摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 风景的再现是一种意识形态的建构,涉及到性别、阶级、民族和种族等诸多因素。维多利亚时代历险小说对于异域风景的描写就蕴含着英国性的建构。《加拿大居民》中对于北美荒野的描写表现了英国人的勤勉与自律,《珊瑚岛》里南太平洋岛屿风情反映了英国的文明、理性与教化异域的精神,而《所罗门王的宝藏》中的女性化非洲大陆风景则讴歌了英国人的男性气概。它们都是特定英国社会文化语境的产物,代表着不同时代英国民族特性的建构。

关键词: 维多利亚时代, 历险小说, 风景, 英国性

Abstract: As an ideological construct, landscape representation involves various elements, such as gender, class, nation and race. The depiction of the exotic landscape in the Victorian adventure fiction embodies the construction of Englishness. The North American wilderness in Settlers in Canada reflects the English industry and self-discipline, the island landscape of the South Seas in The Coral Island represents the English civility, reason and spirit in civilizing exotic regions, and the feminized landscape in King Solomon's Mines eulogizes the English manliness. As the specific products of different social and cultural contexts, these novels construct different versions of Englishness during different times.

Key words: Victorian Age, adventure fiction, landscape, Englishness
