赫尔曼·麦尔维尔短篇小说的真实性建构

The Truthfulness in Herman Melville's Short Stories

赫尔曼·麦尔维尔创作生涯的第二阶段以短篇小说为主,在这一阶段,麦尔维尔的创作风格由早期的浪漫主义逐渐转向现实主义,他在相对较短的篇幅里,更为集中地体现了他对特定社会问题的剖析和见解。通过对《文书巴托尔比》、《贝尼托·切雷诺》和《水手比利·巴德》三个短篇名作的分析,探讨麦尔维尔在小说中构建真实的方法,其中包括象征手法的使用,对"人性化管理"、"种族优越论"、"司法公正"等谎言的批判以及有别于全知全能的叙述方式。以此构建起来的真实是麦尔维尔短篇小说长久魅力的所在。
