在納撒尼爾·霍桑最好的短篇《小夥子布朗》(Young Goodman Brown)里,霍桑寫了早年的新英格蘭,故事主人公去出席在半夜舉行的魔鬼聚會,發現在座的不僅有鎮上所有德高望重的人,甚至還有他的妻子費思...
書的主題包括人性的好與壞(似乎每本小說都提到這個)。
正如霍桑的大部分小說一樣,《小夥子布朗》這部小說自始至終充滿了晦暗、神秘的意象。本文對這種神秘、晦暗的意象進行了雙重解讀:一方面,這體現了霍桑深受清教思想和超驗主義哲學影響的矛盾思想;另一方面,這也反映了霍桑的創作傾向與寫作特色。
霍桑(1804~1864)
Hawthorne,Nathaniel
美國小說家。1804年7月4日生於馬薩諸塞州塞勒姆鎮一個沒落世家,1864年5月19日卒於新罕普郡的普利茅斯。4歲喪父,1821年由親戚資助進入博多因學院。1825年畢業後回到塞勒姆從事寫作
。曾自費出版長篇小說《范肖》,發表很多短篇作品,出版短篇集《古宅青苔》、《雪影》等。他的短篇小說大都取材於新英格蘭的歷史和現實生活,著重探討人性和人的命運 ,帶有較濃重的宗教氣息和神秘色彩。名篇《小夥子布朗》、《教長的黑紗》等揭示人人皆有的隱秘的罪惡和人的必然的孤獨處境。一些故事反映了作者對理性、科學和技術進步的懷疑�少數作品正面表達了他的理想,如《石面人像》。
1836年和1846年兩度在海關任職 ,1841年參加超驗主義者創辦的布魯克農場。1842年後結識了作家愛默生、梭羅等。1848年因政府更迭失去海關職位,後專心寫作,完成了他最重要的長篇小說《紅字》。小說取材於殖民地時期的新英格蘭生活,主人公是因犯加爾文教派所嚴禁的通姦罪而被標上紅字示眾的少婦白蘭。作者細致深入地揭示人的內心沖突,探討了種種有關罪惡和人性的道德、哲理問題,對幾個主要人物,如在磨難和贖罪中走向自新的海斯特·白蘭,被良心、信仰和愛情苦苦折磨的狄姆斯台爾牧師,以及白蘭的丈夫、一心謀求報復的羅傑,都有入木三分的描寫。小說以監獄和玫瑰花開場,以墓地結束,充滿豐富的象徵寓義。隨後發表的《帶有七個尖角閣的房子》講述品恩欽家族的祖先謀財害命而使後代遭到報應的故事,反映了早期美國社會中的血腥掠奪,以及作者對人的罪惡(特別是祖先的罪過)的異常關注。另一部小說《福谷傳奇》以布魯克農場的烏托邦嘗試為題材,表達了一種失望情緒和對狂熱激進的改革者的厭惡。
霍桑於1853年被任命為駐英國利物浦的領事 。1857年後他僑居義大利,創作了另一部探討善惡問題的小說《玉石雕像》。此後他回國定居康科德,1864年去世時留下4部未完成的長篇小說。
霍桑把自己的小說稱為心理羅曼史。他潛心挖掘隱藏在事物背後的不易覺察的意義,作品想像豐富,結構嚴謹。新英格蘭的清教傳統對他影響極深。他思想保守,對生產發展和技術進步有抵觸情緒,對社會改良持懷疑態度,對當時蓬勃開展的廢奴運動不很理解。霍桑思想和藝術中「陰暗」的一面在現代西方人中喚起了很大共鳴。 簡.愛生存在一個父母雙亡,寄人籬下的環境。從小就承受著與同齡人不一樣的待遇:姨媽的嫌棄,表姐的蔑視,表哥的侮辱和毒打......然而,她並沒有絕望,她並沒有自我摧毀,並沒有在侮辱中沉淪.所帶來的種種不幸的一切,相反,換回的卻是簡.愛的無限信心,卻是簡.愛的堅強不屈的精神,一種可戰勝的內在人格力量.
不幸,在學習生活中,簡.愛仍然是承受著肉體上的受罰和心靈上的催殘.學校的施主羅可赫斯特不但當著全校師生的面詆毀她,而且把她置於恥辱台上示眾.使她在全校師生面前丟盡了臉.但簡.愛仍堅強不屈,化悲憤為力量,不但在學習上飛速進步,而且也取得了師生們的理解.
不久,簡.愛又陷入了愛情的旋渦.個性及強的她同樣保持著個人高貴的尊嚴,在情敵面前顯得大家閨秀,毫不遜色,對於英格拉姆小姐的咄咄逼人,她從容面對.
同樣, 在羅切斯特的面前,她從不因為自己是一個地位低賤的家庭教師,而感到自卑,她認為他們是平等的.不應該因為她是僕人,而不能受到別人的尊重.也正因為她的正直,高尚,純潔,心靈沒有受到世俗社會的污染。使得羅切斯特感到自慚性穢,同時對她肅然起敬,並深深地愛上了她。他的真心,讓她感動,她接受了他.後來,簡.愛發現羅切斯特已有了妻子,她的自尊自重再次出現,毫不猶豫地離開了他,她對愛情的專一,讓我敬佩.
最後,簡.愛得知,羅切斯特為了拯救在活中的妻子不幸雙目失明.軀體嚴重殘疾,完全喪失了生活能力,而同時又妻亡財毀.簡.愛全身心的愛再次投入了他的懷抱......

seeing God in his creation, and not only as the Creator. Knowledge and insight could be obtained through intuition. Though the flourish of this trend only lasted about 10 years, the influence of Transcendentalism was pervasive and far-flung; many American writers succeeded Emerson and published their transcendental works: Henry David Thoreau[11] and Margaret Fuller[12]. Examples of the spirit of transcendentalism can be seen continuing into the 20th century. Walt Whitman claimed transcendentalism lid him in the writing of Leaves of Grass; more than likely, Emily Dickinson could have said the same about her poetry. Nathaniel Hawthorne, although never fully accepting the principles of transcendentalism, was profoundly affected by it.
Realism is not a novel term in literature. Early back to Dickens time, many European Realists committed themselves to 「faithful representation of the reality」 and established a great many vivid characters. However, this term was endowed with new meaning in American literature. It encompasses the period of time from the Civil War to the turn of the century ring which William Dean Howells, Rebecca Harding Davis, Henry James, Mark Twain[13], and others wrote fiction devoted to accurate representation and an exploration of American lives in various contexts. As the United States grew rapidly after the Civil War, the increasing rates of democracy and literacy, the rapid growth in instrialism and urbanization, an expanding population base e to immigration, and a relative rise in middle-class affluence provided a fertile literary environment for readers interested in understanding these rapid shifts in culture. It would apprehend in all particulars the connection between the familiar and the extraordinary, and the seen and unseen of human nature[14]. Again, Realism in America developed into a new phase: Naturalism[15]. Despite its clear heritance for Realism, Naturalism is more of a new trend distinctly different. Both Naturalism and Realism excel in truthful descriptions of life, while Naturalism implies a philosophical position that human beings can be studied through their interrelation with surroundings. The motif of Naturalism is human beings instead of incidents. In some sense, Naturalistic novels are more real than Realism, for their descriptions and concerns are more life-like: their settings common and unpleasant, their characters inferior and less heroic. Characters do not have free will; external and internal forces, environment, or heredity control their behavior and pessimism e to the pressure of material society is prevailing. Representatives of this phase are Frank Norris (1870-1902 Moran of the Lady Letty published in 1899); Theodore Dreiser (1971-1945 Sister Carrie in 1900); Jack London (1876-1916 The Call of the Wild in 1903); Stephen Crane (1871-1900 The Red Badge of Courage); Edith Wharton (1862-1937 The House of Mirth in 1905); Ellen Glasgow (1874-1945 Barren Ground in 1925)[16].
With the accrual possibility of global cultural intermingle, modern society is no longer developing in a hermetic environment; modern literature is especially so. When touching upon Modernism, people usually perceive European and American Modernism as a whole. Here we put our focus on the proper characteristics of American Modernism. When Europe was bemisted in world wars, American economy, on the contrary, was developing by leaps and bounds; therefore, instrialization of America was far more complete and downright than European continent. The pressure of highly instrialized society and diversified culture brought by immigrants strengthened people』s zest and determination to break away from the old social norms and an equally enthusiastic search for the real meaning of life. Many new terms suddenly sprout out: 「Lost generation」, 「hippies」, etc. serve as a proclamation of independence from the past traditions. American modernists, as profound and abstruse as their European contemporaries, are undoubtedly more comprehensive and diversified. Writers of this phase created many immortal masterpieces: F. Scott Fitzgerald[17] summarized the experiences and attitudes of the decade in his The Great Gatsby (1926); Ernest Hemingway explored eternal question of life and death in his Farewell to Arms (1929) and The Sun Also Rises (1926); Henry James displayed themes of morality in The Portrait of a Lady (1881). At the same time, literature concerning minorities, American blacks, Judaism, etc. also starts glittering. Literature has entered a diversified age.

H. 求一篇1500詞左右的英文科幻小說
Though this is a relatively short collection of stories, the strength of the tales inside it is such that they will leave the reader with flashbacks and images for days afterwards. They did me. In fact, days after reading I still remember vividly parts of its contents.
The fourteen stories included vary in scope, size and length. The book starts strongly with 態est New Horror?/I>, which deals with the premise of Eddie Carroll, a jaded horror story editor who is sent a story so memorable that it jolts him out of his malaise. The problem is that the story, 態uttonboy?/I>, is so horrific that many are sickened by it. Nevertheless, the editor sets off to find the mysterious writer, Peter Kilrue, and the story ends with something not expected. This was a very strong tale ?filmic, for reasons that are best left until you抳e read the story, and references that a fan will get.
Reminiscent in tone of Bradbury and Serling, and another famous author more contemporary, this is a collection marinated in genre and societal references; the societal references help create that feeling of normality in stories that are anything but; the genre references, which though not necessarily important to get to enjoy the stories, add another dimension to their narrative.
Fritz Leiber once pointed out that the scary things are not always gothic castles and ghostly spectres, but the unusual things that are part of our normal everyday world. This is something that Joe has clearly understood here. Part Horror, part 1950抯 SF B-movie, part surreal fantasy, the collection covers a broad range with skill, humour and, hell, an empathy for the genre抯 long history.
There are common themes throughout the book. Most of the stories are interwoven around familial relationships?the bonds between mothers/fathers and their daughters/sons - and peer friendships, between the main character and their friends.
With such a variety of interests, not all of the stories worked for me as well as others. Least successful, though still pretty good, was You Will Hear the Locust Sing, a story with a Bradbury-esque title that clearly highlights a respect for the 1950抯 B-Movies of mutant insects. Though initially amusing, by the end it was a little disappointing. Similarly, The Black Phone was a little creepy, though a weaker effort in such a strong collection. With a Weird Tales type ending that Richard Matheson would be proud of, though strong in feel, this one seemed a little too obvious to me.
My 'weirdness award' goes to My Father抯 Mask, which I抦 not sure I still understand, though it is very unsettling to read. Rather Wicker Man to me.
Having said this, most of the stories are very strong. Most successful to me were Voluntary Committal, (the final novella in the book which sympathetically deals with Nolan Lerner抯 brother, Norris, a boy with Aspberger抯 Syndrome, who has a connection with The Twilight Zone), and in a Tales from the Crypt-type tale, Last Breath, which deals with a visit to a very unusual museum. I also really enjoyed The Cape, a story about Eric抯 particular piece of clothing with a special power (or is it just self-belief?)
There are many stories like that in this book. It is a book that reads with deceptive ease, yet is supremely adept at creating ghosts. To illustrate this, Dead-Wood is a story that, in a page-and-a-half, creates an intriguing 憌hat-if?that is simultaneously beautiful, creepy, and haunting.
All good; but perhaps the biggest surprise to me was the story Pop Art, which deals with the story抯 nameless central character and his relationship with his inflatable schoolfriend, Arthur Roth. (Pop Art, get it?) On first reading, the story reads as allegorical whimsy. It takes a writer of skill, which Hill clearly is, to turn that around so that the end of the story is a powerfully moving one. Forget the practical impossibility here ?Joe makes the reader forget the impracticality to create this story with an ending that is almost painful to read.
To summarise, in this book Hill manages to combine hometown dreams and ambitions with the reality of failure, pathos, horror, humour and B-movie kitsch; all of which is achieved with surprising aplomb and an ease and skill that belies this being just labelled as 'an author抯 first book'.
Let's go further than that. Many other long-published authors would kill to be as good as just one of these stories ?it抯 that good. And one of the best story collections I抳e read in years.
Haunting, resonant, melancholic ?a collection that richly deserves its awards.
