Opposition and Diffusion:Landscape Writing in The Good Earth
Landscapes in literature are often regarded as an expression of subjective experience.The Good Earth,Pearl S.Buck's Nobel Prize winning fiction,contains a large number of rural and urban landscapes.From the perspective of Chinese farmers'experience,Buck portrays the rural landscapes represented by land,and villages and the urban ones by walls.She believes that the former is the spiritual center of Chinese farmers while the latter,composed of various political landscapes,is the representative of decay and alienation,resulting in the imbalance of the farmers'spirit and identity.Therefore,only by returning to the countryside can the farmers be redeemed physically and spiritually.
