Abstract

Form and content are the two fundamental elements of literature. People generally hold this concept that content determines form and form serves content. The British female writer Doris Lessing’ experimental novel The Golden Notebook, however, has pluckily and creatively overturned this literary theory, thus it has become one of the greatest literature works of the twentieth century. The Golden Notebook tells the political, writing, love and spiritual dilemmas the protagonist Anna has experienced. The novel is developed around the main line of the development of Anna’s personality from splitting to integrated. The road of Anna’s spiritual integration has many similarities with the Jungian individuation theory. Thus, by focusing on Anna, this thesis will adopt some relevant theories of Jung psychology to analyze how the novel’s multi-dimensional structure and multi-perspective narrative express Anna’s individuation to get a new understanding of the relationship between form and content.

Key words: The Golden Notebook, Anna, form, individuation, Jungian psychology

摘        要

形式与内容是文学的两大基本要素。人们通常认为内容决定形式，形式服务于内容。而英国女作家多丽丝•莱辛的实验性小说《金色笔记》却大胆并创造性地颠覆了这一基本文学原理，从而成为二十世纪最伟大的文学著作之一。《金色笔记》讲述了主人公安娜所经历的政治、写作、感情和精神困境, 围绕安娜人格由分裂到整合这主线展开。安娜的精神整合之路与荣格的个性化理论有许多相似之处。因此，本论文将聚焦安娜，运用荣格心理学相关理论分析小说独具一格的多维结构和多重叙事角度如何表现了安娜的个性化历程，继而进一步研究小说内容与形式的关系。
