学术和世界观令人失望。因此,《黑暗天堂》读起来更像是为新学者撰写的对各种英伦-大洋文本的调查,而不是为高级读者提供的持续而严格的论证。这种研究大洋洲的方法更适合选集——例如,参见理查德·D·富尔顿和彼得·H·霍芬伯格的优秀著作《维多利亚时代的想象中的大洋洲:一切皆有可能的地方》(2013年),或者更基础的是乔纳森·兰姆、凡妮莎·史密斯和尼古拉斯·托马斯的《探索与交流:南海选集,1680-1900年》(2000年)——而不是选集专着。尽管如此,《黑暗天堂》在试图扩大维多利亚研究学者对维多利亚-大洋文学传统的多样性和优点的理解方面还是值得称赞的。克里斯·J·托马斯印第安纳大学布卢明顿分校
scholarship and worldviews is disappointing. For this reason, Dark Paradise reads more like a survey of various British-Oceanic texts written for new scholars than a sustained and rigorous argument for an advanced audience. Such an approach to Oceania lends itself better to an anthology—see, for example, Richard D. Fulton and Peter H. Hoffenberg’s excellent Oceania in the Victorian Imagination: Where All Things Are Possible (2013), or, more foundationally, Jonathan Lamb, Vanessa Smith, and Nicholas Thomas’s Exploration & Exchange: A South Seas Anthology, 1680–1900 (2000)—than a monograph. Dark Paradise, nonetheless, is laudable in its attempt to expand Victorian studies scholars’ understanding of the diversity and merit of the Victorian-Oceanic literary tradition. Chris J.
