20世纪英国小说鸟瞰

A Bird-Eye Survey of the Novels of the 20th Century England

20世纪英国小说犹如钟表的摆,在现实主义与现代主义两种倾向之间有三次较大的摆动。这是该时期英国小说发展史上一个鲜明的特点。现实主义与现代主义在三次碰撞的过程中相互渗透,彼此融合,结果两者汲取了对方的长处,适应了时代的变化,从而得到了充实、丰富与发展。

The novels of the 20th century England, just like a clock pendulum, made three major swings between the two inclinations of Realism and Modernism, which marked a distinctive feature in the development of English novels during that period. In the process of the three collisions, Realism and Modernism permeated and blended each other. As a result, each drew advantages from the other and both adapted to the changes of the times, thus enriching and developing themselves.
