(1)Roger Rosenblatt’s book Black Fiction, in attempting to apply literary rather than sociopolitical criteria to its subject, successfully alters the approach taken by most previous studies. As Rosenblatt notes, criticism of Black writing has often served as an excuse for expounding on Black history. Addison Gayle’s recent work, for example, judges the value of Black fiction by overtly political standards, faring each work according to the notions of Black identity which it put forward.
(2)Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances, its authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological, and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology limits much of the fictional enterprise. Rosenblatt’s literary analysis discloses relations and connotations among works of Black fiction which solely political studies have overlooked or ignored.
(3)Writing acceptable criticism of Black fiction, however, presupposes giving satisfactory answers to a number of questions. First of all, is there a sufficient reason, other than the racial identity of the authors, to group together works by Black authors? Second, how does Black fiction make itself distinct from other modern fiction with which it is largely contemporaneous? Rosenblatt’s idea shows that Black fiction constitutes a distinct body of writing that has an identifiable, coherent literary tradition. Looking at novels written by Blacks over the last eighty years, he discovers recurring concerns and designs independent of chronology. These structures are thematic, and they spring, not surprisingly, from the central fact that the Black characters in these novels exist in a predominantly White culture, whether they try to conform to that culture or rebel against it.
(4)Black Fiction does leave some aesthetic questions open. Rosenblatt’s thematic analysis permits considerable objectivity; he even states that it is not his intention to judge the merit of the various works—yet his reluctance seems misplaced, especially since an attempt to appraise might have led to interesting results. For instance, some of the novels appear to be structurally diffused. Is this a defect, or are the authors working out of, or trying to create, a different kind of aesthetic? In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomer’s Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the popular theme that describes the fate against which Black heroes are struggling, a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression?
(5)In spite of such omissions, what Rosenblatt does include in his discussion makes for a keen and worthwhile study. Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels, bringing to our attention in the process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon Johnson’s Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. Its argument is tightly constructed, and its forthright, clear style exemplifies levelheaded and penetrating criticism.
Which of the following is NOT used in the discussion of Rosenblatt’s book?
选项
A、Personal opinion.
B、Definition of terms.
C、Specific examples.
D、Comparison and contrast.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。整篇文章中没有出现对某个词的定义,故选项B符合题意。题干要求选择作者未用到的写作手法,文章在第4段提及Roger Rosenblatt所写的评论时。不同意他所说的评判各个作品的优劣并不是他写作的本意这一说法。认为这种力图客观的做法不合时宜。可见作者在文中引入了个人观点,故A不合题意。在文章第1段中,作者借用了埃迪逊.盖勒的例子,同时在第4段中也分别用For instance和in addition来引用了两个例子,故选项C不合题意。同时,在文章第1段,指出罗森布赖特的《黑人小说》“successfully alters the approach taken by most previous studies”。将他的评论方式同以前的相比较,故文章中运用了comparison and contrast,因此选项D也不符合题意。
