约翰逊期刊散文中的女性想象

Dramatized Women in Johnson's Periodicals

一般读者的印象,约翰逊嫌忌女性。传统的两性观念在他身上依然起作用,不过在期刊散文《漫步者》中,约翰逊满怀同情地刻画了日常生活中形形色色的妇女。将《漫步者》置于18世纪英国社会的历史语境中,探究其中有关女性的热点话题:她们在消费追求和欲望表达中的尴尬境遇,在婚姻和教育上面临的种种束缚。约翰逊深知社会对女性的偏见和不公,坚持不懈地倡言女性教育。

Samuel Johnson＇s misogyny is firmly established in the public mind.While it is undeniable that Johnson shares his contemporaries＇ firm ideas on the demarcation between the genders,he also offers a great variety of representations of women and displays considerable sympathy towards them,especially in the Rambler.The author places Johnson＇s Rambler in a broader historical context,with the aim of exploring widely discussed topics concerning women and their issues.
