摘要
本文从重写策略及当代经典重写意义出发,探究圣奥宾的《邓巴尔》对莎士比亚《李尔王》的小说重写。作者在细致分析小说中悲剧人物、场景和事件后指出,莎剧批评给予《李尔王》丰富多重的诠释,也带来诸多开放的问题,而重写最有启发性的揭示在于:文学作品和现实世界产生各种纷繁复杂的联系,后者在被前者书写和重构的过程中,并不能由此得以闭合、有序、稳固地安排,而是随着人们的阅读和接受,作品不断被重新语境化,而在性别、社会、心理、历史等的研究探索中,作品内外的现实也在不断变化,因而我们对待经典改写的态度也不断变得更为包容和开放,并不断发现其无论显在还是潜在的可能性。
This paper is a study of St.Aubyn's 2017 novel Dunbar,an attempt at novelizing Shakespeare's King Lear.The author starts with careful comparison and analysis of the tragic characters,settings and events in both works,and proceeds to point out that criticisms on King Lear offers many open-ended possibilities forrewriting and re-constructing this canonical tragedy,when the re-contextualization of Lear and King Lear bring new insight into the issues of gender,society,psychology and history of the original in the contemporary world.
