中国历代小说序跋对《史记》的运用研究

《史记》在中国历代小说序跋中被广泛运用。其运用从汉至清呈增长态势,主要集中于杂录、志怪、传奇、讲史、侠义、烟粉、讽喻等小说文类,而于话本、谐谑、神魔等领域则相对较少。这种状况,与《史记》认同度不断提高有密切关联,也说明《史记》在精神内涵与艺术表现上与前者联系较多,与后者联系较少。运用中,在对《史记》敬仰情绪流露基础上,或以《史记》为据,考证小说成书、内容、存在价值,揭示小说创作精神内涵、艺术风格,或以之为据为小说“梦”“怪”、滑稽书写提供正当性支撑,提出小说阅读审美原则。这些活动进行中,《史记》于小说题材开掘、内涵拓展、笔法孕育、理论生成等贡献可清楚看出。同时,小说,尤其是章回小说较之《史记》重传奇、重虚构、生动形象、文笔铺张扬厉等特征也得到了较充分呈现。

历代小说著录中的史传意识

中国最早对"小说"这种文体进行研究的是史学家。他们在编撰史志目录时,将小说或列入子部,或收入史部。但无论是子部还是史部,均排斥虚构,要求实录。在实录精神的影响下,从东汉时期编撰的《汉书·艺文志》到清乾嘉时期的《四库全书总目》,绝大多数目录中的小说著录均体现出浓厚的史传意识。

历代笔记小说中的茶文化研究

中国茶文化源远流长,茶诗是中国茶文化的主要构成和传播内容之一,然而在历代笔记小说中,很多有关泡茶、品茶、煎茶以及社会各阶层对茶的描述和认识的思想资源,还没有很好地进行整理研究。历代笔记小说作为非主流的文化载体,其中所记载的茶产地、茶品、茶艺、茶道等比之诗文审美化的描写,更具研究传统茶文化的价值,应予以重视。

A Study of Parody in The Adventures of Augie March

The Adventures of Augie March （2006） has been approached from various perspectives by critics since its publication. It has been studied from the point of view of culture, religion, history, modernism, postmodemism, and various schools of literary theories, while the use of parody in this novel was comparatively ignored. Through close reading of the novel, the present study finds that in one of his important novels, The Adventures of Augie March, by the use of parody of Augie＇s opposition to various influences with Jacob＇s fight with God, Saul Bellow successfully presents Augie as an image sticking stubbornly to ＂truth, love, peace, bounty, usefulness, harmony＂ and saying perpetually ＂no＂ to persuaders of all kinds of immoral influences, thus providing a more comprehensive reading of the novel.
