英国儿童海洋小说的道德关怀

Moral Concern in British Sea Novels for Children

英国儿童海洋小说从18世纪的《鲁滨逊漂流记》开始,经过19世纪的繁荣,到20世纪《蝇王》的发表,跨越了三个世纪。这些小说一方面凸显了海洋这一意象、反映了海洋和人类之间的关系,另一方面始终紧扣对少年读者的道德关怀,这正是对英国小说伟大传统的继承,对丰富和发扬这一传统具有重要意义。

Emerging in the 18th century, flourishing in the 19th, and culminating with the publication of William Golding＇s Lord of the Flies, British sea novels for children have a long history of three centuries. Such novels, on one hand, present the image of seas and the relationship between humans and the sea, and on the other hand, always convey a moral concern for children readers, which is an embodiment of the great tradition carried on in British novels.
