摘要

摘要:剧透是网络时代的一个持续关注的问题,其根源在于19世纪中期新媒体的兴起。19世纪60年代初,威尔基·柯林斯和玛丽·伊丽莎白·布雷登要求期刊评论家不要透露他们小说的情节。这些请求引起了从不情愿遵守到断然拒绝的各种反应。评论家们不仅习惯于提供摘要,而且还倾向于贬低轰动小说。查尔斯·狄更斯(Charles Dickens)的情节也被评论家揭露,他在最后一部完整的小说《我们共同的朋友》(Our Mutual Friend)中调整了自己的方法,引入了一个很容易解决的谜团,使他既能吸引观众观看轰动小说,又能掩盖更重要的社会评论。

Spoiler Alert: The Sensation Novel and Victorian Criticism
Abstract:The spoiler, a persistent concern of the internet age, has roots in the mid-nineteenth century during the dawn of new media. In the early 1860s, Wilkie Collins and Mary Elizabeth Braddon asked periodical reviewers not to reveal the plots of their novels. These requests elicited responses ranging from begrudging compliance to outright refusal. Not only had critics become accustomed to providing summaries, but they were also inclined to disparage sensation novels. Charles Dickens, whose plots were also revealed by reviewers, adjusted his approach in Our Mutual Friend, his final complete novel, by introducing a mystery that was easily solvable, allowing him both to attract the audience for sensation fiction and to disguise more significant social commentary.
