초기 영국소설의 다원론적 연구 = A Pluralistic Study of Early British Novels

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is an attempt to rediscover Oliver Goldsmith and Jane Austen thru pluralistic and socio-historical approaches and confirm the literary achievements their works made. For the purpose, M.M, Bakhtin’s theory of polyphony, dialogism is utilized. The traditional monolithic ways of seeing things, specifically, the “notorious” new criticism or the mimesis theory have limited these writers’ works to be understood as nothing but idealistic fables with no sense of history. Even though their stories do not directly indict the social conflicts as Crabbe would have done, they supply the readers with the essence of the socio-historical background around their times: as for Goldsmoth, his reformist ideas specially in penitentiary laws, and as for Austen, the class oriented relationship between the characters, the patterns of consumptions and fashions, along with the woman as “the Angel in the Attic” question, etc. And for the tracing of these respects, Austen’s major novels, Emma, Mansfield Park, and Pride and Prejudice, and Goldsmith’s The Vicar of Wakefield are utilized. And all these findings verify Bakhtin’s idea of literary work as reflection and refraction of history.
