地域·经验·叙事:《赌徒吉顺》和《为奴隶的母亲》再解读

Region, Experience and Narrative: Reinterpretation of Gamber Ji Shun and The Slave Mother

《赌徒吉顺》和《为奴隶的母亲》是写于20世纪20、30年代的典妻题材小说,依照作家的传记性材料从地域文化、个人经验、文本叙事等视角对它们进行再解读:许杰和柔石同为浙东人,相同的地域文化背景孕育出的同题材作品;从创作的无意识动机来看,两篇小说都暗含了作者对自身生活经验尤其是婚恋经验的思考;而在叙事重点和写作风格上两篇小说有些区别,这与两位作家各自的文学交往和所受影响不无关系,他们都受鲁迅和文学研究会影响,但在具体的写作层面,《赌徒吉顺》受创造社尤其是郁达夫的影响更大。
