舍伍德·安德森(1876—1941),美国作家。在对小说形式的探索中,他创造了完全属于他自己的一个全新的体裁。他以充满同情和细腻的笔墨刻画了一些平凡、畸形的人物的性格,展现了现代工业社会中人与人之间的不信任以及人们失落的内心世界与外部世界之间的矛盾冲突。本文以安德森的著名短篇《蛋》为例,探索性地研究和展现安德森作品的某些内涵与思想。 Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941), American writer. In his exploration of the novel’s form, he created an entirely new genre that is entirely his own. He portrays the characters of ordinary and deformed people with full of sympathy and exquisiteness. He shows the distrust between people in the modern industrial society and the conflict between the inner world and the outer world that people lost. Taking Andersen’s famous short story “Egg” as an example, this essay explores and expounds some of the contents and thoughts of Anderson’s works.
