米德尔马契外省生活研究叙述形式研究 　　内容提要：乔治#8226;艾略特的代表作《米德尔马契》采用各种叙述形式并置：在全知叙事视点观照下，标题后有副标题、书的前后有“序言”和“尾声”、正文86个章节前有小引、正文相似情节的重复等，凸显故事的多线条和内在联系。两头夹住中间、中间另外起头的框架结构中嵌入框架结构，小说叙事注意点由故事外转移到故事里，再由章节外进入到章节内，最后再从故事里渐渐退到故事外。亦真亦幻，亦史亦诗，亦诗亦思，彰显了《米》叙述形式框架所负载的美学意义。 　　关键词：乔治#8226;艾略特 《米德尔马契》 叙述形式 叙述策略 故事线条 　　作者简介：朱桃香，暨南大学文艺学专业博士研究生，暨南大学外语学院副教授，研究方向为小说叙事理论和英美小说。 　　 　　Title: Narrative Form of Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life 　　Abstract: George Eliot employs the technique of the juxtaposition of various narrative forms in her masterpiece Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life. The plurality of narrative forms consists in a non??restricted narrator, title and subtitle, prelude and epilogue, epigrams before chapters, multiple threads of the story and interactive relevance derived from the repetition of similar plots. Prelude and epilogue construct the meaning of the story, and the epigrams that of the chapter, with another frame embedded in the frame, whereby to achieve thematic unity. The narrative points of attention are always shifting from outside the story to inside, from outside the chapter to inside, and finally from inside the story to outside, which elevates the artistic and aesthetic meaning of the novel. 　　Key words: George Eliot Middlemarch narrative form narrative strategies threads of story 　　Author: Zhu Taoxiang is a Ph.
