The Role of"Prejudice"in the Formation of Literary"Classics"——Illustrated by Robinson Crusoe and Foe
When transplanting the philosophical concept of"prejudice"into the literary domain,although the general concept remains largely unchanged,certain issues persist.Simultaneously,the concept of literary"classics"as a pre-modern notion,has faced criticism from modernist and postmodernist perspectives;however,it still retains significance.The role of"prejudice"in the process of literary"classicism"is pivotal but has been inadequately discussed.Therefore,a preliminary clarification of the philosophical-historical context of the"prejudice"concept is essential.History serves as both the premise and product of understanding,being the"historical"that is"to be understood".The examination of literary"prejudice"can be approached from both the perspective of the literary creative subject and the literary receptive subject.The genesis of literary"classics"necessitates an exploration of its underlying causes.Building upon this foundation,this discourse aims to illustrate the role of"prejudice"in the process of literary"classicization,"using examples from the first realistic novel in England,Robinson Crusoe,and its deconstructive counterpart,the novel Foe.Through these examples,the discussion delves into the specific functions of"prejudice"in the process of literary"classicization"and the two potentialities that"prejudice"embodies during this process.
