摘　　要：威廉·葛德文是19世纪英国著名政治学家和小说家。国内学者多聚焦于葛德文的犯罪学、财产观和无政府主义等政治学说,对小说《卡列布·威廉斯》鲜有涉及,作品凸显的情感结构和习俗文化的政治意蕴甚至无人问津。事实上,小说阐发的习俗文化观与塞缪尔·理查森主张的平民化情感结构思想不谋而合,葛德文希冀维持社会权力机制的政治信念和集体情感结构,延续英国历史悠久的习俗文化。不仅如此,在挑战爱尔兰政治家埃德蒙·伯克的过程中,葛德文在帕梅拉身上找到创作灵感,他通过逆转帕梅拉的身份,把卡列布从激进平民塑造成有产乡绅,开辟了别具一格的政治路径。故此,小说是葛德文政治学思想的重要载体,作家把政治学说巧妙地融入到小说的宏大叙事中,揭露英国社会缺乏正义和有失公允的政治生态。William Godwin is a famous British political scientist and novelist in the 19th century.Scholars in China have mostly focused on his political theories on criminology,property view,and anarchism,but seldom,if ever,touched upon his Caleb Williams,let alone the explicit political implications of its emotional structure and custom culture.As a matter of fact,the view of custom culture expounded in the novel coincides with Samuel Richardson’s thought of populist emotional structure.Godwin hopes to maintain the political belief and collective emotional structure of the social power mechanism and sustain the long-standing British custom culture.Besides,in the process of challenging the Irish politician,Edmund Burke,Godwin found a creative inspiration in Pamela.By reversing Pamela’s identity,he creates a unique political path by turning Caleb from a radical average man to a squire of property.Therefore,the novel is an important carrier of Godwin’s political thought.The writer skilfully integrates his political theory into the grand narrative of the novel in order to expose the lack of justice and the unfair political ecology in British society.
