在纳撒尼尔·霍桑最好的短篇《小伙子布朗》(Young Goodman Brown)里,霍桑写了早年的新英格兰,故事主人公去出席在半夜举行的魔鬼聚会,发现在座的不仅有镇上所有德高望重的人,甚至还有他的妻子费思...
书的主题包括人性的好与坏(似乎每本小说都提到这个)。
正如霍桑的大部分小说一样,《小伙子布朗》这部小说自始至终充满了晦暗、神秘的意象。本文对这种神秘、晦暗的意象进行了双重解读:一方面,这体现了霍桑深受清教思想和超验主义哲学影响的矛盾思想;另一方面,这也反映了霍桑的创作倾向与写作特色。
霍桑(1804~1864)
Hawthorne,Nathaniel
美国小说家。1804年7月4日生于马萨诸塞州塞勒姆镇一个没落世家,1864年5月19日卒于新罕普郡的普利茅斯。4岁丧父,1821年由亲戚资助进入博多因学院。1825年毕业后回到塞勒姆从事写作
。曾自费出版长篇小说《范肖》,发表很多短篇作品,出版短篇集《古宅青苔》、《雪影》等。他的短篇小说大都取材于新英格兰的历史和现实生活,着重探讨人性和人的命运 ,带有较浓重的宗教气息和神秘色彩。名篇《小伙子布朗》、《教长的黑纱》等揭示人人皆有的隐秘的罪恶和人的必然的孤独处境。一些故事反映了作者对理性、科学和技术进步的怀疑�少数作品正面表达了他的理想,如《石面人像》。
1836年和1846年两度在海关任职 ,1841年参加超验主义者创办的布鲁克农场。1842年后结识了作家爱默生、梭罗等。1848年因政府更迭失去海关职位,后专心写作,完成了他最重要的长篇小说《红字》。小说取材于殖民地时期的新英格兰生活,主人公是因犯加尔文教派所严禁的通奸罪而被标上红字示众的少妇白兰。作者细致深入地揭示人的内心冲突,探讨了种种有关罪恶和人性的道德、哲理问题,对几个主要人物,如在磨难和赎罪中走向自新的海斯特·白兰,被良心、信仰和爱情苦苦折磨的狄姆斯台尔牧师,以及白兰的丈夫、一心谋求报复的罗杰,都有入木三分的描写。小说以监狱和玫瑰花开场,以墓地结束,充满丰富的象征寓义。随后发表的《带有七个尖角阁的房子》讲述品恩钦家族的祖先谋财害命而使后代遭到报应的故事,反映了早期美国社会中的血腥掠夺,以及作者对人的罪恶(特别是祖先的罪过)的异常关注。另一部小说《福谷传奇》以布鲁克农场的乌托邦尝试为题材,表达了一种失望情绪和对狂热激进的改革者的厌恶。
霍桑于1853年被任命为驻英国利物浦的领事 。1857年后他侨居意大利,创作了另一部探讨善恶问题的小说《玉石雕像》。此后他回国定居康科德,1864年去世时留下4部未完成的长篇小说。
霍桑把自己的小说称为心理罗曼史。他潜心挖掘隐藏在事物背后的不易觉察的意义,作品想象丰富,结构严谨。新英格兰的清教传统对他影响极深。他思想保守,对生产发展和技术进步有抵触情绪,对社会改良持怀疑态度,对当时蓬勃开展的废奴运动不很理解。霍桑思想和艺术中“阴暗”的一面在现代西方人中唤起了很大共鸣。 简.爱生存在一个父母双亡,寄人篱下的环境。从小就承受着与同龄人不一样的待遇:姨妈的嫌弃,表姐的蔑视,表哥的侮辱和毒打......然而,她并没有绝望,她并没有自我摧毁,并没有在侮辱中沉沦.所带来的种种不幸的一切,相反,换回的却是简.爱的无限信心,却是简.爱的坚强不屈的精神,一种可战胜的内在人格力量.
不幸,在学习生活中,简.爱仍然是承受着肉体上的受罚和心灵上的催残.学校的施主罗可赫斯特不但当着全校师生的面诋毁她,而且把她置于耻辱台上示众.使她在全校师生面前丢尽了脸.但简.爱仍坚强不屈,化悲愤为力量,不但在学习上飞速进步,而且也取得了师生们的理解.
不久,简.爱又陷入了爱情的旋涡.个性及强的她同样保持着个人高贵的尊严,在情敌面前显得大家闺秀,毫不逊色,对于英格拉姆小姐的咄咄逼人,她从容面对.
同样, 在罗切斯特的面前,她从不因为自己是一个地位低贱的家庭教师,而感到自卑,她认为他们是平等的.不应该因为她是仆人,而不能受到别人的尊重.也正因为她的正直,高尚,纯洁,心灵没有受到世俗社会的污染。使得罗切斯特感到自惭性秽,同时对她肃然起敬,并深深地爱上了她。他的真心,让她感动,她接受了他.后来,简.爱发现罗切斯特已有了妻子,她的自尊自重再次出现,毫不犹豫地离开了他,她对爱情的专一,让我敬佩.
最后,简.爱得知,罗切斯特为了拯救在活中的妻子不幸双目失明.躯体严重残疾,完全丧失了生活能力,而同时又妻亡财毁.简.爱全身心的爱再次投入了他的怀抱......

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词左右的英文科幻小说
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 态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, 态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.
