浅论理查生的书信体情感心理小说

On Samuel Richardson's Epistolary Novels of Sensibility and Psychology

理查生以《帕米拉》、《克拉丽莎》等为代表的书信体情感心理小说为欧洲近代长篇小说的发展奠定了基础。它扫除了传奇小说的巨大影响，以个人日常生活为表现对象，以爱情、婚姻、家庭问题为核心，开始了１８世纪的文学革命。它一方面以质朴、真实和准确的生活细节为小说的描写内容，另一方面又使小说的重心从外部转向内心世界，集中刻画情感和心理。书信体小说形式也因理查生的创作而得以确立和趋于完善。

Samuel Richardsons epistolary novel of sensibility and psychology,represented by Pamela, Clarissa,etc.,laid a foundation for the later development of modern European novels.It eliminated the powerful influence of the romance by taking personal everyday life as the object of literature and problems concerning love,marriage and family as the core of novel,and hence initiated a literary revolution in the 18th century.It made plain,genuine and accurate details of life the element of description on the one hand,and shifted the focus of novel from the outer world to the inner world of sensibility and psychology on the other.The epistolary novel as a literary form also established itself and achieved perfection through Richardsons creations.
