摘要

摘要:尽管查尔斯·狄更斯1859年在《利·亨特:抗议》(1859)中提出抗议,但学者们认为,由于对亨特的财务问题感到愤怒,对约翰·狄更斯财务困境的不安回忆,或资本主义理想化,他将亨特戏仿为懒惰、自私的哈罗德·斯金波尔。尽管《荒凉山庄》(1853年)包含了许多关于非洲使命和慈善事业的典故,但斯金波莱从未因亨特著名的非洲血统而受到批评,这在文学界是公开的秘密。在为共同的文学朋友们准备的一个戏仿中,狄更斯可能在“菲兹”的斯坎波尔插图中隐瞒了亨特的种族遗产,而文本典故表明亨特在道德上(和遗传上)与1848年至1849年英属圭亚那劳工罢工中的“游手好闲的黑人”相似,托马斯·卡莱尔在《关于黑人问题的偶尔话语》(1849年、1853年)和《后期小册子》(1850年)中谴责了这一点。

"Keep[ing] the Outward Figure Away from the Fact": Reading Harold Skimpole as a Person of Color in Bleak House
Abstract:Despite Charles Dickens's 1859 protestations in "Leigh Hunt: A Remonstrance" (1859), scholars argue that he parodied Hunt as the indolent, selfish Harold Skimpole due to irritation with Hunt's financial issues, uneasy recollections of John Dickens's financial woes, or capitalist idealization. Although Bleak House (1853) contains multiple allusions to African missions and philanthropy, Skimpole has never been critiqued in relation to Hunt's reputed African ancestry, an open secret in literary circles. In a parody intended for mutual literary friends, Dickens may have concealed Hunt's racial heritage in "Phiz's" illustrations of Skimpole, while textual allusions suggest Hunt's moral (and hereditary) similarity to the "idle Black man" of the 1848–1849 British Guiana labor strike denounced by Thomas Carlyle in "Occasional Discourse on the Negro Question" (1849, 1853) and Latter-Day Pamphlets (1850).
