薇拉·凯瑟(1873～1947)是二十世纪美国的一位重要作家,许多文学批评家将她和美国现代最伟大的小说家—福克纳、海明威、费茨杰拉德—相提并论。《一个迷途的女人》发表于1923年,是凯瑟艺术生涯中的巅蜂之作。小说篇幅不长,是典型的“不带家具”的小说。美国作家兼批评家克鲁齐认为它在艺术上“几近完美”。美国评论家D·斯道克在分析凯瑟的创作手法时认为,她的第三人称叙述者有两个视角:“尼尔的视角被包含在一个全知全晓的叙述者的视角之中。”本文试图从叙事视角的角度来探讨作者运用现代叙事技巧的成功之处及其所产生的独特艺术效果。
Vera Cather (1873-1947) was a leading American writer in the twentieth century and many literary critics compared her with the greatest modern American novelists, Faulkner, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. “A Lost Woman,” published in 1923, is the aphrodisiac in Caesar’s art career. The novel is not long, is a typical “no furniture ” novel. American writer and critic Crutch thinks it is “almost perfect” in art. In his analysis of Cather’s method of creation, American critic D · Stoker argues that her third-person narrator has two perspectives: "Neil’s perspective is included in the perspective of an omniscient narrator. This article attempts to explore the author’s successful use of modern narrative techniques and the unique artistic effects it produces from a narrative perspective.
