The Structure of the Integration of the Reader's Horizon of Expectations into Soseki Studies

本研究的目的是为了弄清夏目漱石如何处理文学理论中所谓的读者期待视野（读者对文学文本的期待）。这样，就有可能了解他的小说，明治后期和大正文学早期的代表作品，哪些部分符合他们的时代，哪些部分超越了那个时代。所采用的方法是分析朝日新闻的读者可能阅读过的一些书籍，并将其与小说文本进行比较。笔者的结论是，宗塞通过融入中产阶级读者的期待视野，提升了连载小说的地位，同时，也通过在某些方面辜负这些期待，试图提升作品的文学价值。他作品的后一个方面当然是他们保留 ...更多信息 至今仍有价值。举一个例子，在三四郎，现在大约是明治40年（1907年），Soseki将女主角Satomi Mineko塑造成一个典型的前女学生。可以说，他在这部作品中融入了读者对明治30年代流行的女学生小说的期待视野。但是Soseki并没有让峰子以典型的女学生小说女主角的方式失去她的纯真，而是按照她哥哥的意愿将她嫁给了她哥哥的法律毕业生朋友，一家之主。这正是这些可以称为女性课程的小说中所阐述的生活方式，阐述了适合当代中产阶级家庭中成长的女性的生活方式。因此，我们可以推测，许多读者发现很难专注于一组单一的期望。这样，草石在顺应读者期待视野的同时，也在辜负这些期待的同时，保护了自己的小说免受时间的摧残。少

The purpose of this research project was to clarify how Natsume Soseki dealt with what in literary theory is called the reader's horizon of expectations (the set of expectations that readers bring to a literary text). In so doing, it becomes possible to understand what parts of his novels, representative works of late Meiji and early Taisho literature, correspond to their era and what parts transcend that era. The method adopted was to analyze a number of books that readers of the Asahi Shinbun, which was aimed at a readership consisting of the emerging middle class, can be presumed to have read and comparing them to the texts of the novels. My conclusion was that while Soseki, by incorporating the middle class reader's horizon of expectations , raised the status of the serialized novel, at the same time, by disappointing those expectations in certain respects, he attempted to raise the literary value of his works. This latter aspect of his works is certainly one reason they retain the … More ir value to this day.To give one example, in Sanshiro, where the present is approximately Meiji 40(1907), Soseki made the heroine, Satomi Mineko, into a typical former girl student. In this, he can be said to have incorporated the reader's horizon of expectations concerning the female student novel that was popular in the Meiji 30s. But Soseki did not allow Mineko to lose her innocence in the manner of a typical female student novel heroine, instead marrying her to the law graduate friend of her older brother, the head of the household, in accordance with his wishes. This is precisely the way of life set forth in the novels which can be called lessons for women, which expounded the lifestyle appropriate for women brought up in contemporary middle class households. As a result, we can speculate that many readers found it difficult to focus on a single set of expectations. In this way, Soseki, while conforming to the reader's horizon of expectations, simultaneously, in disappointing those expectations, protected his novel against the ravages of time. Less
