Abstract
Michael Cunningham is an American famous writer. The Hours, published in 1998, is his third works, which helped him win the Pulitzer Prize in 1999. This novel is written on the base of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway to pay his honor to Virginia Woolf and her classic work.
This thesis will focus on the intertextuality between The Hours and Mrs. Dalloway to analyse The Hours. And it will study the continuation and development of Mrs. Dalloway in The Hours, in terms of the writing techniques like the use of stream of consciousness, the imageries, the continuation of the feminism and the development of the homosextuality. Cunningham has expressed his views towards the relationship between women and men in The Hours, which should be harmonious rather than contradictory. And the trend towards the indistinct homosextuality in Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway has also been developed.
Keywords The Hours Mrs. Dalloway stream of consciousness feminism homosextuality
迈克尔•坎宁安是美国著名作家，其发表于1998 年的小说《时时刻刻》是他的第三部著作，他因该小说于1999年获得了普利策奖。《时时刻刻》是以弗吉尼亚•伍尔夫的《达洛卫夫人》为蓝本创作而成的，英语毕业论文，表达了他对伍尔夫及其经典著作的敬意。
本文将从《时时刻刻》与《达洛卫夫人》互文性联系的角度略论《时时刻刻》，英语论文题目，从意识流写作手法的戏仿、意象的戏仿、女性主义思想的继承及同性恋倾向的发展方面探讨前者对后者的继承与发展。坎宁安在《时时刻刻》中表达了他的后女性主义的观点：男性和女性之间的联系应是融洽的而不是对立的；伍尔夫《达洛卫夫人》中模糊的同性恋倾向也在《时时刻刻》中有所发展。
