摘　　要：哥特小说从一开始就表现出对城堡的浓厚兴趣,在拉德克利夫那里,城堡更是常常作为作品的中心意象出现。城堡给人以崇高之感,这种崇高感的实质是对城堡主人的畏惧。在遥远的过去,正是这种畏惧把人从自然状态带入到社会生活中。对城堡的体验让观者以一种审美和感性的方式回到"社会性"诞生或重生的现场,从中我们可以清楚地看出霍布斯政治哲学的美学内涵以及柏克美学的政治哲学内涵,而拉德克利夫的程式性的城堡故事也可解读为一种包含了社会从何而来信息的原型神话。Gothic novels always have a keen interest in castles. In Ann Radcliffe’s works, the castle often features as the central image of the work. As an aesthetic object, the castle gives people a sense of the sublime, and the essence of this aesthetic experience is the fear of the person who owns and occupies the castle. In the distant antiquity, it was this fear that first brought people from the natural state to social life. The sublime experience of the castle allows the viewer to return to the scene of the birth(or rebirth) of sociality in an aesthetic way, from which we can clearly see the aesthetic connotation of Hobbes’ philosophy, as well as the political connotation of Burke’s aesthetics, and along this line, Radcliffe’s stylized castle story can also be interpreted as a prototype myth about the origin of society.
