《俗世威尔——莎士比亚新传》体现了格林布拉特为莎士比亚写传的新思路。从表层看,他将写作的重心放在对传主的解释上,仿佛凸显的是西方现代传记的“解释”理念,事实上,他对“莎士比亚何以成为莎士比亚”的解释却大量建立在想象和推测的基础上,其叙述话语暗含的自我颠覆性、互文性方法所造成的循环解释,在很大程度上模糊了传记与其他文类的界限,瓦解了传记真实性的写作基石。这一极具后现代色彩的观念和方法,带来的并不是传记的创新,而是对传记的解构。 The Veil Will - The New Biography of Shakespeare embodies Greenbrat’s new idea of ​​writing for Shakespeare. On the surface, he places the focus of writing on the interpretation of the preacher, as if to highlight the concept of “interpretation ” in modern western biographies. In fact, he interprets “why Shakespeare became Shakespeare” On the basis of imagination and speculation, the cyclic interpretation caused by the self-disruptive and intertextuality implied in the narrative discourse largely obscures the boundary between biography and other genres and disrupts the authenticity of biography cornerstone. This very postmodern notion and approach does not bring about biographical innovations but deconstruction of biographies.
