  1、Jane Eyre風行的緣故原由

  Jane Eyre(樓主的意思是否是簡·愛)

  V1

  第二段有個單詞 conflate ,其時不熟悉,但這個單詞對懂得標題蠻主要的

  [疑似考古,未確認]

  P1:Jane Bonte的小說在1970-1980上下的年月遭到很大的迎接(popular)並且有個相稱不錯的發賣成就(sale)/很脫銷。有四個緣故原由(factors):

  (1)價錢低(low price);

  (2)重版重印(reprint)了好屢次/炒作/刊行量大;

  (3)很輕易得到(available);

  (4)文學作品的代表(referent to the literature)。

  舉例子:厥後/1990年,有另外一個作者叫Amilia寫了一本書,和簡愛有關/模擬(similarity to)這本書/這個女主角,也被以為將會大賣/因而Amilia的書也很脫銷。(Q4)

  P2:然則(But),Jane的書賣的好更重要的緣故原由是由於作者出版時寫了一個副題目(subtitle)的自傳(autobiography)/用的是筆名/匿名(anonymous),讀者很好奇作者的出身(readers are intrigued by the mysterious identity about the writer),讀者疑惑作者寫女主人公有很大一部門便是在寫本身,由於有許多雷同閱歷的描寫:1、作者和主人公都在一個處所進修過;2、作者和主人公都做過家庭西席(governess)。(Q5) (Q3)

  *****Q1:如下哪一個特色不是致使這個作家開端作品受迎接的緣故原由的?(EXCEPT)

  選項有:

  A、B、C是顯著文章中提到的;

  D:a clue of a social puzzle——有人選這個。

  E:similarity to另外一個作家的作品。——有人選這個

  留意:有人選D有人選E,請確認?

  確認選E,similarity,由於我記得D選項在第二段開首的時刻有提到。比擬肯定。

  本月某狗主:選E。

  本月狗主:選E,肯定。

  **Q2:宗旨題。

  describe an evaluation of the different aspects of the phenomenon/issue

  ***Q3:為何要寫原作者有當過governess?/提到governess的感化?

  誇大作者與書中主人公的類似閱歷/和作者有雷同的閱歷。

  確認。

  *Q4:這個例子(example)的感化?/舉Amilia 這個例子是為何?

  證實原小說受迎接水平大/證實刊行量大頗有影響力。

  確認。

  Q5:subtitle有甚麽感化?

  選項有:

  1、前兩個說證實作者身份與小說主人公甚麽相似

  2、讀者以為小說主人公與作者相似的緣故原由之一

  留意:有人選2,然則說異常不肯定。

  *Q6:厥後為何不受迎接?

  預測是小我的形象在以前有共識,以後不可了,上文已說起。

  備註:

  *文章2/3屏。

  *常識點彌補:

  有另外一個作者叫Amilia寫了一本書,與簡愛有關。——這裏應當說的是‘簡愛’作者夏洛蒂勃朗特的妹妹--艾米麗勃朗特。艾米麗在同時代寫了《咆哮山莊》,亦大受迎接。

  文章第二段描述的工具應當照樣‘簡愛’這本書和其作者夏洛蒂,由於機經中“讀者疑惑作者寫女主人公有很大一部門便是在寫本身,由於有許多雷同閱歷的描寫:1、作者和主人公都在一個處所進修過;2、作者和主人公都做過家庭西席。”——這些都是簡愛的特色。

  配景參考:

  Jane Eyre's currency as a literary referent perhaps helped to keep the novel in the public consciousness and certainly improved its sales throughout the 1850s. As late as 1864 a new novel by Amelia Edwards was said to "remind" the writer "strongly of Jane Eyre." "This announcement alone is a sufficient assurance for the interest of its pages."But the cultural and literary durability of Jane Eyre over the course of the decade can be explained not only as a reflection of the novel's cheapness and widespread availability as a reprint but as a result of the not uncommon conflation of Charlotte Brontë the person with Jane Eyre the literary character. In fact, I want to suggest that the novel's widespread popularity was entangled in this confusion, and that readers' identification with the "autobiographical" subject explains a great deal about the particularly powerful appeal of the novel in the United States. The confusion about the literary status of the novel, which was encouraged by its subtitle, "an Autobiography," reflects the unstable borders separating fiction, biography, and autobiography during this period. As Barbara Hochman has argued, the desire to identify the text with the author may be understood as a specific reading practice of the antebellum period. What she calls "reading for the author" or "friendly reading"—that is, a mode of reading in which "the idea of continuity between literary discourse and authorial presence" is a given—helps explain the identification of Jane with Charlotte. But there is more to the identification of Jane with Charlotte than a conventional assumption of authorial presence; the commingling of the two indicates a degree of closeness to books and to the process of reading that is at once specific to a female reader's experience of Jane Eyre and indicative of broader trends [End Page 121] in female culture that made the experience of books of all kinds particularly important instruments for the development of female subjectivity. The tension between the positive moral effects of reading and the potentially negative ones underlines the extent to which reading, domesticity, and femininity were in tension. And the onus was on books and their authors to demonstrate that the dangerously sympathetic modes of reading in which women engaged (a kind of sympathetic reading practice fueled by the ambiguous genre identification of various texts) be undertaken for moral purposes and with the edification of family, comfort, and the domestic sphere in mind.
