摘要
摘要:本文探讨了为什么1905年至1915年间,人们对查尔斯·狄更斯的《埃德温·德鲁德之谜》产生了大量的评论。根据唐·理查德·考克斯(Don Richard Cox)颇具影响力的关于这部小说受欢迎程度的参考书目,我认为狄更斯协会的期刊《狄更斯学派》(Dickensian)通过对《德罗黛安娜》的精心整理,积极培养了一批新的狄更斯读者。通过推行包容性政策,吸引了专业人士、外行读者和学者,狄更斯帮助复兴了一部可能被遗忘的小说。我认为,这种方法今天可能会被模仿,以帮助为丢失的维多利亚时代作品创造批评的典范。
Abetting "Literary Sins": The Dickensian and the Drood Phenomenon
Abstract:This essay examines why the years between 1905 and 1915 generated a massive amount of commentary concerning Charles Dickens's The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Building on Don Richard Cox's influential bibliography of the novel's reception, I suggest that the Dickens Fellowship's journal, the Dickensian, actively cultivated a new audience of Dickens readers through its careful curation of Droodiana. By pursuing inclusive policies that attracted professionals, lay readers, and academics alike, the Dickensian helped resuscitate a novel that might otherwise have been forgotten. Such an approach might be mimicked today, I argue, to help generate canons of criticism for lost Victorian works.
