《清末時新小說集》的承繼與移植

The Inheritance and Transplantation of ''Late-Qing New Age Novels''

本文將探討《清末時新小說集》受到中國傳統文學「縱的承繼」以及西方基督宗教「橫的移植」影響，所呈現出的書寫樣式與文化意涵。《清末時新小說集》起源於晚清傳教士傅蘭雅（John Fryer, 1839-1928），1895年舉辦的「時新小說」徵文比賽之文稿，小說稿件曾一度散佚，直至2006年重新被發現，2011年以《清末時新小說集》之名，未經刪修直接掃描影印出版。本文透過梳理文本，聚焦於兩方面考察：1.探討中國傳統文學和西方基督宗教對時新小說敘事書寫的影響。2.闡述文本所展現的文化意涵，特別在宗教文化部分，以及中國基督徒作者如何將基督宗教元素化為己用，並融入小說創作中，跨越文學與宗教領域，頗具有獨特的時代意義與價值。
