摘要
《木桶的故事》是乔纳森·斯威夫特介入“古今之争”的立身之作,却因其怪异的叙事结构及繁复的语义指涉被学界视为“弃儿文本”。既有研究侧重形式批评之余,似未细察文本寓言叙事等修辞形制隐含的神学政治及哲学论辩场景,或未能探究其与续生文本之间的思想史关联。作为对英格兰启蒙运动“自然神学论争”及“宪政秩序论争”的回应,《故事》及其续生文本标明了斯威夫特文学书写地图的思想史路径。
Swift's A Tale of a Tub,published in 1704 for intervening La Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes,has earned him some reputations.Yet the bizarre conformation and labyrinth-like references also made his book an“orphaned text".Most critics,while ignoring the intertextuality betwixt A Tale of a Tub and its concomitant texts,focus their perspectives on formal analysis thus tending to overlook the ecclesiastical politics theme hidden beneath the allegorical narrative in the main storyline.As Swift's replies to Deists,to the conflicts between the divine and the secular and the quarrels on constitutional order,A Tale of a Tub,with its concomitant texts,we may say,have mapped out the implicit intellectual background for Swift's writings.
