3. 国内外研究现状
Literature review Present researches show that the study of the novel mainly focuses on three aspects, including writing techniques, themes and feminist analysis. 1. Studies of Munro’s writing techniquesMunro combines wonder with ordinary in a concise and clear way, and shocks readers in her calm and delicate narration of details.Li Yanhui(李妍慧, 2015)discuss the gender construction and the feminist narrative of Munro, and writes:“ Munro uses epiphany and parody of the myth in her narrative which is to be free from the patriarchal stranglehold of the narration and therefore challenges the male discourse hegemony in her writing.”Moreover, Kang Xiao(康晓, 2015) proves the irrational narration of Munro in this novel from the narrative perspective, structure and effect. And Li Xiaoxi(李小玺, 2014)examines metaphors in the novel and show how it helps readers impressively to understand the social environment and conventional ideas of the small town and their impacts on the townspeople. What`s more, Li Yali(李亚莉, 2018) examines this book by the perspective of memory theory from three main memory concept, site of memory, collective memory and individual memory.There are enough scholars to analyze and generalize Munro''s writing skills. It is very comprehensively and no need to repeat again.2. Studies of themes: female initiation and self-enquiry.Alice Munro’s works focus on women and their life experience of ordinary Canadian towns, and explore the complex psychological and emotional world of ordinary women.Shen Ming(沈明,2014 ) writes that the protagonist Della undergoes not only physical but also psychological growth from an innocent girl to a mature women.Moreover,Ning Simengmei(宁思梦美, )and Zhang Yanran(张嫣然, )analyze the personal growth of Del from her exploration of belief, death, and love.Studies of themes of this novel only refer to personal growth of the protagonist Della and her self-affirmation, almost no people mentions the theme of escape which is a constant topic in Munro`s novel. 3. Studies of feminism: eco-feminism, feminine consciousness, and female image.Lv Xiaofei(吕晓菲, 2014)make an ecofeminism interpretation of this book, which maintains reverence for nature, concern for animals, blending of women and natural environment, and demonstrates Munro`s objection of anthropocentric view toward the ethical relations between humanity and nature. Liu Ming(刘敏, 2015) and Han Dongjuan(韩东娟, 2016) also has similar research and result in their papers. Huang Ting(黄婷,2018) summarizes female consciousness. In the novel, there is more submissive female, several characters shows female consciousness sometimes, and only Della becomes a woman with independent consciousness eventually. Chen Run and Sun Qian(陈润, 孙倩, 2016) appreciate the female images in Lives of Girls and Women, including the traditional, progressive and independent women images represented by different people in the novel. Feminism is discussed widely, and this novel is an exception. There are already piles of papers focusing on this topic, and some other new perspectives waiting to be discovered and discussed.According to the literature review above, it is clear that most of papers analyze Munro`s writing techniques, and some appreciate feminism showed in the novel, but seldom explore the theme of initiation, especially combing with another theme, escape. So it provides a new perspective to estimate the novel, Lives of Girls and Women.
