也许因为没有最终完成,狄更斯的小说《埃德温·德鲁德之谜》在国内没有得到应有的重视。从19世纪英国文学中常见的鸦片意象入手细读小说,可以发现,通过塑造上层社会中的瘾君子形象,狄更斯挑战了当时流行的鸦片话语中的阶级偏见,但是他对鸦片的东方性的内化也揭示了东方主义思维的流毒之深。 Perhaps because of not being finally completed, Dickens’s novel “The Mystery of Edwin Druid” did not get the domestically due attention. From the common opium images in British literature of the 19th century, we can find that Dickens challenged the class prejudice in pop opium discourse at the time by shaping the image of addicts in the upper class. However, It also reveals the depth of the poison of orientalism.
