Struggling for an Escape: Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth=尋求逃離：伊迪斯·華頓的歡樂之家（英文版）

本書對美國著名女作家伊迪絲·華頓（1862—1937）的第一部小說《歡樂之家》進行了詳盡研究。書中對小說自出版以來的文獻進行了歷時性的、全范圍的梳理，并在此基礎上將女主人公命運與女性意識覺醒、社會階層分化、城市發展等相融合進行細致的文本分析。本書首次將以往評論家強調華頓作品中的故事而忽視其嫻熟的敘事策略為著手點，從敘事角度對文本中人物形象進行分析闡釋，并在這一過程中管窺華頓在20世紀之交對于美國社會中女性身份、男性氣質以及婚姻家庭等諸方面深入的倫理思考。
