摘要
小说《亚瑟·默文》;查尔斯·布罗克登·布朗(Charles Brockden Brown)的《1793年回忆录》(Memoirs of the Year 1793)以其多条情节主线、令人眼花缭乱的人物阵容和形式的复杂性挑战了读者。这本书的回报是,一位作家将他那个时代最紧迫的问题——有关种族、性别和政治革命的问题——相互联系起来,付出了巨大的努力。在这部小说中,布朗运用了最古老的叙事形式之一——童话,来描述一个最现代的困境:如何适应一个不断变化的世界,在这个世界里,曾经稳定的确定性正在瓦解。
The novel Arthur Mervyn; or, Memoirs of the Year 1793 by Charles Brockden Brown challenges its readers with its multiple plot lines, a dizzying array of characters, and its formal complexity. It rewards them with the energetic effort of one writer to place in relation to one another the most pressing issues of his era, issues concerning race, gender, and political revolution. In the novel, Brown leverages one of the oldest forms of storytelling, the fairy tale, to describe a most modern predicament: how to adapt to a world that is constantly changing and within which once stable certainties are unraveling.
