章节摘录

Narrative is generally classified as a mimetic medium.‘Mimesis’is a termused to describe hterary modes which aim to‘imitate’human thoughts。speech，action and the world in which they take place：drama and narrativewould be more readily recognised as mimetic than would lyric poetry.Giventhe mimetic impulses of narrativ.and Johnson's recognition of the way inwhich narrative presents US with‘History’。it is understandable that studentsexpect to study novels and short stories in ways which accentuate theirrelation to the worldly situations which they dramatise.For instance.It would appear that such novelsreflect their historical contexts almost transparently.However,approaches to the novel and its contexts which assume that anarrative imitates or simply reflects the times in which it was made encounterobvious difficulties when confronted by certain narrative strategies.Thesechallenging，self,conscious narrative strategies are explored in Chapter 5through Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shah#（an eighteenth-century novel），John Fowles’s The French Lieutenant's Woman，Paul Auster’s City of Glass，and Salman Rushdie’s Midnight's Children（twentieth，century novels）.Thesenarratives playfully expose the limits of mimesis.Although I shall argue thateven playful，sceptical narrative strategies lead the reader back to worldlyinsights into societies and histories——in the case of Midnight's Children tocolonial domination and its resistance——it will be important to demonstratehow these contexts have to be traced through narrative as a complex medium.This remains the case even when narratives appear to be transparentlymlmetle.

•   初级入门阅读，适合初中孩子
•   英语书有点旧
•   一本理论的书 好像教材 各种理论说的很简要
•   导师推荐，说是非常好的一本书。正在研究。
•   enjoy~~~
•   很想了解的东西都有收录
•   全英文，适合学英语的！
•   外教社这样翻译这本书的书名是很丢人的。prose绝不等于汉语的“散文”，prose的意思包括所有非诗歌、非戏剧的连续性文字，本身也包括小说在内。书名是English Novel and Prose Narrative，应该翻译为《英国小说与叙事文学》，因为这里的prose是修饰narrative的，这就不包括史诗和以叙事为主的戏剧。Novel专指中、长篇小说，之所以单独放在书名中是因为书里的确讨论长篇小说比较多，而prose narrative包括了短篇小说和纪实文学（自传、传记、报告文学），后者一般称为non-fiction，即非虚构文学，但也是以叙事为主的。散文在汉语中的意思就完全不同了，不是本书所包括的内容。不知从何时开始，英语的prose被解读为汉语的“散文”，实际上充其量只能是“散文体”而已。以讹传讹，这个翻译问题一直没有得到解决。
•   不适合作为第一本文学理论书。虽说是教材，但是有很多文学理论的专用名词并没有给什么解释，作者在写作过程中有些默认这些行话是读者所熟悉的。另外，文句比狄更斯的难懂。
•   很喜欢这本书，很地道，思路 清晰，内容也比较细，赞！
•   字体很清晰明确 正版的英文原版 质量很好很满意
•   太简单，时候文学入门的人看
