在19世纪,建议文学(行为、礼仪或礼仪书籍)在美国是一种流行的非小说体裁。事实上,劝告文学积极地入侵了其他文学体裁,最著名的是感伤文学,它使用虚构的人物和情景来戏剧化和说明这种劝告。这一类型的流行甚至弥漫在20世纪的电影明星现象中。本文将重点研究玛丽·皮克福德的咨询文本及其与19世纪咨询文学的关系。我们将看看皮克福德在1915年至1917年间出版的辛迪加专栏《每日谈话》中的例子。皮克福德的课文包含了类似的修辞策略来甜蜜地表达她的说教意图:隐喻、轶事和冷漠被放在亲密朋友熟悉而令人放心的声音中,混合着老师的劝诫或煽动的方式。在内容和对家庭、自治、宗教、教育、求爱等方面。从这种熟悉而有效的文学传统出发,皮克福德增强了她对明星的吸引力和消费,并促进了一种特定的“生活模式”,明星理想化的、几乎神圣的、美国女性身份的化身就是例证。
In the nineteenth century, advice literature (conduct, courtesy or etiquette books) was a popular non-fiction genre in America. In fact, advise literature actively invaded other literary genres, most notably sentimental literature, which used fictional characters and situations to dramatize and illustrate this advice. The popularity of the genre even pervaded the twentieth century phenomenon of the film star. This paper will focus on Mary Pickford’s advisory texts and its relationship to nineteenth century advice literature. We will look at examples from Pickford’s syndicated column “Daily Talks” published between 1915 and 1917. Pickford’s texts contain similar rhetorical strategies to sweeten her didactic intent: metaphors, anecdotes, and aporia are put in the familiar and reassuring voice of the intimate friend mixed with the hortatory or inciting manner of the teacher. In terms of content there and love of the home, self-government, religion, education, courtship etc. Working from this familiar and effective literary tradition allowed Pickford to strengthen her star appeal and its consumption as well as to promote a particular “model of living” exemplified by the star’s idealized, almost sanctified, embodiment of American womanhood.
