内容摘要
《飘》是美国女作家玛格利特米切尔的唯一一部作品,出版于1936年,1937年获得普利策文学奖。
这不仅仅是一部成功商业小说,也是一部经典名著。
尽管这是一部深受欢迎的成功小说但是却从未得到文学评论的重视。
在世界文学史上,《飘》的文学地位并不高。
在人们看来,这不过是一部浪漫的爱情故事、一本成功的畅销小说而已。
实际上《飘》是一部值得用女性主义批评方法去解读的大师之作。
在这里我将用三部分来用女性主义批评方法分析《飘》。
第一部分将会是一个简短的关于作者玛格利特米切尔的简介。
第二部分是介绍女性主义批评方法。
第三部分是利用女性主义批评方法去解析《飘》。
第四部分我们会得到论证,《飘》不光是一部供人消遣娱乐的畅销书,也是一部值得好好品读的大师作品。
