厄普代克的女性小说

Updike's Feminist Novels

厄普代克之所以创作女性小说,是为了平息女性主义批评家对自己的不满。在女性小说中,他探讨了"女性与权力"、"女性与家庭"以及"女性与艺术"的关系,具有相当的反思性和独特性。但整体而言,厄普代克的女性小说在女性文学史上很难成为标志性之作,毕竟,女性小说不是厄普代克最擅长的题材。

In order to pacify feminist critics, John Updike wrote feminine novels, in which he discussed the relationship between women and power, women and family, as well as women and art, with their unique and reflectional values. But as a whole, his feminine novels have hardly become monumental works in the history of feminist literature because after all feminist fiction was not his strength.
