摘要
詹姆斯的犯罪小说以社会历史为其深厚背景,展示出了通俗题材的严肃境界。正因为如此,用犯罪小说和通俗小说来定位P.D.詹姆斯是远远不够的,詹姆斯的犯罪小说无疑有其独特的、远远超越娱乐性的价值。詹姆斯犯罪小说中一个不应被忽视的价值,就是小说中所表现出的宗教思考。她在小说中表现了当代自由基督教派在信仰方面常常怀有的困惑,并从宗教的角度对现代社会和现代性进行了批判。
The broad social and historical scenery of P.D.James' fiction makes her far from a popular crime novelist.James must also be reckoned as a signif- icant novelist in her own right.As an important Christian writer,James' fic- tion has far profounder moral and religious importance.In her crime fiction, James manifests the perplexity of the contemporary liberal Christians and puts forward harsh criticisms on the modernity and modern society.
