从《侏儒查赫斯》看霍夫曼浪漫主义小说的本质

The Essence of Hoffmann's Romantic Novels Shown in Klein Zaches,genannt Zinnober

《侏儒查赫斯》是霍夫曼文学作品中比较奇特的一部,但却代表了典型的德国浪漫主义小说风格。在遵循以施莱格尔兄弟为代表的德国浪漫主义文学理论基础上,霍夫曼的《侏儒查赫斯》借助于小说的童话风格变形、全新的叙事技巧、怪诞世界的构建、民间文化的融合几个方面,表现出小说家的创新精神和浪漫主义现实主义两重性的小说本质。

As a relatively peculiar novel among Hoffmann＇s literary works, Klein Zaches, genannt Zinnober embodies a typical style of German romantic novels. On the basis of following the German romantic literary theory as represented by the Brothers Schlegel, Hoffmann shows the essence of the novel in his Klein Zaches, genannt Zinnober. In this novel, Hoffmann makes use of the transformation of the fairy - tale style, brand new narrative techniques, the construction of the grotesque world, as well as the mixing of folk cultures. In this way, the novelist＇s creative spirit and the dual characteristics of romanticism and realism are shown.
