项目摘要

Context of research:Since the publication of 'Suite française' in France in 2004 and in English translation in 2006, there has been enormous media interest in Némirovsky, and the novel has become an international best-seller. This popular success has been accompanied by some scholarly attention, in the form of two biographies, one originally published in 2005 and one forthcoming. Some research is currently being carried out on the manuscript of 'Suite française', and it is likely that future scholarly interest will focus on this text, as there is currently more research activity in French Studies on the Occupation period than on the inter-war period. I bring specific and relevant expertise to the analysis of Némirovsky's oeuvre as a specialist in 1930s French women's writing, having recently published two books in this area, as well as an article devoted to Némirovsky's inter-war fiction. There is very little existing scholarly criticism on Némirovsky's inter-war novels, other than a handful of articles which predate the publication of 'Suite française'. In the context of the new international interest in Némirovsky, and in the absence of a detailed literary analysis of her work in either French or English, this is an opportune moment to evaluate Némirovsky's literary output in its entirety. Her work is set to become ever more well-known to English readers, as there are plans to publish further novels in translation this year. 'Suite française' is already beginning to be taught within the undergraduate curriculum. Aims and objectives:The main aims of this research are to supply a scholarly and reflective analysis of an author whose work has been extensively discussed in the press but not so far in academic contexts, and to situate 'Suite française' in relation to Némirovsky's inter-war fiction. It aims to examine the ways in which social, literary and political considerations came into play to define the development of Némirovsky's oeuvre. Whilst it is inevitable that modern perceptions will be coloured by the enormous popularity of her last work, this research aims to reinsert the text into its proper chronological context, as the culmination of a successful literary career rather than as the starting point of a posthumous reputation. The objectives of this research will therefore be: a) to discover how it was that Némirovsky's fiction gained such popularity in 1930s France; b) to investigate how critics received her work and how they related it to important developments in the modern novel in the 1930s, and to address the political implications of Némirovsky's close associations with right-wing anti-Semitic journals and the presence of anti-Semitics stereotypes in her texts; c) to use the example of Némirovsky to investigate the nature of French-Russian cultural exchange in the 1930s; d) to interrogate contemporary understanding of the possibilities for the existence and development of 'the French Jewish novel'; e) to interpret 21st century responses to Némirovsky in France and Britain. Applications and benefits:Given the current level of interest in Némirovsky's work in Britain, I anticipate that the book I am contracted to publish as a result of this work will find a wide readership amongst general readers as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students and the research community in the Humanities. Given Némirovsky's current status as a best-seller, the project offers possibilities for knowledge transfer activities such as lectures or discussion groups. The research will respond to an ongoing high level of interest amongst general readers in the history and culture of both the First and the Second World Wars. It will provide an accessible but rigorous route into the study of inter-war culture for a range of readers, as well as stimulating further research into Némirovsky's work andthe political and literary issues it raises.

研究背景：自2004年《法国组曲》在法国出版并于2006年翻译成英文以来，涅米罗夫斯基引起了媒体的极大兴趣，这部小说已成为国际畅销书。这种流行的成功伴随着一些学术关注，以两本传记的形式，一本最初于2005年出版，另一本即将出版。一些研究目前正在进行的手稿“套房française”，它很可能是未来的学术兴趣将集中在这个文本，因为目前有更多的研究活动，在法国研究的占领时期比在两次世界大战期间。我带来了具体的和相关的专业知识来分析涅米罗夫斯基的作品作为一个专家在20世纪30年代的法国妇女的写作，最近出版了两本书在这方面，以及一篇文章致力于涅米罗夫斯基的战争之间的小说。关于涅米罗夫斯基的两次世界大战之间的小说，除了少数几篇早于《法兰西组曲》出版的文章外，几乎没有现存的学术评论。在国际社会对涅米罗夫斯基产生兴趣的背景下，在没有对她的法语或英语作品进行详细的文学分析的情况下，这是一个评估涅米罗夫斯基文学作品整体的合适时机。她的作品将越来越为英国读者所熟知，因为今年有计划出版更多的翻译小说。“法国组曲”已经开始在本科课程中教授。目的和目标：本研究的主要目的是提供一个作者的工作已被广泛讨论，但到目前为止，在学术背景下，学术和反思分析，并在涅米罗夫斯基的两次世界大战之间的小说，以“套房法国”。它的目的是研究如何在社会，文学和政治因素发挥作用，以确定涅米罗夫斯基的作品的发展。虽然这是不可避免的，现代的看法将被她的最后一部作品的巨大受欢迎程度所影响，这项研究的目的是重新插入文本到适当的时间背景下，作为一个成功的文学生涯的高潮，而不是作为一个死后声誉的起点。因此，本研究的目标是：（1）发现涅米罗夫斯基的小说是如何在20世纪30年代的法国获得如此的普及; B）调查评论家如何接受她的作品，以及他们如何将其与20世纪30年代现代小说的重要发展联系起来，并解决Némirovsky与右翼反犹太主义期刊的密切联系以及反犹太主义的存在的政治影响，本文的主要目的是：（1）探讨“法国犹太小说”的存在与发展的可能性;（2）分析21世纪世纪法国和英国对“涅米罗夫斯基”的反应。应用程序和好处：鉴于目前的兴趣水平Némirovsky的工作在英国，我预计，这本书我签约出版作为这项工作的结果将找到广泛的读者群之间的一般读者，以及本科生和研究生和研究社区的人文科学。鉴于Némirovsky目前的畅销书地位，该项目提供了知识转移活动的可能性，如讲座或讨论小组。这项研究将回应普通读者对第一次和第二次世界大战历史和文化的持续高度兴趣。它将为广大读者提供一条研究两次世界大战之间文化的可访问但严格的路线，并刺激对Némirovsky作品及其提出的政治和文学问题的进一步研究。
