论伍尔夫《到灯塔去》的时间艺术

Discussion on time art in To the Lighthouse

弗吉尼亚.伍尔夫是意识流小说的代表人物,《到灯塔去》是其代表作之一。作者将物理时间和心理时间相结合使用,使作品的时间结构呈现为精妙新颖的同心圆式结构。通过分析伍尔夫在该作品中对时间的运用和安排,挖掘出主题内涵——对生命岁月的追寻,通过记忆来挽回失去的韶华,贮存生命的真实。

To the Lighthouse,one of the many outstanding creations by Virginia Woolf,features ingenious representa- tion of stream of consciousness. In the work, concentric circle structure was adopted to deal with the relationship be- tween clock time and psychological time so as to form a cyclic construction and an alternating rhythm of narration which hinge on the theme closely. By analyzing the use and arrangement in the work, this paper digs the theme conno- tation pursuit of life;and by remembering the losing time, this paper records the truth of life.
