摘　　要：《日与夜》被认为是弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫最传统的小说，因而也最受批评家忽略。本文从空间视角对这部作品进行重新审视，指出《日与夜》远比表面上看起来的更具有颠覆性、更具有实验精神。它看似传统的叙事外表下掩盖着的是公共空间与家庭空间、男性体验与女性体验等传统秩序持续不断地挑战和颠覆，同时也对以婚姻所代表的社会体系和价值体系进行质疑。通过凯瑟琳对客厅这一空间的反抗，伍尔夫表现了家庭生活空间对女性身份建构的束缚和阻碍，而对工作和公共空间的质疑也让伍尔夫与同时代的女权主义者区别开来，她在利用公共空间和家庭空间这一二元对立的同时将两者的界限模糊，或者说，她对两个领域对立的使用恰恰是为了将这一对立解构。然而，在创作《日与夜》的过程中，伍尔夫也已经意识到在传统的叙事形式下进行颠覆所具有的局限性，因而在此后的创作中也抛弃了爱情婚姻在叙事中的中心位置。Published in 1919, Night and Day is considered as Virginia Woolf＇s most traditional novel, and thus is consistently ignored by critics. This paper re-examines this novel from the perspective of space, arguing that it is much more subversive and experimental than it appears to be.What lurks behind its seemingly conventional form of narrative is Woolfs consistent challenge and subversion of the hierarchies represented by the distinctions of public and private sphere, male and female experiences; meanwhile, she problematizes the social system and social values that underpin the patriarchal marriage. Through Katharine＇s drawing-room resistance, Woolf exposes the restrictions of domestic space imposed upon women in their education and self-construction. However, unlike feminists of her time, she also questions the idea of women entering the public sphere as a solution to their problem of identity construction. Woolf intends to blur the boundaries between public and domestic spaces the moment she invokes them, or, it might be more appropriate to say, she invokes such boundaries only for the purpose of deconstructing them. Nevertheless, it should be noted that Wool f has realized the limitations of her literary experimentation within the traditional form of narrative, which may account for the fact that the courtship plot never occupies a central position in her novels after Night and Day.
