摘要

摘要:现代评论家对《尤利西斯》中角色布莱恩·特威迪的少校军衔提出质疑,并得出结论,要么乔伊斯有意让这个人冒充前军官,要么特威迪在英国军队的实际军衔是小说中棘手的谜之一,比如在整部小说出版前不久,乔伊斯写信给他的姑姑约瑟芬,说玛拉基·鲍威尔少校是特威迪这个角色的模特。官方记录显示,英国军队从军衔中委任鲍威尔,退休后,南澳大利亚殖民地委任他为全职民兵军官。他以民兵预备役少校的荣誉军衔离开了殖民地。更重要的是,小说的叙述表明,“老特威迪”必须接受女王的委托。特威迪和他的女儿在直布罗陀和维多利亚时代晚期的都柏林的生活与他作为一名士官的身份不相容,无论是“鼓手少校”还是准尉(军士长或乐队指挥)。此外,莫莉·布鲁姆性格的许多方面表明,她的父亲不仅仅是一个普通的士兵。事实上,她有许多典型的工人阶级出身的维多利亚中产阶级女性的令人不快的特征。希望这篇文章能最终回答20世纪70年代末首次提出的布莱恩·特威迪的军衔问题。

Brian Tweedy: An Officer But Not a Gentleman
Abstract:Modern commentators on the Ulysses character Brian Tweedy question his stated military rank of Major and conclude either that Joyce intended this person to have posed as a former commissioned officer or that Tweedy's actual rank in the British Army is one of the novel's intractable enigmas, like "who was M'Intosh?" Shortly before publication of the complete novel, Joyce wrote to his Aunt Josephine that Major Malachi Powell was the model for the Tweedy character. Official records show that the British army commissioned Powell from the ranks, and, in retirement, the colony of South Australia commissioned him as a full-time militia officer. He left such colonial service with the honorary rank of Major in the militia's reserve. More importantly, the novel's narrative shows that "Old Tweedy" had to have held the Queen's commission. The life led by Tweedy and his daughter in Gibraltar and late-Victorian Dublin is incompatible with his being a non-commissioned officer, either a "Drum-Major" or warrant officer (Sergeant-Major or Bandmaster). Furthermore, many facets of Molly Bloom's character show that her father was more than a common soldier. Indeed, she has many of the unpleasant characteristics of stereotypical Victorian middle-class women of working-class origin. Hopefully, this essay answers conclusively the question of Brian Tweedy's army rank first posed in the late 1970s.

期刊介绍: Founded in 1963 at the University of Tulsa by Thomas F. Staley, the James Joyce Quarterly has been the flagship journal of international Joyce studies ever since. In each issue, the JJQ brings together a wide array of critical and theoretical work focusing on the life, writing, and reception of James Joyce. We encourage submissions of all types, welcoming archival, historical, biographical, and critical research. Each issue of the JJQ provides a selection of peer-reviewed essays representing the very best in contemporary Joyce scholarship. In addition, the journal publishes notes, reviews, letters, a comprehensive checklist of recent Joyce-related publications, and the editor"s "Raising the Wind" comments.
