摘要

从未出版的少年小说到《年轻公爵》(1831),本杰明·迪斯雷利主要通过讽刺、喜剧甚至滑稽的写作方式来测试他的文学潜力。不管怎样,他从1826年到1830年的所有小说作品都是为了让人们发笑,或者至少是微笑,并欣赏这位年轻作家在讽刺和滑稽夸张方面的智慧和幽默才能。他在19世纪30年代将这种做法搁置一边,当时他主要尝试其他叙事类型和表现模式,最终在1837年的《威尼斯》(Venetia)中展示了一种新的冷静基调,这种基调适合维多利亚登基那年一位有抱负的保守党政治家。在这个发展框架下,我的文章开始调查年轻的迪斯雷利对笑声的嗜好,并将其与家庭中爱笑的血脉联系起来。它集中在薇薇安格雷,第一部分,并涉及它的电影火焰!1805年出版的《我叔叔的一生与错误》和《我姑姑的爱情》是一部古怪的讽刺“浪漫小说”,艾萨克·德伊斯莱尔在他的大儿子出生前后完成。为了突出这两部作品的背景相似性和狂欢性,文章提供了一种古怪的方法来研究浪漫主义/早期维多利亚时代的代际转换。

Laughing with Young Ben: Vivian Grey, Flim-Flams!, and the Perplexities of Satirical Writing
From his unpublished juvenilia to The Young Duke (1831), Benjamin Disraeli tested his literary potential mainly through writing in the satirical, comic, or even farcical mode. One way or another, all his fictional works from 1826 to 1830 were meant to make people laugh, or at least smile, and appreciate the young author’s wit and humorous talent for irony and comic exaggeration. He sidelined this practice in the 1830s, when he mainly experimented with other narrative genres and modes of representation, eventually parading in Venetia (1837) a new sobriety of tone such as suited an aspiring Tory politician in the year of Victoria’s accession. Working within this developmental framework, my article sets out to investigate the young Disraeli’s penchant for laughter in connection with the fun-loving vein running in the family. It focuses on Vivian Grey, Part I, and relates it to Flim-Flams!, or, the Life and Errors of My Uncle and the Amours of My Aunt (1805), a quirky satirical ‘romance’ Isaac D’Israeli completed round about the time his eldest son was born. In highlighting the contextual similarities and carnivalesque qualities of the two works, the article offers an eccentric approach to the Romantic/early-Victorian generational changeover.
