Despite a comparatively recent flourishing of postcolonial readings of the novel, criticism of The Mystery of Edwin Drood has been focused predominantly on John Jasper, the respected choir-master and outwardly doting uncle whose opium-fueled fantasies lead, to all appearances, to an earnest, seemingly successful attempt on his nephew’s life. Seething with resentment and frustrated passion, Jasper is a figure of doubleness and repression whose depiction reflects an emerging Victorian interest in the unconscious mind; several biographers and critics have read him as a refracted mirror into Dickens’s own troubled psyche.1 Far less attention has been paid to the eponymous Edwin himself. A self-confessed “shallow, surface kind of fellow” whose early death seems in any case to remove him from the narrative economy (11; ch. 2), Edwin proves less compelling than his tormented uncle. Yet Edwin, I will argue, lies at the center of the novel’s exploration of proto-Freudian notions of consciousness and selfhood. Representative of a character type far more typical of Dickens’s earlier novels, Edwin, in death, suggests the psychological and narrative limits of this model: the surface fellow cannot withstand either a world that demands increasing interiority of its heroes or the villain–protagonist who possesses such complexity. At the same time, Edwin’s disappearance casts into relief the ultimate unfitness of Jasper – and, perhaps, of any other character – to fulfill his vacated place, a position supported by strong hints that Edwin must return in some form before the work of the novel can be completed. As a reminder of a previous phase of Dickens’s career and as a symbolic other half of Jasper’s divided consciousness, Edwin, in death, resists obsolescence and suggests his continuing relevance to models of both narrative and the self.
尽管《埃德温·德罗德之谜》的后殖民时代阅读相对较新,但对他的批评主要集中在约翰·贾斯珀身上,他是一位受人尊敬的唱诗班大师,也是一位表面上溺爱孩子的叔叔,他对鸦片的幻想导致了对侄子生活的认真、看似成功的尝试。Jasper看起来充满了怨恨和沮丧的激情,他是一个双重和压抑的人物,他的描绘反映了维多利亚时代对潜意识的兴趣;几位传记作家和评论家将他解读为狄更斯自身困境心理的折射镜。1对同名的埃德温本人的关注要少得多。Edwin自称是一个“肤浅、肤浅的人”,他的早逝似乎在任何情况下都将他从叙事经济中移除(11;ch.2),事实证明,他没有他备受折磨的叔叔那么引人注目。然而,我认为,埃德温是小说探索原始弗洛伊德意识和自我概念的中心。《死亡中的埃德温》是狄更斯早期小说中更为典型的人物类型的代表,它表明了这种模式的心理和叙事局限性:表面上的人既无法承受一个要求英雄越来越内在的世界,也无法承受拥有如此复杂性的反派主角。与此同时,埃德温的失踪让人们松了一口气,贾斯珀——也许还有其他任何角色——最终都不适合完成他空出的位置,这一位置得到了有力的暗示,即埃德温必须以某种形式回来,小说才能完成。作为对狄更斯职业生涯前一阶段的提醒,作为贾斯珀分裂意识的象征性另一半,埃德温在死亡中抵制过时,并表明他与叙事和自我模式的持续相关性。

The Unknown Adaptation of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens: Amateur Theatre, Film Avant-garde, and the Magic Lantern 查尔斯·狄更斯《圣诞颂歌》的未知改编:业余戏剧、前卫电影和魔术灯

In December 1932, the Rochester Community Players (RCP), one of the oldest continuously operated amateur theatre organizations in America, premiered A Christmas Carol, an adaptation of the famous story by Charles Dickens. This innovative production included scenes “on screen”: Scrooge’s visions of the past were presented as films projected during the performance. These films were made with the involvement of Dr. James Sibley Watson, Jr. and Melville Webber, key figures in the history of American avant-garde cinema. Adaptations of Charles Dickens’s works have become a wide field of study; there are many excellent books and articles on how Dickens has been adapted in theatre and in cinema.1 Some of these works are focused on A Christmas Carol in particular, but none seems to mention the Rochester version. In Dickens Dramatized, by H. Philip Bolton, the fundamental reference for the dramatic versions of Dickens’s works, there is a list of 357 adaptations of A Christmas Carol staged in 1844–1984 (Bolton 237–67), but the RCP adaptation is not included in this list. The same can be said about the list of “Notable Film, Television, and Radio Adaptations of A Christmas Carol” compiled by Richard Kelly (233–37), as well as the more detailed filmography in Fred Guida’s monograph, A Christmas Carol and Its Adaptations (171–232). One might expect that, thanks to the involvement of Watson and Webber, the RCP production would interest historians of the American film avantgarde rather than Dickens scholars. However, although the revolutionary films by Watson and Webber, The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) and Lot in Sodom (1933), have become classics of world avant-garde film, and have
1932年12月,美国历史最悠久的业余戏剧组织之一罗切斯特社区剧团(RCP)首演了根据查尔斯·狄更斯的著名故事改编的《圣诞颂歌》。这种创新的制作包括“在屏幕上”的场景:斯克罗吉对过去的看法在表演期间以电影的形式呈现出来。这些电影是在詹姆斯·西布里·沃森博士和梅尔维尔·韦伯的参与下制作的,他们是美国前卫电影史上的关键人物。查尔斯·狄更斯作品的改编已经成为一个广泛的研究领域;关于狄更斯是如何被改编成戏剧和电影的,有许多优秀的书籍和文章其中一些作品特别关注《圣诞颂歌》,但似乎没有一个提到罗切斯特的版本。菲利普·波顿(H. Philip Bolton)的《狄更斯戏剧化版》(Dickens戏剧化版)是狄更斯作品戏剧版本的基本参考,书中列出了1844年至1984年(波顿237-67年)上演的《圣诞颂歌》的357个改编版本,但RCP改编版本不包括在这个名单中。理查德·凯利(233-37)编撰的“圣诞颂歌的著名电影、电视和广播改编”名单,以及弗雷德·圭达(Fred Guida)的专著《圣诞颂歌及其改编》(171-232)中更详细的电影记录也是如此。人们可能会认为,由于沃森和韦伯的参与,RCP的制作会引起美国电影先锋派历史学家的兴趣,而不是狄更斯学者。然而,尽管沃特森和韦伯的革命电影《厄舍之家的陷落》(1928)和《索多玛的罗》(1933)已经成为世界先锋电影的经典,并有了很大的发展

Biblical Allusion in the Opening Numbers of Three of Charles Dickens’s Serialized Novels 查尔斯·狄更斯三部连载小说开头的圣经典故

Charles Dickens’s allusive and thematic use of the Bible in his novels and other writings has caught critical attention over the past four decades, resulting in studies that either explore his personal belief and his attitude towards religious and theological issues,1 or interpret his texts’ themes, characters, or narratives by examining their connections with biblical counterparts.2 Most recently, Jennifer Gribble’s Dickens and the Bible: “What Providence Meant” (2021) has explored how Dickens engages the Judeo-Christian grand narrative in his novels in dialogue with other contemporary narratives. However, critical examination of biblical allusion in Dickens’s novels has overlooked the aspect of serial publication that shaped how his contemporary readers would have approached and read his works. Each of the three novels under consideration in this article was serialized either in Dickens’s weekly magazine Household Words (Hard Times) or in separate monthly instalments (Bleak House and Little Dorrit). This article aims to theorize both explicit and implicit use of biblical allusion and its workings in the opening numbers of these three novels as structural and thematic tools that help organize oppositional stances embodied in characters and institutions and that foster active reading by drawing upon the reader’s familiarity with the Bible.3
在过去的四十年里,查尔斯·狄更斯在他的小说和其他作品中对圣经的暗指和主题的使用引起了评论界的关注,导致研究要么探索他的个人信仰和他对宗教和神学问题的态度,1或通过检查他们与圣经对应部分的联系来解释他的文本的主题,人物或叙述最近,詹妮弗·格里布尔的《狄更斯与圣经:上帝意味着什么》(2021)探讨了狄更斯如何在他的小说中将犹太-基督教的宏大叙事与其他当代叙事进行对话。然而,对狄更斯小说中圣经典故的批判性研究忽视了连续出版的方面,这方面影响了他的当代读者如何接触和阅读他的作品。本文讨论的三部小说要么在狄更斯的周刊《家常话(艰难时期)》上连载,要么在单独的月度分期(《荒凉山庄》和《小杜丽》)中连载。这篇文章的目的是理论化圣经典故的显性和隐性使用及其在这三部小说开头数中的作用,作为结构和主题工具,帮助组织体现在人物和制度中的对立立场,并通过吸引读者对圣经的熟悉来促进积极的阅读

Developing the “lines”: Politically Significant Landscapes in Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities 发展“路线”:《远大前程》和《双城记》中的政治意义景观

Philip Collins once noted that A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations, two “remarkably different” novels, are “consecutive” and “close together” (“A Tale” 337). In fact, the consecutiveness of the two works deserves closer and fuller examination than Collins suggests, and the present essay teases out thematic and textual links between them, related to the overall idea of the two novels, that have gone unexplored. These links revolve around Dickens’s creation of politically significant landscape motifs, and I argue that the description of the marshes in Great Expectations is a successful development of the earlier novel’s revolutionary landscapes, both in aesthetic and emblematic terms. The marked linearity of the landscapes in the two works, pictorially presented with bruised figures in the foreground, visually represents egalitarian ideals. Yet, at the same time, they both juxtapose the paradoxical, contradictory symbols of the beacon and the gibbet, exposing Dickens’s contentious class-consciousness. The evocation of the marshes in the opening chapters of Great Expectations has always been praised and has prompted much critical interest.1 Notably, Dickens’s much abridged public reading text of the novel (never performed) retains almost all the original paragraphs describing the marshes in chapter 1, suggesting that they perform an essential role in realizing the story’s main idea. Previous studies have examined the function of the marshy landscapes in Pip’s narrative and revealed the ways in which they embody the experience of the “isolated” and “alienated” Dickensian hero (Miller 250–51).2 Concurrently, however, these landscapes evoke a wider concept
菲利普·柯林斯(Philip Collins)曾指出,《双城记》和《远大前程》这两部“截然不同”的小说是“连续的”和“紧密相连的”(《故事集》337)。事实上,这两部作品的连贯性值得比柯林斯所说的更仔细、更全面的研究,本文梳理了它们之间的主题和文本联系,这些联系与这两部小说的整体思想有关,但尚未被探索。这些联系围绕着狄更斯对具有政治意义的景观主题的创作,我认为《远大前程》中对沼泽的描述是对早期小说革命性景观的成功发展,无论是在美学上还是在象征意义上。这两幅作品中明显的线性景观,前景中有伤痕累累的人物,在视觉上代表了平等主义的理想。然而,与此同时,他们都将灯塔和绞刑架的矛盾符号并置,暴露了狄更斯有争议的阶级意识。《远大前程》开头几章对沼泽地的回忆一直受到赞扬,并引起了许多评论界的兴趣。1值得注意的是,狄更斯对小说的公开阅读文本进行了大量删节(从未表演过),几乎保留了第一章中描述沼泽地的所有原始段落,这表明它们在实现故事主旨方面发挥着重要作用。先前的研究已经考察了沼泽景观在皮普叙事中的作用,并揭示了它们体现“孤立”和“异化”狄更斯英雄(Miller 250-51)体验的方式。2然而,与此同时,这些景观唤起了一个更广泛的概念

In his lengthy speech condemning the Absolutist regime of Miguel I of Portugal on 1 June 1829, Viscount Palmerston gave a memorable account (inserted into Hansard by special permission) of the operation of power in human society: “There is in nature no moving power but mind, all else is passive and inert; in human affairs this power is opinion; in political affairs it is public opinion; and he who can grasp this power, with it will subdue the fleshly arm of physical strength and compel it to work out his purpose.” Indeed, those who “know how to avail themselves of the passions, and the interests, and the opinions of mankind, are able to gain an ascendancy, and to exercise a sway over human affairs, far out of proportion greater than belong to the power and resources of the state” (Hansard ) 1668). Palmerston took it for granted that it fell to statesmen to wield such power, but during his lifetime, the rise of what Macaulay a few years later famously dubbed the “Fourth Estate” of the realm saw journalists, newspaper editors, and even writers of popular fiction assuming a similar influence, to the consternation of Establishment figures like Sir James Fitzjames Stephen (1829–94), who felt democratic institutions could be dangerously undermined through being called to account by unelected populist rabble-rousers:
1829年6月1日,在他谴责葡萄牙米格尔一世的绝对主义政权的长篇演讲中,帕默斯顿子爵对人类社会中权力的运作进行了令人难忘的描述(经特别许可插入汉萨德):“自然界中没有移动的力量,只有头脑,其他一切都是被动和惰性的;在人类事务中,这种力量是意见;在政治事务中,它是舆论;谁能掌握这种力量,谁就能用它征服体力的血肉之臂,迫使它实现自己的目的。”事实上,那些“知道如何利用人类的激情、利益和意见的人,能够获得优势,并对人类事务行使影响力,远远超过国家的权力和资源”(Hansard)1668)。帕默斯顿理所当然地认为,掌握这种权力的是政治家,但在他有生之年,几年后麦考利著名地称之为“第四阶层”的国家崛起,记者、报纸编辑,甚至通俗小说作家也受到了类似的影响,这让詹姆斯·菲茨詹姆斯·斯蒂芬爵士(1829-94)等建制派人士感到震惊,他们认为民主制度可能会因未经选举的民粹主义煽动者而受到危险的破坏:
