摘要
古代白话小说的叙述模式在清末受到质疑,小说家们通过大量的叙述分层寻找叙述的可靠性来源,叙述分层成为清末小说最鲜明的叙述特征。清末小说的叙述有层次上的区分,主要有超叙述层和次叙述层,以及特殊的回旋式叙述层。清末小说通过叙述分层区别出叙述层和故事层,叙述者的功能由此发生变化:不同叙述层次的叙述者互不干扰;小说借助新叙述者表现出较为明显的色调;新叙述者不具有权威性,他们不得不依靠多种方式向读者进行解释,主要有元叙述式的说明,承认自我的有限性,采取弥补知识、自我解嘲、自我辩护等方式。
The narrative mode of the ancient vernacular Chinese novels in the late Qing Dynasty has long been questioned.The novelists had been seeking for the reliable source of narration through a large amount of narrative stratification,which developed into the most distinctive narrative characteristic of the novel in this period.The narrative stratification in these novels includes hyper-narrative,sub-narrative,and a kind of gyratory narrative as well.By dividing the narrative stratification into two layers,the narration and the story,and the narratorsfunction could be changed,and the narrators of the two layers did not interfere with each other.The new narrators made a more obvious feature of the novels although they were not of any authority.Thus they had to explain to the readers in various ways,mainly including meta-narrative interpretation,admission of a limited self,knowledge compensation,self-mockery,self-defense,etc.
