摘　　要：我国的勃朗特姐妹研究经历了从译介到批评的演变过程,其视角也从前期较为单一的阶级分析发展为多种理论与方法共存的局面;尤其是20世纪90年代中期以后,这一领域受西方学术界影响,涌现了诸多以现当代文艺理论为基础的批评著述,其中包括颇有特色的中西比较研究。在紧跟国际研究前沿方面,我国的勃朗特研究在最近二十年取得了长足进展,但与西方一流学者的研究成果相比,我国批评界在批评深度和原创性方面尚有潜力可挖,众多评述也良莠不齐。对于深受浪漫主义文学影响的小说家,我国批评界对其作品的浪漫主义因素关注不足也是该领域今后需要面对的诸多课题之一。Like foreign literary studies in China in general, Bront6 criticism went through two major stages during the first sixty years of the PRC. Studies done prior to 1978 were guided chiefly by politically motivated excess of attention to class struggle while those after appear less ideologically inflected. Western-style, highly professional criticism of the Bront^s＇ works, however, did not appear until the 1990s. These changes notwithstanding, Chinese scholarship on the Bront^s is consistently characterized by a preference for the novels at the expense of the poetry, a preoccupation with major works, and the relative lack of interest in Anne Bront~. Research on Charlotte Bront6 during the 1949 - 1978 period focused primarily on her major novel, Jane Eyre, whose love theme was treated by Chinese scholars as a form of class struggle. Hailed for its critical description of the ＂depravity＂ of the wealthy, the novel was blamed nevertheless for its failure to propose a viable alternative to capitalism. The value of criticism in the 1980s remained limited by the inertia of this mindset and by the superficiality of the analysis whenever it managed to escape it. Criticism after the 1990s branched into several larger trends, which included character analysis, especially that of Bertha Mason and her relation to Jane Eyre, gender/class analysis, archetypal criticism, post-colonial studies and comparative studies. There was an increasingly perceptible attempt at originality among many critics although some ended up hunting for mere novelty. One handy example is an article that argues the androgynous nature of Jane Eyre, which condition, according to the critic, allows her to achieve gender equality otherwise off limits to women. For the same reason, Chinese critics may turn even more radical than liberal intellectuals in the West, as in the contention that Jane＇s elevated status is a questionable one built on the foundation of the imprisonment of Rochester＇s Creole wife and slavery in the Caribbean＇s.
