7、 摘要论诺桑觉寺的反哥特观念李晓慧诺桑觉寺是奥斯汀的一部著名作品。小说讲述了一位沉迷于哥特小说的天真女孩,把自己想象成作品的女主角,误把小说情节当做真实的生活,经历了一系列的荒谬历险;但她最终走出幻想,学会了分辨哥特小说的荒诞情节和现实生活的区别。小说以反讽的方式批评了哥特小说的可笑和荒诞。本文通过分析该小说对哥特式情节和人物的戏仿以及女主角的哥特式历险,并与当时盛行的哥特小说的典型特征相对比,认为奥斯汀通过诺桑觉寺表达了自己的反哥特观念。关键词:诺桑觉寺;奥斯汀;反哥特CONTENTSAcknowledgementsiiAbstract.iiiAbstract in ChineseivInt

10、ritish literature. She was born on December 16, 1775, at Steventon rectory in Hampshire, England, and died in Winchester on July 18, 1817, and was buried in Winchester Cathedral. Austen lives in a large family with six brothers and one sister. Her father, George Austen was a rector for much of his l
11、ife. Her sister, Cassandra Elizabeth, was her best friend. She was educated primarily by her father and older brothers, and her own reading also helped a lot with her writing. During Austens education and writing life, her father was the most important guide, for he not only provided her with a well
12、-stocked family library, but also supported her writing with much effort. He had created a democratic and easy intellectual atmosphere at home. They often talked about different political or social ideas, and any personal opinions would be accepted and discussed. Jane Austen began to write when she
13、was only about thirteen and the everlasting support of her family was crucial to her development as a professional writer. Austens personal experiences have a great influence on her writing. “Of events her life was singularly barren: few changes and no great crisis even broke the smooth current of i
14、ts course” (James 11). Austens works are usually confined to a limited circle. In a letter to her nephew Edward, Austen made comments on her own work as “how could I possibly join them on to the little bit of Ivory on which I work with so fine a Brush, as produces little effect after much labor?” (L
15、efroy 160). Liu Bingshan appraised that “the comparison is true. The ivory surface is small enough, but the woman who made drawings of human life on it is a real artist” (309). Some critics accuse Jane Austen of writing with a narrow vision, and that her novels are all about love, marriage, money an
16、d rich relations, but Austens works show their values on reflecting the social realities of her day. As Zhang Dingquan and Wu Gang comment in their book that “her Jane Austens unique sensitivity to human emotions, her careful observation made her one of the finest novelists of the age” (202).Austen
17、wrote six complete novels during her literary career. They are: Sense and Sensibility (1811); Pride and Prejudice (1813); Mansfield Park (1814); Emma (1816); Northanger Abbey (1818); and Persuasion (1818). Her literary works have been attracting more and more readers from home and abroad since their
18、 publication. Jane Austen is considered as “a genius that appeals to any generation” (Qiao iv). The British female writer Virginia Woolf said that “of all great novelists, Jane Austen is the most difficult to catch in the act of greatness” (Zhu 5). The work discussed in this thesis is Northanger Abb

20、s to distinguish between the imaginary life in Gothic novels and her own ordinary life situations. Although Northanger Abbey was the first to be completed by Jane Austen, it had neither been given enough attention nor been adequately studied for some considerable time in the past. In fact, Northange
21、r Abbey has its unique research value, particularly the authors attitude towards Gothic novels, which has aroused more and more critical attention and debates in recent years (see Chapter One). This thesis argues that Northanger Abbey shows Jane Austens anti-Gothicism through her satirical criticism
22、 of the prevailing Gothic novels in her times. In addition to Introduction and Conclusion, the thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter briefly introduces Gothic novels, illustrates different viewpoints on the relationship between Northanger Abbey and Gothic novels as discussed by some c
23、ritics and scholars. The second chapter analyses Jane Austens parodic anti-Gothicism by comparing the plot arrangement and characterization of the novel with that of Gothic novels. The third chapter discusses Jane Austens criticism of Gothic novels through focusing on Catherines ridiculous adventure
