A CULTURAL STUDY OF 'HISTORICAL' NOVELS IN THE PERIOD OF SOUTHERN RENAISSANCE

在艾伦·泰特的《父亲和历史的深渊》中，我考察了旧南方和新南方的对比，乔治·波西的刻画，他奇怪行为的含义，以及莱西·巴坎观点的作用。调查显示，尽管泰特认识到旧南方传统生活方式的重要性，但他仍隐藏着批评旧南方文化的倾向。我未发表的文章《写作中的历史：福克纳的堕落，摩西》是对艾克·麦卡斯林在复合体小说中的历史话语的分析，特别是在《熊》的第四节中。艾克的荒野教育是一种排斥他者的特殊顿悟体验，他以这种体验为基础的历史话语旨在将不同的、不纯洁的东西排除为他者。这一倾向导致了他一生中的最后一次失败。另一篇关于罗伯特·潘·沃伦的《所有国王的人》的文章正在进行中，预计将展示沃伦试图通过塑造威利·斯塔克来改写旧南方的神话形象。

In "Allen Tate's The Fathers and the 'Abyss' of History" I examined the contrast of the Old South and the New South, the characterization of George Posey, the meanings of his strange behavior, and the function of Lacy Bachan's point of view. The investigation revealed that Tate had a hidden inclination to criticize old Southern culture despite his recognition of the significance of traditional ways of life in the Old South.My unpublished essay, "History in Writing / Writing in History : Faulkner's Go Down, Moses, " is an analysis of Ike McCaslin's historical discourse in the composite novel, especially in Section 4 of "The Bear." Ike's education in wilderness is a special type of epiphany experience that excludes the Other, and his historical discourse based on the experiencetends to exclude what is different and impure as the Other. This tendency brings about the final failure in his life.Another essay, now in progress, on Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men is expected to show Warren's attempt in his characterization of Willie Stark to rewrite the mythical image of the Old South.
