《女房客》中男性气质的渊源与流变

The Origin and Transformation of Masculinities in the Tenant of Wildfell Hall

英国作家安妮·勃朗特的小说《怀尔德菲尔山庄的房客》通过对比女主人公海伦·亨廷顿两段婚姻,不仅展示了从乔治四世摄政时期到维多利亚时期两种截然不同的男性形象,也呈现出社会转型期迥然相异的男性气质。有鉴于此,本文基于男性气质理论视角,重点聚焦亚瑟·亨廷顿和吉尔伯特·马卡姆的男性形象与男性气质,揭示社会转型期男性气质的流变,探究男性气质的形成与社会文化背景、阶级、经济等因素的内在关系。

By comparing the heroine of Helen Huntington’s two marriages,British writer Anne Brontë’s novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall(hereinafter referred to as the“Tenant”)not only presents two distinct male images from Georgian regency to Victorian era,but also shows different masculinities existed during this transitional period.For this very reason,this paper focuses on the male images and masculinities of Arthur Huntington and Gilbert Markham from the perspective of the theory of masculinity.This paper reveals the transformation of masculinity during the so⁃cial transitional period from Georgian regency to the Victorian era,and further explores the internal relationship be⁃tween the formation of masculinity and social and cultural background,class,economy,and other factors.
