This thesis is about comparative genology, which aim at studying novels on travels in intercultural perspectives. The thesis is divided into five parts:Introduction. Traveling novel, with a basic declarative sentence, just mean that"a process of walk". Be observed with the angle of novel style, traveling novel is a kind of novel genre which has adopted"traveling structure"and"viewpoint of traveler". Starting with this, My thesis intend to do some analogy studies of china-west traveling novels before 19th century.Origin of traveling novel. About the artic accumulation of traveling novel in west country, We may do some research from three levels: Ancient Greece literature, Ancient Rome literature, Middle Ages literature. And this thesis analyzes three magnum opuses in different period emphatically: Odyssey, The Golden Donkey and The Divine Comedy. For some restricted narration in ancient chinese novel, we think that it has already constituted the embryo of"viewpoint of traveler".Emergence of traveling novel. The emergence of china-west traveling novels in 16-17 centuries together is by no means coincidental. Just the opposite, it is a reflection of cultural current and commercial tide of modern times in novel style. As for traveling novels in western country, two works are regarded as a milestone: one is The Little Favus, and other is Don Quixote, For chinese novel, the theme of deity and devil has a closing tie with the novel style of"travel". Being an outstanding figure in those works, Journey to the West has acted the same role with Don Quixote. They were considered as two peaks of china-west traveling novels in the emerges day.Novels on travels with the divergence of two cultures. Enters for 18th century, the development of traveling novel in China and western country presents a astonishing contrast. In the Age of Enlightenment, traveling novel becomes a writer's beloved thing and has initiated a literary tide throughout Europe. Excellent works emerge in endlessly. Especially Tom Jones, Through joins classical principle in the traveling novel, it Provides a novel style comes near to perfection. In contrast, Flowers in the Mirror is likely rare survival in Chinese novel. But, Through traveling structure, this work has unfolded the charm of scholarship. It may be said a distinctive style.Conclusion. Compares with the western novel, Chinese traveling novel is not developed. This thesis carries on the analysis in four aspects: natural environment, economic pattern, social structure and cultural trait. Thought that these factors has accomplished novel's choice with joint forces.
