張愛玲小說與紅樓夢

Eileen Chang's Novels and Red Chamber Dream

本文從女性意識的角度切入，仔細比較張愛玲小說與《紅樓夢》。女性意識可謂《紅樓夢》與張愛玲小說最為凸顯之共同特色，由此切入，一方面可以觀察後者如何受前者的影響，另一方面也足以掘發二者最深層的文學或文化意涵。文章分為三節：第一節「末世、文明與性別」、第二節「女性、婚姻與情感」、第三節「母性、細節描述與永恆」。 In the 1940's, Eileen Chang (Chang Ai-ling) was famous for her romantic and sentimental novels in Shanghai. But she's ignored all the time by the critics of mainland China. In the 1950's, owing to Yangge and Love of Barren Land, her well-known 'anti-Communist' novels, Chang was admitted by KMT and thus entered the literary circles of Taiwan. On one hand, she's admired, imitated and worshipped by the writers in Taiwan, and on the other hand, she's attacked by the Left critics. Praise and censure, the two opposing extremes, form the so-called Chang-ology in Taiwan. This paper is composed of foreword and three sections: 1. last phase, civilization and sex, 2. women, marriage and emotions, 3. maternity, description of details and eternity. Surveying the connections between Chang's novels and Red Chamber Dream.
