拜伦长篇叙事诗中的叙述者

The Narrators in Byron's Long Narrative Poems

《恰尔德.哈洛尔德游记》和《唐璜》是拜伦的两部长篇叙事诗。两部作品都以诗歌主人公的游历为线索,以姿肆汪洋的笔墨描绘出18世纪末至19世纪初欧洲社会生活的生动画卷。在两部作品中,叙述者"我"是一个关键的因素,无论"我"是直接现身,还是处于隐蔽状态,在很大程度上体现了作者的写作思路及其美学观。随着拜伦本人人生经验和艺术修养的日臻成熟,其笔下的主人公形象的塑造也日益成熟:从一个悲观厌世的冷漠骑士发展为一个顺应时势的英雄。此外,从《恰尔德.哈洛尔德游记》到《唐璜》,拜伦诗歌作品中的叙述声音经历了从单一到多元的变化,诗歌的叙述层次也渐趋丰富。
