传统观点认为,俄国小说是18世纪下半期到19世纪初发展起来的,在18世纪中期以前俄国没有自己的小说。本文从现代学界对小说的认识入手,把“四分法”的小说概念引入对俄国文学发展史的研究,把俄国小说的源头上溯到17世纪末。 The traditional view is that Russian novels developed from the second half of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century, and Russia did not have its own novel until the middle of the eighteenth century. This article starts from the modern academic understanding of novels, introduces the concept of “four points” into the study of the history of the development of Russian literature, and traces the origins of Russian novels to the end of the 17th century.
