Gothic Nature Writing in Herman Melville's Moby Dick

分析了麦尔维尔在《白鲸》中运用的哥特式自然书写,认为这种自然书写显现出作者对19世纪美国工业化时期自然生态文明和人类道德文明双重恶化的忧虑意识。指出这种哥特式自然书写也是麦尔维尔用来构建美国民族文化与文学的重要形式,表现了他对美国民族文化和美国民族文学自觉的责任意识。

The gothic nature writing in Moby Dick is analyzed as a means by Melville to reflect his consciousness of anxiety about deterioration of the natural ecology and the social morality during the period of American industrial development in the 19th century. This gothic nature writing is also an important means used by Melville to construct the American ethnic culture and literature and show his sense of duty in self-determining them.
