摘要
英国女作家斯帕克在一生的小说创作中经常采用元小说的叙事策略,在结构上采用特殊的"同素内置",突显其元小说的虚构性:小说人物对文本的评价;虚构与现实之间模糊的界限;现实对小说的模仿。其元小说策略还体现在小说跨体裁的特征上:斯帕克在文本中评论小说的创作,总结自己对作家、作品及读者等问题的观点和看法,并在小说中掺杂诗歌、日记、信件等。这一切展现了斯帕克在创作过程中的自我反省和自我意识,使她成为当代英美元小说的奠基者。
Metafictional impulses are evident in Muriel Spark＇s novels on different levels of the narrative：from the framing device to generic elements.Her use of the＂mise en abyme＂technique draws attention to the characters＇ comments on fiction and reality＇s imitation of fiction,blurring the distinction between fiction and reality.In their generic mixing of poems,journals and letters,Spark＇s novels embody her own ideas about the writer,the reader,and the text.An examination of Spark＇s fascination with metafictional narratives therefore reveals her belief that writing is a self-conscious and self-referential process.
