社会历史批评视野下王尔德童话研究

A Study on Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales from the Perspective of Sociohistorical Criticism

奥斯卡·王尔德是19世纪唯美主义代表人物,以其剧作、诗歌、童话和小说闻名。评论家通常从唯美主义的角度分析王尔德的童话,却很少关注其背后隐藏的社会历史背景,如政治思想和王尔德个人经历。本文从社会历史角度,将童话故事与历史背景结合,从影射历史,影射自我和在文本中寻求平衡三个方面分析王尔德的童话,从而理解王尔德创作的目的,证明王尔德并不仅仅是一个只注重外表的唯美主义者,他的作品中充满了对下层人民的同情和民主共和的向往。

Oscar Wilde, a representative of the nineteenth Century aestheticism, is famous for his plays, poetry, fairy tales andnovels. Critics usually analyze Wilde＇s fairy tales from the perspective of aestheticism, but pay little attention to the social andhistorical background, such as the political thoughts and Wilde＇s personal experience. This thesis tries to analyze Wilde＇s fairy talesfrom the perspective of sociohistorical criticism so as to understand the purpose of Wilde＇s creation, and then proves that Wilde is nota aestheticist who only focuses on the appearance. His work is full of sympathy for the lower-class people and yearning for thedemocratic republic.
