摘　　要：《克兰福德镇》是盖斯凯尔夫人的重要作品,描写了封闭小镇里一群性格“怪异”的未婚女子。看似传统封闭的故事,通过新物质主义的视角,挖掘其中糖的内涵,会发现它同小说中其他有关异域事物的描写形成内在呼应。新物质主义倡导摒弃传统对物象征意义的关注,努力探讨物内在意义的意义。本文旨在通过新物质主义的方法,对小说中的糖这一重要物进行物性批评,揭露作者对资本主义的矛盾心理以及小说中潜藏的殖民主义。Cranford is one of the masterpieces of Mrs.Gaskell.This novel describes a group of"weird"unmarried women in an isolated town,Cranford.In this seemingly conservative and close story,one may explore the connotation of sugar,which is in concert with the description of other alien things,from the perspective of the New Materialism.New materialism advocates abandoning the traditional focus on the symbolic meaning of materials and strives to explore the meaning of the inner meaning of materials.Therefore,this article aims to analyze sugar,one of the most important materials in Cran ford,from the perspective of the New Materialism,in order to uncover the author's conflict attitude toward capitalism and the hidden colonialism in the novel.
