摘要

这一章探讨了现实主义小说,这些小说试图想象一个基本上肉眼看不见的过去,或者挑战现实主义对可见世界的迷恋。当角色专注于古代的过去,特别是罗马和希腊的废墟时,他们表现出对过去唤起他们(和叙事)感到不安的想象力反应的程度的惊愕。对于现实主义的想象力来说,更具挑战性的是深刻的地质历史,它通过令人不安的时刻进入文学文本,如此令人不安地符合风景式写作模式的参数。我认为,自然写作在想象遥远的过去的自然世界和在可见的景观上留下痕迹的能力上表现得更好。

Realist Temporalities and the Distant Past
This chapter explores realist fiction that attempts to imagine a past that remains largely invisible to the viewing eye or that challenges a realist fascination with the visible world. As characters focus on the ancient past, particularly Roman and Greek ruins, they display consternation at the degree to which the past summons an imaginative response that they (and the narratives) find disconcerting. Even more challenging for the realist imagination is the deep, geological past, which enters literary texts via moments of discomfort, so uncomfortably does it fit the parameters of a scenic mode of writing. Nature writing, I argue, fares far better in its capacity to imagine a distant past for the natural world and one that has left its signs on the visible landscape.
