摘要: 曾经斩获美国普利策奖和国家图书奖的《寓言》(1954)是福克纳的后期小说代表作。作品以第一次世界大战期间的欧洲战场为背景，叙事架构宏大，尤其是人物众多，且绝大多数不具姓名，赋予了整个作品一种普适性的寓言特质，使其具备了现代主义文学特征。本文在主要人物及其关系分析的基础上，透过人物塑造的特殊性来解析文本和语境的现代性，并从寓言性入手探索作品的道德立意，由此揭示反战主题背后的人本主义价值取向。
Abstract: A Fable, which won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in US upon its publication in 1954, represents William Faulkner’s most strenuous effort in the late stage of his writing career. With the background set in the European Front of the First World War, the grand narrative strokes and the numerous characters mostly unnamed endow the work with an appeal of universality typical of moral allegory, which serves to highlight its modernist connotations. Based on a focused study of the special mode of its characterization and the moral significance of its allegorical dimension, this thesis attempts to explore the textual and contextual features of modernity so as to reveal the humanistic values behind the anti-war themes.
