摘要
英国当代作家A.S.拜厄特的小说《巴别塔》,从"语言"的角度描写了20世纪60年代中期英国社会纷繁复杂的历史风貌。它以丰富的文学想象历史性地"再现"了当时语言与现实之间关系的变迁,以及由此带给社会和个人生活的影响。本文围绕小说的中心意象,即古老的圣经典故"巴别塔",解读它如何通过当时盛行的语言危机,重构60年代英国从社会思想观念到个人生存状态的混乱无序。
A.S.Byatt's Babel Tower describes,from the perspective of language,the complicated historical scene of Britain in the mid-1960s.With abundant literary imagination,it 'represents' historically the shifting relation between language and reality,and its effect upon society and individual existence.This paper,based on its central biblical myth of Babel Tower,attempts to interpret how the novel reconstructs,through the prevailing language crisis at that time,the chaotic existence of British society and individual life in 'the sixties.'
