摘要

塔尼斯·李是一位“功勋卓著的作家”(Chappell 1),他的作品从科幻小说、奇幻小说、儿童文学到当代小说和侦探小说无所不有。尽管她出版了九十多部小说和三百多篇短篇小说,但她的读者随着时间的推移而减少,这也影响了对她作品的学术兴趣。本文的目的是对她最著名的小说之一《夜之主》进行文学分析,并回答为什么读者形容她的散文“郁郁葱葱”和“诗意”;同时也诠释了作品中反复出现的象征主义和美、性和变形的主题。本文还强调了小说在数字象征和道德方面与童话的相似之处。

A Journey Beyond Reality: Poetic Prose and Lush Imagery in Tanith Lee’s Night’s Master
Abstract Tanith Lee was a “highly decorated writer” (Chappell 1) whose work ranged from science-fiction, through fantasy and children’s literature to contemporary and detective novels. Although she published more than ninety novels and three hundred short stories, her audience has diminished through the years, affecting also the academic interest in her works. The aims of this article are to provide a literary analysis of one of her most famous novels, Night’s Master, and answer the question of why readers describe her prose as “lush” and “poetic”; and also interpret the recurring symbolism and themes of beauty, sexuality and metamorphosis in the work. This article also highlights the similarities between the novel and fairy tales in regard of numeric symbolism and morals.
