奥斯丁小说:一次叙事的革命

Austen's Novels:A Revolution in Narration

奥斯丁小说的崛起,本质上是一次叙事革命,改变了传统的历史叙事建构。奥斯丁小说有自己鲜明的特色,题材开口小,偏爱凡人小事,既是对现实问题的关怀,又能于平凡处见真知;题材的特殊处理,使故事的发展绕过所有人的意料,又恰在情理之中;题材的选择与处理,取决于创作者对生活的态度。这三点构成了小说叙事革命的主要内容。

The rise of the novel by Austen, basically, is a revolution in narration, changing the traditional historical narrative construction. Austen＇ s novels have their own distinctive characteristics, with small themes and a preference for the ordinary people and small matters around her. Not only does she show her concerns over the realities but also she embodies her real sentiments in ordinary things. With the theme uniquely treated, the novels are successfully made beyond expectations but they are in reason. The selection and processing of the theme depends on the writer＇ s attitude towards life. These three points constitute the main elements of narrative revolution in novels.
