12、，绝大多数小说家重复私通的主题，小说往往与乱伦、性变态、暴力等纠缠在一起，充斥着怪诞、恐怖、神秘的黑暗气氛。32. charles feidelson, jr.: symbolism and american literature, 195333. frank kermode (英国教授，长期在美讲学), 1)romantic image, 1957他认为必须从文学与现实的关系上去寻找西方文学批评的突破口，摆脱审美孤立主义的泥沼; 2) the sense of an ending: studies in the theory of fiction, 1967; 3) the art of t

14、米勒提出结构批评同时包含deconstructive and constructive, negative and positive，米勒的理论主要来自德里达（延异）和德曼（修辞），认为语言从根本上是修辞比喻产生的一种幻觉。6) fiction and repetition: seven english novels, 1982.35. irving howe, decline of the new, 1970.36. e.d. hirsch, 1) validity in interpretation, 1967; 2) the aims of interpretation, 1976.37

18、思考。卡勒所营构的结构主义诗学，其研究的对象已经不是文学作品的内容，而是这内容之座椅形成的条件和过程。“试图说明我们如何读出文本的意义。”克拉认为，结构主义研究的对象是读者、阅读行为和阅读理解的程式。44. paul de man: 1)blindness and insight: essays in the rhetoric of contemporary criticism, 1983;2) allegories of reading: figural language in rousseau, nietzsche, rilke, and proust, 1979; 这本书以历史研究开始，
