On The Reseach Of The Psychological Time Narration In The Life And Opinions Of Tristram Shandy,Gentleman

The tradition of western narrative literature has a long history and is roughly represented by the development of "epic-drama-fiction".When novels emerged in the 18th century in the United Kingdom as a new form of writing,the plot organization of the novel is based on the traditional Aristotle's "imitation theory" principle.The concrete expression of the time model in the fictional narrative organization is that the"time narr ative model" isbased on the linear characteristics of physical and objective time.Even if it breaks through the narrow limits in the "three ones theory",it also incorporates the plot into linear physics.In time,we use the characteristics of objective physical time in the experience world to frame the development of the plot.However,this situation saw new changes at the end of the 18th century and was marked by the publication of Stern's "Book of Wonders" and "The Book of Biography." Its concrete manifestation is that Lawrence Stern used the mental time,which is completely different from objective physics,as the basis for the plot organization in the The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy,Gentleman.The psychological time on which The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy,Gentleman is based has many different characteristics from the objective physical time.As a result,the narratives in The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy,Gentleman are not only bizarre,but also broken and incomplete.Off-topic narratives abound,and multiple timelines are intertwined.This kind of transformation not only has great innovation and novelty,but its underlying causes and values have been ignored.In order to dig deeper into the causes and values of this transformation,to fill gaps in cognition,it is clear from the traces of the development of Western narrative literature from Homer 's epic to The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy,Gentleman that it is clear that the transformation of temporal narrative patterns is intuitively concrete.Performance pattern.The time narrative mode is defined from the perspective of narratology by defining the temporal narrative mode clearly.In addition,through close reading and analysis to clarify the psychological time narrative model in the "Tiny" biography of the narrative time and the two dimensions of the specific performance of space.The deep reasons for the psychological time narrative model in The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy,Gentleman can be explored from three perspectives:the background of the times,the self-generation of literature,and the motivation of Stern.What can found is that the use of the psychological time narrative model in The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy,Gentleman not only caters to the internal needs of the 18th century British society which regarding literature as commodities,but also expresses the spirit of the times that advocated by the Enlightenment Movement.In addition,the use of the psychological time narrative model satisfies the emergence of new mothers in literary creation and the requirements brought about by the creation of round figures.In the end,Stern's unique life experience and personal temperament enabled him to grasp the needs of the development of times and literature keenly,and used the psychological time narrative mode in the creation of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy,Gentleman to integrate the two aspects above prefectly.The influence of the changes that existed in The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy,Gentleman has been ignored.Therefore,it is necessary to explore the influence and value brought about by this transformation from the perspective of macroscopic integration and microcosmic.The purpose of trying to achieve is to stand on the basis of predecessors to deepen the understanding of Stern and find out its value in literary creation and literary function,in order to have a deeper understanding of Stern's original value in the history of literature.And in the last part,we look forward to the use of other valuable but neglected theories.
