摘要
本文探讨了西尔维娅·汤森德·沃纳两部小说中行走的功能。漫步在后卢梭时代,劳拉·威洛斯抛弃了老处女姨妈的角色,发现她的职业是一个女巫。然而,小说悲歌般的结局表明,她的自由可能是短暂的。索菲娅•威洛比(Sophia Willoughby)在《夏日秀》(Summer Will Show)中在巴黎街垒中英勇行走,同样表明真正改变的可能性微乎其微。行走在华纳的小说中提供了解放的前景,但在跨越社会界限时,她的主人公最终被限制在社会的边缘。
Walking at the Margins in Lolly Willowes and Summer Will Show
This article explores the function of walking in two novels by Sylvia Townsend Warner. Rambling in post-Rousseauian nature, Laura Willowes discards the persona of spinster aunt to discover her vocation as a witch. However, the novel’s elegiac ending suggests her freedom may be short-lived. Sophia Willoughby’s heroic walks amidst the Paris barricades in Summer Will Show similarly suggest little possibility of real change. Walking in Warner’s fiction offers the prospect of liberation, but in crossing social boundaries her protagonists are ultimately confined to the margins of society.
