《科學怪人》作者瑪麗·雪萊十篇哥德式短篇小說精選。在痛失子女與丈夫的動盪歲月中,雪萊藉創作維持生計。這些故事顛覆了維多利亞時代父權社會的階級與厭女標準。融入自傳暗示,故事穿梭於浮士德交易、時空旅行、分身與吸血鬼之間,將哥德式不祥氛圍建立在人道關懷上,揭示最可怕的怪物其實是人類。

內容簡介

瑪麗·雪萊(Mary Shelley)開創哥德文學界限的十篇最佳短篇小說。

瑪麗·雪萊最廣為人知的作品是《科學怪人》(Frankenstein),但在這部代表作發表後的幾年裡,她接連失去了幾名子女和丈夫,陷入生活困境。為了維持自己與唯一倖存孩子的生計,她創作了小說、詩歌、短篇故事等。本書收錄了雪萊在這一動盪時期創作的十篇傑作,它們與《科學怪人》一樣,顛覆了維多利亞時代父權社會的階級主義與厭女標準,對生命與人性的本質進行了深刻沉思。雪萊的故事跨越了流派,從浪漫劇與通俗劇到童話與諷刺,再到科幻與哥德,均融入了對雪萊個人生活的自傳式暗示。浮士德式的交易、分身、時空旅行,以及吸血鬼與巫術的蹤影隱現於故事中,但同時也注入了雪萊溫柔的情感及對時代不平等現象的敏銳觀察。雪萊將哥德文學建立在人道主義之上,利用該流派的標誌——時代錯亂、偽英雄、不祥氛圍與陰暗地形——來表明,最黑暗的怪物可能早已存在於我們之中。

Ten of Mary Shelley’s best short stories that push the boundaries of Gothic literature

Mary Shelley is most known for Frankenstein, but in the years following the release of her magnum opus, which were beset by the loss of several children and her husband, she produced novels, poems, short stories, and other forms of writing to sustain herself and her only surviving child. Collected here from this tumultuous period of Shelley’s life are ten of her finest tales that, like Frankenstein, subvert the classist and misogynistic standards of patriarchal Victorian society and offer deep meditations on the nature of life and humanity. Shelley’s stories defy genre, ranging from romance and melodrama to fairy tale and satire to speculative and the Gothic, all mixed with biographical allusions to Shelley’s personal life. Faustian bargains, doppelgangers, time travel, and hints of vampirism and witchcraft loom through these stories but are infused with Shelley’s tender emotionalism and conscious eye for the inequalities of her day. Shelley grounds the Gothic in the humane, leveraging hallmarks of the genre — anachronisms, false heroes, foreboding moods, and shadowy terrains — to show that the darkest monsters may be those already among us.

作者介紹

Mary Shelley was born in London in 1797, daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, famous radical writers of the day. In 1814 she met and soon fell in love with the then-unknown Percy Bysshe Shelley. In December 1816, after Shelley’s first wife committed suicide, Mary and Percy married. They lived in Italy from 1818 until 1822, when Shelley drowned, whereupon Mary returned to London to live as a professional writer of novels, stories, and essays until her death in 1851.
