成就与缺憾的反思——《阁楼上的疯女人:妇女作家与十九世纪文学想象》论略

A Reflection on the Achievements and Defects of The Madwoman in the Attic:The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination

《阁楼上的疯女人》从禁锢—作者身份焦虑—应对策略这一路径出发,展开了对19世纪英美妇女文学的综合研究,同时高度重视作家的心理状态和潜意识对文本结构、人物、意象等的影响,将文本细读与精神分析、神话原型批评等融于一炉;但其将作品表层与深层结构作二元机械对立,并过分强调作家与文本中角色、文本中主人公与次要人物之间对应关系的独断、机械之处与其他盲点,亦可为中国女性主义文学批评的健康发展提供借镜。

From the perspective of imprisonment-anxiety of authorship-strategies, The Madwoman in the Attic ： The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination offers a comprehensive study on 19^th century Anglo-American women＇s literature. It highly values the influence of writers＇ psychological situation and subconsciousness on textual structures, characters, images, etc., and combines close-reading of texts with psychological analysis, Myth and Archetypal Criticism. But it also exposes some defects, including the binary opposition of facial and deeper structures of literary works, etc. Its achievements and defects mentioned above would be of important reference to the healthy development of Chinese feminist literary criticism.
