《恋爱中的女人》的地理空间建构及其意义

The Geographic Construction and Meaning in Women in Love

《恋爱中的女人》代表了劳伦斯艺术创作的顶峰,本文运用文学地理学批评方法,在对文本进行解读分析时发现:作家在为小说人物活动选取的自然地理场景方面有着独到之处:即以自己熟悉的家乡那一片美丽的湖畔山水和曾去旅行经历过的阿尔卑斯山为原形地,建构了"威利湖畔""阿尔卑斯雪山"自然地理空间,这两个地理空间的巧妙建构,既为主人公的活动提供了合理的活动场所,又为作家思想主张和艺术构思及审美表达提供了广阔的舞台。这种匠心独运的地理空间的构建使得这部小说具有更高的思想价值和艺术价值。《恋爱中的女人》既是劳伦斯自觉追求艺术真实的表现,也标志着劳伦斯对自然地理环境的描绘以及运用的进一步成熟。
