Novel "the Creation Of The" Strange "art Analysis

Zamyatin Evgeny Ivanovich (1884-1937) was a very influential writer of Russian Silver Era. On the initial stage of his creating, he was regarded as a great writer, however, after he finished his novel We, which raised up a storm of controversy and Zamyatin was subjected to extraordinarily harsh criticism. However, Zamyatin is spoken highly of in the west.In the thesis, the author thinks the study of his representative work We is not enough. Standing in contemporary readers' position and taking text, reader, writer and history as the recessive clue, using "defamiliarization" theory of Russian formalism as her basis, the author analyses We from four aspects: background, perspective, characteristic and thinking, with an attempt to give readers a three-dimensional concept. This novel is found to be deep history branded and surmounting to history. Considering the close relation among history, writer, text and reader, the blending of modernism and realism in the article can be sensed. We is a epitome of "defamiliarization" of literature, social characteristic at that time in a sense. However the author does not attempt to summarize the full text with a few terms, construct and disconstruct it, following the analytic instead of inductive pattern of thinking. Thus readers will not only see the inner truth of the text and appreciate the charm of the literary works itself, but also feel the writer's agony behind the text and find out the cause why the novel was prohibitted and released to pulic. Finally they can access to the Russian Silver Era.
