《霍华德庄园》(Howards End,1910)是英国著名小说家E.M.福斯特的代表作,福斯特以其深刻的社会良知和清醒的理智在小说中率先关注英国人“发育不良的心”这一主题。福斯特在小说中不断地将“发育不良的心”的英国人形象置于不同的“文化语境”(the field of cu lture)中,这种福斯特式的“联结”其本质上是一种资产阶级自由主义和人道主义者对工业文明带来的种种不“和谐”进行补救的方法。 Howards End (1910) is a masterpiece of EM Forster, a famous British novelist. With his profound social conscience and sober mind, Foster took the lead in the novel to focus on the British’s “dysplastic heart” theme. In his novels, Foster constantly puts the English image of an “underdeveloped heart” in a different “field of cu lture,” which is essentially Forster’s “link” Is a way for bourgeois liberalism and humanitarians to remedy any “harmony” not found in industrialized civilizations.
