摘 要: 英国19世纪著名女性小说家乔治·艾略特生活在一个传统思想盛行而现代社会科学理论层出不穷的特殊历史时期,这使她的早期小说创作既呈现出现代性的特点,又保留着传统性的一面。现代性一是体现在她对人的悲剧的深刻理解,二表现在她在刻画小说主人公时对心理分析方法的率先使用;传统性则反映在她小说蕴涵的怀旧主题,以及她在描写次要人物时所承袭的传统手法。传统与现代的统一奠定了艾略特早期小说在英国文学史上的重要地位。 Goerge Eliot is a distinguished English female novelist of the 19th century. Living in a period during which conventional ideology still prevailed while modern scientific theories were springing up, her early novels display both modernistic and traditionalistic features. Modernism exists in her keen understanding of human tragedy and the innovative application of psychological realism when depicting the protagonists, while traditionalism is embodied in her nostalgic thematic concern and the traditional way of portraying the minor characters she inherited from the early Victorian novelists. The coexistence of modernism and traditionalism secures a very important position for her early novels in the history of English literature.
