【摘要】：妇女问题是英国维多利亚时代(1832—1901)和美国二十世纪上半叶的重大文化议题之一。乔治·艾略特和薇拉·凯瑟是英语文学史上两位一流的小说家,预示着妇女写作的新时代。身为女作家,她们对妇女的命运给予很大的关注,并将妇女问题作为写作的出发点。在她们最具自传性的小说《弗洛斯河上的磨房》和《我的安东妮亚》中,艾略特和凯瑟呼吁要改善妇女的处境,与针对妇女的根深蒂固的偏见作斗争。在她们生活的各自国家的那个时代,对于妇女的传统的观念正在经受挑战,有关改革妇女地位的法案也在制定中。本文由六部分组成。第一部分是引言,简介历史上的妇女问题和艾略特及凯瑟在妇女文学史中所获得的成就。第二部分扼要论述女性主义文学批评方法以及对两作家的评论综述。第三部分着重论述艾略特和凯瑟生活时代的历史和文化现实中的妇女问题。这部分再次分为两个层次:维多利亚时代英国妇女的生存状况,二十世纪早期过渡时期的美国妇女生存状况。第四部分阐述两部小说中的妇女问题比较。主要围绕着女性自我与社会,妇女与教育,职业和经济,爱情和婚姻这些主题展开论述。通过详尽的比较和分析艾略特和凯瑟就妇女问题所进行的深入思考,作者旨在探求她们的超越和局限处以及对现实的启发意义。第五部分讨论妇女作家和有关女性经验的写作。由三个层次构成:女性经验和妇女写作,人物和作家之间的一致和分歧,她们对于妇女文学的贡献。一个无可辩驳的事实是,在强大的父权主导话语的统治下,长期以来妇女一直处于缄默无言的状态,患了“失语症”。因而妇女写作隐含着推翻父权制文化统治的女性的颠覆性力量。在这个意义上,被拥戴为伟大的、有影响力的艾略特和凯瑟,为追随她们的妇女开辟了道路。结论部分就艾略特和凯瑟对妇女问题的思考展开比较,分析她们观点相似和分歧的原因。由此得出结论,妇女问题并不只是妇女的问题,因为和谐社会的建立需要两性的共同参予。
[Abstract]:The issue of women was one of the major cultural issues in the Victorian era and the first half of the twentieth century in the United States. George Eliot and Vera Cather are two leading novelists in the history of English literature, heralding a new era of women's writing. As women writers, they pay great attention to the fate of women and regard women's issues as the starting point of writing. In their most autobiographical novels the Mill on the Flores and my Antonia Eliot and Cather call for improving the situation of women and fighting the deep-rooted prejudices against them. At a time when they lived in their own countries, traditional notions of women were being challenged and bills were being prepared to reform the status of women. This paper consists of six parts. The first part is an introduction about women's issues in history and the achievements of Eliot and Cather in the history of women's literature. The second part briefly discusses feminist literary criticism methods and reviews of the two writers. The third part focuses on women's issues in the historical and cultural reality of Eliot and Cather's life. This part is divided into two levels: Victorian British women's living conditions, the early twentieth century transitional period of American women's survival. The fourth part expounds the comparison of women's issues in the two novels. It focuses on women's self and society, women and education, occupation and economy, love and marriage. Through the detailed comparison and analysis of Eliot and Cather's deep thinking on women's issues, the author aims to explore their transcendence and limitations and their enlightening significance to reality. The fifth part discusses women writers and writing about women's experience. It consists of three levels: women's experience and women's writing, the consistency and divergence between characters and writers, and their contribution to women's literature. It is an indisputable fact that under the rule of powerful patriarchal discourse, women have long been silent and suffering from aphasia. Therefore, women's writing implies the subversive power of women overthrowing patriarchal cultural rule. In this sense, the great, influential Elliott and Cather opened the way for the women who followed them. The conclusion part compares Eliot and Cather's thinking on women's issues and analyzes the reasons of their similarities and differences. The conclusion is that women's issues are not just women's issues, because the establishment of a harmonious society requires the participation of both sexes.
