女人的呐喊——女性主义视角下的英国早期爱情小说

Women′s Cry——Amatory Fiction in the Light of Feminism

在十七世纪末和十八世纪初,英国一些女作家们突破了当时社会对女性的限制和束缚,投身小说的创作,用文学形式表达了女性对父权社会的抗争以及得到平等权利的渴望。可是她们对小说的贡献以及在小说中体现的女性智慧与抗争,却在很长一段时间内遭到忽略和否认。比如,阿弗拉·贝恩、达拉维尔·曼丽和伊莉莎·海伍德所作的爱情小说。女性主义将从爱情小说的三个主要情节,即性角色的转换,誓言的背叛,以及政治反抗中得到具体的体现。

In the late of 17th century and beginning of 18th century, many writers and readers of the English novels are women. These female writers broke the patriarchal social restraints on their sex and start-ed their literary creation of novels. They cried for themselves through the literature form. Therefore, they contributed a lot to the development of the new genre, but their expression of women′s wise and their efforts had been excluded and neglected for a long time, such as amatory fiction of Aphra Behn, Delariv-iere Manley and Eliza Haywood. This paper would present how three main plots- sex role′s transforma-tion, broken vows and political resistance materialize feminism.
