公案流別──論明代公案小說集體例的依違

The genre of detective-style novels --On the ambiguity of the stylistic rules and layout of the collection of detective-style novels in Ming Dynasty

本文以明代公案小說集為研究範圍。對公案小說與法家書、訟師秘本因題材相近而致類型異稱紛擾所衍生文類辨分的困難，予以關注。注意到了明代抄錄的時代特徵對於明代小說編纂的影響，並藉由對於異稱時間先後探討，重新檢視學界對於公案文體類型的析分，總結其異稱的適當性。其次，余象斗新增「按語」的體例讓公案小說呼應時代的流行趨向，後來公案小說集亦予以繼承，成為公案小說的普遍特徵。復次，續推演公案書名發展規律，發現公案小說圍繞「公案」、「傳」的題名特徵呈現公案小說的雛形、趨附、成熟階段，實具公案小說集演化歷程的時代意義。
