摘要:《好兵》是福特引以为豪的精心之作。迄今为止,其研究者所选取的视角多集中于技巧方面。实际上,在繁复的叙事之下,福特传达了对变革时期英国社会和文化的诸多思索,包括贵族的责任及未来命运等热点议题。借鉴空间批评理论,分析《好兵》中乡村庄园文化内涵的变迁。它已经不再是传统英国文学中和谐秩序与主人高贵德行的象征,而是贵族命运衰败、主人道德腐败的外在体现。%The Good Soldier is a proud work of Ford,but so far it has been studied mainly from a technical perspective.In fact,underneath its complicated narration,Ford expresses his thoughts upon many aspects of culture in an age of transformation,including the obligation and future of the aristocracy.Based on the space theory,this paper analyzes the changing cultural significance of the English country house as reflected in the novel.Unlike the traditional image of the country house in English literature,Branshaw is no longer the symbol of a harmonious social order or its owner's nobility of character,but a manifestation of the declining fate of aristocracy and its owner's degrading morality.
