| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | 本研究計畫檢視為何水以及其多元樣貌在維多利亞時期的小說中扮演舉足輕重的角色。本研究計畫共分為三部份，第一部分探討三位伯朗特姊妹如何利用園藝學的詞彙與語言來塑造她們小說中自我成長的故事情節。在《簡愛》、《咆嘯山莊》與《懷德菲爾山莊中的房客》中，這樣的故事情節分別藉由水的過剩、缺乏與流動來呈現。筆者希望能細究的問題是:伯朗特姊妹之所以在小說中著墨於自我成長的情節，是否是因為此情節能讓她們巧妙地融合對水以及園藝學的雙重興趣? 本研究計畫第二部分，分析查爾斯‧狄更斯在《孤雛淚》以及《遠大前程》中河流的意象。多數狄更斯學者認為，欲知狄更斯對「進步」此一概念的態度，吾人必須研究其作品中的鐵路意象。筆者希望能另闢蹊徑。藉由研究上述兩本狄更斯小說中河流與角色發展的聯結，筆者意圖發掘狄更斯對「進步」此一概念的定義與想法，也期待能證明，狄更斯對工業化英國社會的反思與企盼，其實寄託在不捨晝夜的流水中。本研究計畫第三部分，細數伊莉莎白‧蓋斯開爾小說《瑪莉‧巴頓》以及《希爾薇雅的情人》中，水手以及海洋的意象。這兩本小說分別聚焦於工人的困苦以及北英格蘭濱海城鎮的風貌。乍看之下，它們證明了蓋斯開爾是一位工業/地區性小說家(a(n) industrial/provincial novelist)。藉由分析在此兩本小說中海洋對人們的影響以及水手的足跡，筆者希望能說明，蓋斯開爾的藝術成就超出工業/地區性小說的框架。她將海洋的廣袤與深邃編織到她著名的工業/地區性小說中，用海水的流轉建構出她對土地的關懷。 | |
| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | This research project investigates why water and its various forms play a formative role in the novels of the three Brontё sisters, Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell. This project comprises three sections. The first section examines how the three Brontё sisters draw on horticultural languages to formulate their drama of personal improvement. In Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, this drama intersects respectively with the overabundance, lack and movement of water. I plan to explore the possibility that the plot of individual growth in these three novels provides a platform on which horticulture and water can speak to each other. The second section of this project analyzes how, in Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, Dickens employs river imagery to articulate his attitude toward progress. Scholars interested in understanding Dickens's attitude toward progress tend to focus on the railway in his works and bypass another symbol of constant movement: the river. By scrutinizing how Dickens connects a river with the individual and social improvement of characters in the two chosen novels, I would like to find out what progress means for Dickens and what kind of progress Dickens (dis)approves of. I speculate that the river, with its continuous flow and tranquilizing power, best represents Dickens's response to the strengths and weaknesses of industrial England. The third section of this project examines Gaskell's representations of the sailor and the sea in Mary Barton and Sylvia's Lovers. On the face of it, with the former's vivid depictions of factory workers and the latter's narrative focus on a coastal town in Northern England, these two novels support the common consensus that Gaskell is an industrial and provincial novelist. By studying how the sea and its impact on human beings infiltrate these two novels, I plan to demonstrate that these two texts are more sophisticated than the labels of an industrial and a provincial novel can accommodate. By analyzing how sailors in these two texts traverse the land and the sea, literally and symbolically merging these two realms as they go along, I would like to uncover the extent to which Gaskell's maritime visions shape her concern for industrial/provincial England. | |
