摘　　要：近来,随着阅读史与心态史、思想史的跨界交融逐渐发展为学术热点,《破产书商札记》因对书商、读者及作者三重文化职能的巧妙糅合引发了新的关注。然而,学界在侧重阅读史研究时,忽略了战争创伤作为叙事的“隐性进程”对文本显性结构乃至主流战争书写的补充与颠覆。《札记》因袭伍尔夫“非战场”式笔触描摹炮弹休克症之余,更将个体的身心创痛与身份认知障碍引向了文化创伤、记忆书写及遗忘等深层问题。通过反讽爱德华时代理想、帝国意识与商业资本异化特征,《札记》描绘了战后英国文化的矛盾分裂景观。Thanks to the interdisciplinary consolidation that happened to the history of reading,of mentality and of thoughts,The Private Papers of a Bankrupt Bookseller regained some attention for its ingenious integration of the triple cultural functions of the bookseller,the reader and the writer into a single person.Still,while leaning heavily on study paradigms such as the history of reading,we tend to neglect those war trauma narratives which,when deemed as“covert progression”,actually both supply and subvert the overt narrative structure of Private Papers as well as the mainstream writings on the Great War.By following the so-called Woolfian“non-combatant”perspective in delineating the shell-shock effects,William Darling led the personal psychosomatic wounds and cognitive impairment problems from an individual level to a cultural memory and national,thus institutional mnemonics-oblivion level.Once read in a sardonic way,Private Papers indeed reveals many sarcasms and mockeries with regard to the Edwardian ideals,to the snobbish imperialism and the alienating characteristics of commercial capitalism.By reading Private Papers,it is not hard for us to view a divided cultural landscape of the post-war England.
