摘要

摘要:这篇文章认为,狄更斯拒绝接受维多利亚时代的文学共识,即讽刺,尤其是其奢华的朱维纳形式,不适合小说。在几篇序言中,他将讽刺“极端阐述”的放大美学定位为打破读者先入为主观念的理想模式。在《我们共同的朋友》中,狄更斯有力地再现了朱维纳尔的修辞过度和对贪婪的公开蔑视,以展示资本主义贪婪的不人道。他借鉴了关于习惯力量的普遍观点,在小说中大量列举了在物质主义世界中个人和制度的坏习惯几乎不可避免的例子。人们发现,各种各样的毒瘾支配着人类的性格,削弱了同情心和意志。狄更斯讽刺过度,在一系列与朱维纳尔相呼应的炫耀性社会晚宴中,公然展示了唯我论和贪婪的启示录魅力。与他的批评者相反,狄更斯觉得他的观众迫切需要用朱维纳利的力量传达大胆的真理。

The Juvenalian Satire of Our Mutual Friend
Abstract:This essay argues that Dickens rejected the Victorian literary consensus that satire, especially in its extravagant Juvenalian form, was unsuited to the novel. In several prefaces, he positions satire’s magnifying aesthetic of “extreme exposition” as an ideal mode for disrupting readers’ preconceptions. In Our Mutual Friend, Dickens forcefully revives Juvenal’s rhetorical overabundance and open scorn for avarice to showcase the voracious inhumanity of capitalism. Drawing upon prevalent ideas about the power of habit, he floods the novel with examples of the near inescapability of individual and institutional bad habit in a materialistic world. A variety of addictions are shown to dominate human character and deaden empathy and will. With satirical excess, Dickens blatantly displays the apocalyptic pull of solipsism and greed in a series of ostentatious Society dinners that echo Juvenal. In opposition to his critics, Dickens felt his audience urgently needed bold truths delivered with Juvenalian force.
