【摘要】：约翰·斯坦贝克是美国经济大萧条时期的作家，其作品在美国文学乃至世界文学史上都占据重要地位。1962年斯坦贝克凭借他的代表作《愤怒的葡萄》，美国经典文学作品之一，获得诺贝尔文学奖。《愤怒的葡萄》讲述了一个以乔德一家为代表的数以百万计的破产农民在经济大萧条时期被赶离他们的土地和家园去往希望之地加利福尼亚的故事。在《愤怒的葡萄》中,斯坦贝克通过对社会黑暗面的无情揭露，，描述了他所处时代穷苦人民的苦难遭遇，为读者了解二十世纪三十年代美国社会的真实情况打开了一扇大门。他的作品被无数次解读，这也为作者赢得了巨大的声誉和知名度。本文分为五个部分。第一部分是整个论文的导论部分,包括约翰·斯坦贝克及其小说《愤怒的葡萄》简要介绍,文献综述和论文主体框架。第一章介绍了新历史主义的主要理论。它包括两个部分:路易·蒙特罗斯的“历史和文本的互文性”理论以及斯蒂芬·格林布拉特的“文化诗学”理论。这两个新历史主义的代表从不同的角度深入研究并发展了这一理论。接下来的两个部分对“历史和文本的互文性”这一理论（包括文本的历史性和历史的文本性）在小说解读中的应用进行了具体说明。第二章主要探讨小说作为文本的历史性，并试着通过对斯坦贝克所处时代历史事件的分析来解读小说的历史意义，其中包括经济大萧条，沙尘暴以及俄克拉荷马州大迁移。第三章主要通过对小说中由不同时期的读者建构不同的历史的分析和在这一历史建构中出现的典型人物形象分析来研究小说历史的文本性。文章最后根据斯蒂芬·格林布拉特的理论集中讨论小说中主流意识形态的颠覆和抑制，揭露了文中主要人物对资本主义和父权制的颠覆以及对这一颠覆的抑制。总之,本文从新历史主义理论入手来分析小说《愤怒的葡萄》，揭示以往被其他学派所忽视的历史和文学的相互关系，通过将文本放回到当时创作的历史和社会语境中来解读文本。
[Abstract]:John Steinbeck was a writer during the Great Depression of the United States. His works played an important role in American literature and even in the history of world literature. In 1962, Steinbeck, with his masterpiece the Grapes of Wrath, was one of the American classics. Winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Grapes of Wrath tells the story of millions of bankrupt farmers, represented by the Joads, who were driven from their lands and homes to California during the Great Depression. In the Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck, by exposing the dark side of society mercilessly, describes the suffering of the poor people of his time and opens the door for readers to understand the true state of American society in the 1930s. His works have been interpreted countless times, which has won the author a great reputation and fame. This paper is divided into five parts. The first part is the introduction of the whole thesis, including John Steinbeck and his novel the Grapes of Wrath. The first chapter introduces the main theories of New historicism. It consists of two parts: the theory of history and intertextuality of texts by Louis Montrose and the theory of cultural poetics by Stephen Greenblatt. These two representatives of new historicism studied and developed the theory from different angles. The next two parts illustrate the application of the theory of "history and intertextuality of text" (including the history of text and the textuality of history) in the interpretation of novels. The second chapter mainly discusses the history of the novel as a text, and tries to interpret the historical significance of the novel by analyzing the historical events of Steinbeck's time, including the economic depression, sandstorm and Oklahoma migration. The third chapter mainly studies the textuality of the novel history through the analysis of the different history constructed by the readers in different periods and the analysis of the typical characters in the historical construction. Finally, according to Stephen Greenblatt's theory, this paper focuses on the subversion and suppression of the mainstream ideology in the novel, and reveals the subversion of capitalism and patriarchy and the suppression of this subversion by the main characters. In a word, this paper analyzes the novel the Grapes of Wrath from the perspective of New historicism, and reveals the relationship between history and literature, which has been neglected by other schools in the past. By putting the text back into the historical and social context of creation at that time to interpret the text.
