图书介绍:英国小说家格雷厄姆·斯威夫特(Graham Swift,1949- )是20世纪80年代以来活跃在文坛的重要作家。他的小说最大的叙事特征是“历史叙事”与“文学叙事”的视域融合。他的历史小说表现出来明显的历史认知危机,而这种危机产生的根源就是传统历史叙事观。宏大叙事是传统历史叙事的根本特征,斯威夫特通过解构宏大叙事、叙说“仿真”的历史动摇了传统历史叙事的本质主义的诉求。穿梭于故事与历史之间、历史编纂元小说、互文性是他建构文本化历史的叙事策略。更为重要的是,斯威夫特在他的著作中经常自觉不自觉地流露出回归“心灵历史”、在“心灵历史”中寻找历史的意义和完整性的人文关怀意识。挖掘其小说中蕴含着的“心灵历史”的意蕴是本著作的亮点所在。斯威夫特在当代文学界占有重要地位,而目前国内外尚无一部系统研究其小说历史叙事的著作,更无学者涉足其心灵历史。鉴于此,本著作具有重要理论与实际应用价值。
