【摘要】 查尔斯·狄更斯是19世纪文坛上颇负盛名的作家。阅读他的作品我们能够清晰地感受到一座城市,这座城市叫做伦敦。狄更斯对伦敦的描写展现了伦敦的巨大变化和伦敦市民的生活状况。作家之所以在每部小说中极力描写伦敦,是因为他对伦敦饱含复杂深厚的情感,他的文学之门也因伦敦而开启。那么伦敦究竟是以怎样的面貌重现在狄更斯的笔下的?论文从文学与城市的角度来探讨狄更斯对伦敦的书写。论文主要由绪论、四章主体和结束语构成。绪论部分主要是对狄更斯的创作历程以及国内外学者对他小说的研究进行梳理,并在此基础上阐明论文选取狄更斯笔下的伦敦作为选题的缘由。第一章围绕伦敦环境,指出伦敦的自然环境、物质环境和生存环境都是恶劣的。除了写实之外,论文选取三个特殊的意象——河流、街道和铁路,阐明狄更斯环境的象征性,最后,论述小说中环境描写的叙事功能。第二章探讨狄更斯笔下的伦敦社会阶层。狄更斯通过描写三个典型的阶级——贵族、中产阶级、无产阶级的状况,实现一种社会批判。论文抓住伦敦社会阶层政治、经济、家庭生活、文化教育等方面的特点,揭示出伦敦复杂的社会状况。第三章谈及狄更斯笔下伦敦人的整体特点,再重点选取孩童、罪犯这两类最能代表城市精神的人物进行分析,写出了伦敦底层人的善良、困苦和无奈。第四章探讨狄更斯的“文学伦敦”与19世纪“现实伦敦”的关系。比较“文学伦敦”与“现实伦敦”的异同点,帮助读者把握狄更斯创作与伦敦的关系。结束语部分简单地对文章进行大体的总结,希望可以通过对狄更斯的研究做出一些贡献。更多还原
