摘要
英国作家乔治·莫尔的长篇小说《伊丝特·沃斯特》给自然主义和维多利亚文学带来了"自由"和"创新"。它以对下层人民的同情和对法律不公正、教会虚伪的抨击显示了超越自然主义的倾向性,走向了更直接、更简洁的现实主义,甚或成了现代女权主义的先驱文本。它还以注入了主观因素的环境描写,以真幻交织、多声部共存的心理描写等印象主义的手法,及综合性的轮回结构,而成为意识流等现代主义文学的先驱。
George Moore＇ s Esther Waters brings “freedom” and “innovation” to naturalism and Victorian literature. The novel expresses a deep sympathy for the people in the lower classes and attacks the injustice of law as well as the hypocrisy of the church. It transcends naturalism, presents a more direct and concise version of realism and even becomes a forerunner of feminist texts. Furthermore, it involves subjective environmental description and psychological description, in which truth and untruth interweave and multiple voices coexist. Together with the cyclic structure and impressionistic techniques, the novel heralds modernist literature such as stream of consciousness novels.
