刍议西方文学传统对司各特历史小说的影响

West Literary Tradition's affect on Soctt's Historic Novels

司各特的历史小说有典型的浪漫主义特征,最明显的标志就是虚构。这种特征的历史小说在欧洲文坛出现与西方古老的文学传统一脉相承。可以说司各特正是接过传统,厚积而薄发,才成为具有开创地位的历史小说家的。

Soctt＇ s historic novels reveal typical romantic characteristics. Fancy is the most obvious mark. This feature can be traced to the same origin of ancient literary in Europe. In a sense it is true that Soctt was accepting tradition and became novels of having profound historical significance.
