Title:: Dialogues between Virginia Woolf and Literary Tradition: Viewed from Her The Voyage Out

摘要:: 通过对文学典故的密集化用,弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫使得小说成为表达其历史与文学观的又一场域。作为一部呈现伍尔夫在其小说初创期质疑与修正文学遗产的作品,《远航》对于考察作家的思想发展有着特殊意义。伍尔夫不仅借与自己同龄的主人公的成长表达了憧憬与梦想,亦与文学传统进行了对话。对《远航》中文学传统与作家的性别意识交互作用关系的辨析,成为理解伍尔夫从父权中心的文学传统中艰难蝉蜕的方式与形态的关键环节。伍尔夫一方面通过抗拒性阅读顽强表达了女性读者的不妥协立场,另一方面又通过对女主人公命运的改写对传统的求婚叙述进行了重构。

Abstract:: Through intensive allusions to literary tradition in her novels, Virginia Woolf turns her novel writings into a new space for expressing her views on history and literature. The Voyage Out, a novel presenting Woolf’s inquiries about and revision of literary heritage in her early writing stage, possesses extraordinary significance for the examination of the development of her literary outlook. In the novel, Woolf not only expresses her own hopes and dreams through telling the growth stories of the heroine who is of the same age as herself, but also holds a dialogue with the literary tradition. Therefore, the analysis of the interaction between the literary tradition and the Woolf’s feminist idea is key to due understanding of how she opposes the patriarchal-centered literary tradition. On the one hand, Woolf expresses her uncompromising standpoints through her critical reading of the literary tradition, and on the other, she reconstructs traditional courtship narrative through the revision of the heroine’s destiny.
