摘要
在英国维多利亚时期",家庭女教师"一方面是富有中产阶级效仿贵族阶级的身份象征,另一方面她们又被中上层阶级视为家庭中的"他者"。结合文本创作的历史和经济语境可知,夏洛蒂·勃朗特和安妮·勃朗特的作品《简·爱》和《阿格尼斯·格雷》在叙述家庭女教师边缘化身份的同时,有意让她们以反观的方式消解英国社会的权威意识,通过其婚姻思想的书写反驳彼时中上层阶级唯利是图的婚恋观念。勃朗特姐妹借助小说中家庭女教师的身份重构,勾勒出其在19世纪英国时代背景下的独特文化意义,表达了对建构家庭女教师平等身份的期待。
In the Victorian period of England,governesses were on one hand a status symbol of the top middle class who imitated the aristocratic class,and they were on the other hand regarded as"the other"in the family by the middle and the upper classes.Under the historical and economic context in that period,it can be concluded that Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontёand Agnes Grey by Anne Brontёboth described the marginalized governesses,in order to deconstruct the power consciousness in British society and to refute the mercenary opinions on marriage holding by the middle and the upper classes.Through reconstructing the identity of governesses in these novels,the Brontёs showed the unique cultural meaning of governesses in Britain society during the nineteenth century,and expressed the hope of constructing their equal status.
