国内外学界对塞缪尔·理查逊的研究主要从书信体小说结构模式、情节安排、艺术特点、人物心理分析、女性主义、道德坚守等角度来进行。对理查逊小说的分析和解读主要集中在《帕梅拉》和《克拉丽莎》两部小说上,对其第三部小说《查尔斯·葛兰底森爵士传》的研究甚少。我们需要加强学术史的研究,运用更多的批评方法和审美理论进行对理查逊的研究。 The researches on Samuel Richardson by domestic and foreign scholars mainly focus on the structure model, plot arrangement, artistic characteristics, psychology analysis, feminism and moral adherence of epistolary novel. The analysis and interpretation of Richardson’s novels mainly focus on two novels, Pamela and Clarissa, and there is little research on the third novel, The Biography of Sir Charles Grandaon. We need to strengthen the study of academic history, the use of more criticism and aesthetic theory of Richard’s research.
