摘要
身份认同是后殖民研究中十分重要的问题。《眷恋》是英国小说家保罗·司各特最后一部小说,荣获了1977年布克文学奖。小说取材于七十年代,它的价值在于艺术地反思了殖民时期的英印关系对后殖民时期的影响。通过小说中的几个人物,巧妙地体现出这种关系的矛盾冲突。本文将从后殖民主义角度解析女主人公卢西自我身份的迷失和找寻。
Identity is one of the main focuses of postcolonial literature. " Staying on" is the last novel of British novelist Paul Scott,which won the Booker Prize in 1977. The setting of the novel is in 1977,whose value lies in that the novel reflects the influence of relationship between British and India in postcolonial ages from the relationship between British and India in colonial ages. The novel reflects the relationship of contradiction through several characters cleverly. Based on the postcolonial theory,this paper aims to interpret the loss and finding of Luce' identity in the " Staying on".
