I want to propose a new way of reading the critically neglected novelist Henry Green; one attentive primarily not to content but to voice. I will trace his writing's imitations and reiterations by mapping its relationship to three mutually informative spheres of influence: earlier literature, his contemporaries' writing and his own, which he increasingly revisits for ideas and imagery. This lineage will expose his slim output's debt to well-known grand realist works of the nineteenth century as well as other chronically neglected writing - such as eighteenth-century literature, especially in French. Ultimately, the thesis will highlight Green's affinity to similarly under-researched contemporary writers, such as Anthony Powell, Ivy Compton-Burnett and Ronald Firbank, who worked in unique and idiosyncratic modes out of the mainstream of Modernism.

我想提出一种新的方式来阅读被批评者忽视的小说家亨利·格林；这种方式主要关注的不是内容，而是声音。我将追溯他的作品的模仿和重复，将其关系映射到三个相互提供信息的影响范围：早期文学，他同时代人的作品，以及他自己的作品，他越来越多地重新访问这些作品，以寻找想法和意象。这一血统将暴露出他薄薄的产出对19世纪著名的宏大现实主义作品以及其他长期被忽视的作品的亏欠--例如18世纪的文学，特别是法语文学。最后，这篇论文将突出格林与同样未被研究的当代作家的亲和力，如安东尼·鲍威尔、艾薇·康普顿-伯内特和罗纳德·菲尔班克，他们在现代主义主流之外以独特的方式工作。
