摘要
戴维·洛奇的小说作品涉及知识和宗教领域的两大人物群体:学院人物与宗教人物,深刻展现了现代知识分子和天主教徒面临的生存困境与精神危机.洛奇巧妙地将人物群像的整体描绘与个体人物的深入刻画相结合,同时融合了现代主义与后现代主义元素,形成了独具特色的现实主义人物群像艺术.在战后人们信仰与价值衰微的社会语境中,洛奇以机智的隐喻和辛辣的讽刺揭示了战后西方知识界所面临的精神危机.他独特的创作手法成功地将人物群像的复杂性和丰富性融入其小说世界,为读者呈现一个深刻、引人深思的文学景观,展现了作家对西方知识界价值体系困境的深切关切与关注,同时也对我们自身的生活和价值观提出了有益的警示.
Abstract
David Lodge's literary works involve two major groups of characters in the realms of know-ledge and religion:campus characters and religious characters,profoundly showcasing the sur-vival dilemmas and spiritual crises faced by modern intellectuals and Catholics.Lodge skillfully blends the overall portrayal of character ensembles with in-depth individual character delinea-tion,all while incorporating elements of both modernism and postmodernism,culminating in a distinctive form of realistic character ensemble art.Amid the societal context of post-war waning faith and values,Lodge employs clever metaphors and pointed satire to unveil the spiritual crisis afflicting the Western intellectual sphere post-World War Ⅱ.His unique creative approach suc-cessfully integrates the intricacies and richness of character ensembles into his fictional universe,presenting readers with a profound and thought-provoking literary landscape.This demonstrates Lodge's deep concern and attention to the predicaments of the Western intellectual value system while providing valuable warnings for our own lives and values.
