摘要
沃特斯最著名的两部新维多利亚小说《灵契》和《轻舔丝绒》以细致的笔触,呈现了维多利亚时期英国社会被边缘化的女性的生活。这种呈现的可贵之处在于,它是以当代先进的性与性别的认识为基础的再现,在重现历史的同时反思历史,并揭示了性别的本质——对性别能指的表演性引用。
Sarah Waters is one of the most famous contemporary British writers, well known for her neo- Victorian novels. Like all other neo-Victorian novels, her works not only present the historical and social background of the Victorian England, but reflect the influence of contemporary ideologies and theories. Her Affinity and Tipping the Velvet are two of the most famous neo-Victorian novels, both of which vividly present the lives of marginalized women in Victorian England. What＇s special about her presentation is that it＇s based on contemporary understandings of sex/sexuality. While re-presenting the past, she reflects upon the past and reveals the truth of gender. Drawing on Butler＇s gender performativity theory, this essay will examine how Waters dissects gender by re-presenting the lives of Victorian women.
