爱丽丝·凯瑞是美国内战前少数以写作为生的女作家之一,其作品风格独特,在生前就受到了普通读者和文学名家的赞美和推崇。但是在现代主义兴起之后,凯瑞就被湮没在迅速崛起的大批新生代作家中。在20世纪中期之后的后现代语境下,特别是80年代的妇女研究热潮中,这些作品又重新得到了学者的重视。作为一位地域文学女作家和现实主义文学的开拓者,凯瑞以其对美国拓荒时期边疆生活的速写,为读者呈现了一幅乡村生活的详尽图景。本文介绍了凯瑞的生平和主要作品,以期引起其他学者对这位女作家的关注,为今后的凯瑞研究提供必要的背景和铺垫。 Alice Kerry is one of the few women writers in the United States to take a living as a writer before the Civil War. Her works are unique in style and have been praised and praised by ordinary readers and literary masters during her lifetime. However, after the rise of modernism, Kerry was obliterated in the rapidly rising number of new-generation writers. In the postmodern context after the mid-20th century, especially in the 1980s, the works of women regained their attention again. As a writer of regional literary works and a pioneer of realistic literature, Kerry presented the reader with a detailed picture of rural life in his sketches of frontier life in the pioneering period of the United States. This article introduces Carrie ’s life and his major works with a view to arousing the attention of other scholars to the writer and providing the necessary background and bedding for Carrey’ s research in the future.
