夏洛蒂·勃朗特与鸦片

Charlotte Bront? and Opium:Another Perspective

在19世纪的英国文学中,鸦片是一个颇为常见的意象。鉴于近年有研究将夏洛蒂·勃朗特同鸦片甚至鸦片战争相勾连,本文在阅读相关文本、传记与批评后,分析鸦片在19世纪英国引起的争议,并进而探讨柯尔律治、德·昆西和夏洛蒂对鸦片的不同态度。作者希望结合文学文本的细读与社会语境的研究,对如上问题给出具有补充意义的理解。

Opium was quite a common image in 19th-century English literature.Triggered by some recent research focusing on the relationship between Charlotte Bront? and opium/the opium wars,the paper presents the debates over the issue of opium in the 19th-century England and discusses the different attitudes taken by Coleridge,De Quincey and Charlotte Bront?.Combining a close reading of literary texts with a careful interpretation of the social context,it aims to provide a complementary understanding of these issues.
