摘要: 奇幻文学是世界文学的一个重要组成部分,也是西方文学批评界长期关注的对象之一,相关理论著作和研究成果数量庞大。茨维坦·托多罗夫的《奇幻文学导论》从结构主义诗学的角度出发对奇幻小说进行定义和解析,试图发掘这一文类内在的运行机制, 其理论问世以来尽管备受争议,但仍然以其独创而富有洞见的观点——如奇幻作品的“犹疑说” 定义以及对奇幻小说与诗歌,寓言的解读方式的差异比较——成为研究西方奇幻文学的必读经典,同时也为结构主义文学批评提供了一个典型范例。

Abstract: Fantastic literature is an important part of the world literature, and also one of the long-term concerns of the Western literary criticism, resulting in a large amount of works and studies. In his The Fantastic: A Structural Approach to a Literary Genre, Tzvetan Todorov defines from the perspective of the structuralist poetics the fantastic novels as a literary genre and tries to reveal the mechanism inherent in the genre. Although this book has been the subject of considerable controversy since its publication, it is still, because of its original and insightful views, a must-read canon for the study of the Western fantastic literature, and it also gives an example of the structuralist criticism.

Key words: fantastic literature, Todorov, structuralism, literary genre
