The narrator is a young governess, sent off to a country house to take charge of two orphaned children. She finds a pleasant house and a comfortable housekeeper, while the children are beautiful and charming. But she soon begins to feel the presence of intense evil.
Henry James, OM, son of theologian Henry James Sr., brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, was an American-born author, one of the founders and leaders of a school of realism in fiction. He spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. He is primarily known for a series of major novels in which he portrayed the encounter of America with Europe. His plots centered on personal relationships, the proper exercise of power in such relationships, and other moral questions. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allowed him to explore the phenomena of consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting.
James insisted that writers in Great Britain and America should be allowed the greatest freedom possible in presenting their view of the world, as French authors were. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators in his own novels and tales brought a new depth and interest to realistic fiction, and foreshadowed the modernist work of the twentieth century. An extraordinarily productive writer, in addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel writing, biography, autobiography, and criticism,and wrote plays, some of which were performed during his lifetime with moderate success. His theatrical work is thought to have profoundly influenced his later novels and tales.
将这部作品界定为心理小说其实过于狭隘。旧屋及鬼魅的设定(The Mysteries of Udolpho)、master和governess的关系(Jane Eyre)都让人联想到一些知名前作,而在叙事结构(套中套)、语言风格(迂回、多义性)、主题(恶的传染性与天真的失落)、初衷(杂志刊载的Romantic Gothic)等方面又与后辈暗相呼应(康拉德)。阅读的挑战在于剥开外层叙事者“我”的插话“误导”及主观抄录、Douglas转述过程中的潜在立场、governess的不可信叙述以及the written statement "in medias res"的性质,在the sanity of the governess和the reality of the ghosts之间进行权衡。
评分这个叙述方式真是让人头疼。因为读起来太费时了所以这故事一点都不可怕...加上因为年代久远而造成的脱离感,其实并不能感受到所谓的evil之类的, 就还好。
评分It haunts.
评分The Turn of the Screw gives off an air of suspense that lingers long after the last page is turned.
评分psychoanalysis
这是亨利詹姆斯的大作。 阅读过程几乎没有快感,但却是一本奇特的小说。它的奇特在于,给予了读者不同的阅读走向。 如,女家庭教师究竟有没有看到鬼?鬼魂是否只是出于她的想象?等等。这里很容易产生一些阴谋论的想法。 我不敢说完全看懂了,尤其是它的结局。讲故事的道格...
评分这是一本心理恐怖小说:闹鬼的故事。 早在6、7年前,我就在图书馆翻过本书,04年的人民文学版。由于时间关系,只对书名很有印象,最终也没读成。这次出了新版,感谢多看赠阅,又让我想起这部“The Turn of the Screw”。 鉴于本书情节比较离奇,对其表达意图的解读也很多,在此...
评分1、可能并没有鬼,女家庭教师精神有问题,鬼是她臆造的,证据之一就是其中一次她和小女孩,女管家同时在场的时候,身边两位都没有看到。女管家是个迷信心理很重的人,所以一听女家庭教师说见鬼了就附和也是有的。 2、女家庭教师和小男孩有暧昧吧?也许有实质性的性关系发生也...
