在对现代马克思主义思想的复杂运用中,n·n·菲尔特斯展示了19世纪出版实践对维多利亚小说的决定性影响。他的辩证分析对20世纪资本主义小说生产的发展作出了全面的解释。菲尔特斯主要研究了五本英国小说:狄更斯的《匹克威克外传》、萨克雷的《亨利·埃斯蒙德》、艾略特的《米德尔马契》、哈代的《德伯家的苔丝》和福斯特的《霍华德庄园》。它们在1836年至1920年间大约每20年出版一次,每一本都代表了不同的首次出版形式:部分出版、三卷、双月刊、杂志连载和单卷。从出版、经济和文学史的角度出发,费尔特斯对每一部小说的创作和形式之间的关系,以及它们最终决定文本意识形态的方式,提供了广泛而综合的解释。《维多利亚时代小说中的生产方式》提供了一种马克思主义的结构主义分析,对其他地方仅以经验方式描述的历史事件和实践进行了分析,并追溯了它们与仅以理想主义方式分析的文学文本的关系,从而将这些熟悉的作品牢固地,也许是永久地置于历史唯物主义的框架中。
In this sophisticated application of modern Marxist thought, N. N. Feltes demonstrates the determining influence of nineteenth-century publishing practices on the Victorian novel. His dialectical analysis leads to a comprehensive explanation of the development of capitalist novel production into the twentieth century. Feltes focuses on five English novels: Dickens's "Pickwick Papers," Thackeray's "Henry Esmond," Eliot's "Middlemarch," Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles," and Forster's "Howards End." Published at approximately twenty year intervals between 1836 and 1920, they each represent a different first-publication format: part-issue, three-volume, bimonthly, magazine-serial, and single-volume. Drawing on publishing, economic, and literary history, Feltes offers a broad, synthetic explanation of the relationship between the production and format of each novel, and the way in which these determine, in the last instance, the ideology of the text. "Modes of Production in Victorian Novels" provides a Marxist structuralist analysis of historical events and practices described elsewhere only empirically, and traces their relationship to literary texts which have been analyzed only idealistically, thus setting these familiar works firmly and perhaps permanently into a framework of historic materialism.
