小说是编织在人类话语结构中的一种元素,是一系列杂糅的文本集合体。英国旅行文学和早期小说在主题、风格和话语方式上有着诸多相似之处,两者之间存在着复杂的互动关系。18世纪的英国小说在一次又一次模仿、戏仿和调侃其他话语的过程中将自身与写实的游记、新闻等区别开来,逐步形成明确的自反意识和自居作用,最终发展成为一门独立的叙事艺术的。 Fiction is an element woven in the structure of human discourse and is a series of hybrid text collections. British travel literature and early novels have many similarities in theme, style and discourse style, and there is a complex interaction between the two. In the process of imitating, parodying and ridiculing other discourses again and again, the eighteenth-century English novels differentiated themselves from realistic travelogue and news, and gradually formed a clear sense of self-reflection and self-determination, eventually developing into an independent Narrative art.
