,contributing to the enhancement of British national identity and the reinforcement of imperial consciousness.
