戴维·洛奇传记小说中“作者的回归”

“The Return of the Author” in David Lodge’s Biographical Novels

'作者之死'的实质是否认作品中作者的'在场',剥夺作者对文本的控制权与解释权。在传记小说中,戴维·洛奇以作者身份、批评者身份进入小说文本,以彰显作者'在场';洛奇还把与小说主人公'对话'的'前传记'过程写入小说,成为小说文本的重要组成部分。洛奇在传记小说文本中前景化了作者的编辑、写作、评论等行为,有力回应了现代批评理论对作者权威的否定,从而实现了'作者的回归'。

The essence of'the death of the author'is to deny the author’s'presence'in the work,and to deprive the author of the right to control and interpret the text.In the biographical novels,David Lodge enters the novels as the author and critics to highlight the author’s presence;Lodge also writes the'prebiographic'process of'dialogue'with the protagonist of the novel into a novel and becomes an important part of the text.In his biographical novels,Lodge foregrounds the author’s acts of editing,writing,commenting and so on,and responds strongly to the denial of the author’s authority by modern critical theories,thus realizing'the return of the author'.
