毛姆小说双重风格的成因及文化思考

The Cause of Formation and Cultural Thinking of Maugham's Double Style in Novels

毛姆小说具有现实主义与现代主义两重特性,这种风格的形成既与其出生后受到英法两种文化与两种文学流派的影响有关,又与其生活在西欧资本主义社会大变革时期有关;此外,也与毛姆自身不停地探索人生的意义,力图达到精神世界的满足有关。毛姆希望通过探索其他的文化现象解决困扰他的信仰问题和人生意义问题,并进行了深层次的文化反思。

Maugham’s novels are characterized by both realism and modernism. The formation of this style is related to the influence of the two cultures and schools of literature after their birth. It also has something to do with Maugham’s constant exploration of the meaning of life and the satisfaction of the spiritual world. Maugham hopes to solve the problems of belief and meaning of life by exploring other cultural phenomena, and makes a deep cultural reflection.
