摘　　要：菲尔丁最后一部小说《阿米莉亚》写作于消费社会兴起之初,它呈现了当时的社会变迁和消费转型,揭示了消费社会运作的逻辑及其蕴含的问题。然而,评论界对小说中消费的探讨并不多见,这是由于文学研究者忽略了18世纪消费史的发展,仅视消费为现当代文学的重要命题。因此,交错阅读小说文本和思想史文本,有助于探求菲尔丁关于消费与社会、个人及贫困等问题的洞见。通过分析小说主人公的过度消费,频频举债和脱贫困难等相关情节,可以理解作者对奢侈去道德化言说的批判,对社会狂欢无序的认识,及对丰裕中贫困的忧虑。Through Amelia,a novel written at the emergence of the consumer society,Fielding not only depicts the social transformations and changing patterns of consumption at the time but also reveals the logic of the consumer society as well as its problems.However,the criticism of consumption in the novel is rare,as literary scholars ignore the development of the history of consumption in the 18th Century and only consider consumption as an essential theme in modern and contemporary literature.Therefore,through a cross reading of the novel and related historical texts,this study attempts to explore Fielding's insights into the influence of consumption on society,the individuals,and poverty.By analyzing plots related to the protagonists'excessive consumption,their frequent debts,and their inability to alleviate poverty,it is possible to understand Fielding's criticism of the demoralization of luxury,his perception of the disorder of social carnival,and his concern about poverty in the affluent society.
