摘要

麦肯齐(Mackenzie)的《阿雷蒂纳的罗马》(1660)似乎预见到了剧院的重新开放,事实上,在第1本书的结尾,一群演员“在一个舞台上表演了一个怪物(和一场表演),而Commedians曾经在这个舞台上表演”,叙述者随后总结了在宫殿被忽视的舞台上发生的表演。尽管如此,剧院的重新开放对1660年代出版的新英语散文小说几乎没有直接影响。就散文小说而言,关于复辟戏剧-小说界面的学术批评涉及1670年之后而不是之前的时期。然而,如果对交叉区域进行调查,就会出现一系列截然不同的孤立实例;从玛格丽特·卡文迪什对她当代戏剧的评论到受戏剧设计启发的事件。因此,本文试图探讨英国复辟初期出版的新小说中戏剧和戏剧的存在。第一部分通过对对话、书信和独白、历史小说和第一人称叙事等文学批评中提出的问题,对这一文本语料库中的戏剧指纹进行了全面的考察。第二部分指出了高级浪漫小说中的情节,在这些情节中,惊奇不再是由魔法、魔法或任何其他超自然干预引起的,而是由精心策划的舞台效果和装置引起的。复辟初期的浪漫小说作家为英国小说的发展做出了贡献,他们根据新兴的科学文化,让人物的惊奇时刻更加壮观,让读者更加可信。

Dramaturgy and the Plausible Wonder in Restoration Fiction, 1660–1670
Mackenzie’s roman-à-clef Aretina (1660) seems to foresee or, indeed, to capture the reopening of theatres when, at the end of Book 1, a group of actors present a monster (and a show) “upon a stage, whereon the Commedians used to act,” and the narrator subsequently summarises the performance taking place on the palace’s neglected stage. Nevertheless, the reopening of theatres had little or no immediate influence on the new English prose fiction published in the 1660s. As far as prose fiction is concerned, scholarly criticism about the Restoration theatre–novel interface addresses the period after—not before—1670. Yet, if areas of intersection are investigated, then a spectrum of quite different, isolated instances will emerge; from Margaret Cavendish’s remarks on her contemporary plays to events inspired by theatrical contrivances. This article therefore seeks to explore the presence of theatre and dramaturgy in the new English fiction published in the early years of the Restoration. The first part offers a comprehensive survey of theatrical thumbprints in this corpus of texts by considering the issues raised in literary criticism on the topic, such as dialogues, epistles and soliloquies, historical novels and first-person narratives. The second part pinpoints the episodes in high romances where wonder is no longer caused by magic, enchantment or any other supernatural intervention, but arises from calculated staging effects and devices. Authors of romances in the early years of the Restoration period contributed to the development of the English novel by making the moments of wonder more spectacular for characters, and more credible for readers, in line with the emerging scientific culture.
