本文以晚唐時期柳祥所撰之《瀟湘錄》志怪小說集為研究對象。《瀟湘錄》於現今研究中所受之關注較少,然而在小說發展較為衰落之晚唐,《瀟湘錄》對小說題材之運用有其獨到之處,並明顯有藉小說以抒發其思想意蘊的創作目的,可說是晚唐較具特色的小說集。 本文主要分作三部分,第一部分探討《瀟湘錄》之編纂流傳情形,梳理《瀟湘錄》之作者、成書年代及流傳情形,並探討書名取作「瀟湘」的用意。第二部分關注《瀟湘錄》的題材源流與敘事特色,探討異類婚配、諧隱精怪、人變異類、木鳥飛行等四題材之題材源流,並分析《瀟湘錄》對各題材之發揮,凸顯其敘事特色。第三部分則歸納統整《瀟湘錄》對政治事件、世間倫常、生命意義之論述,藉此觀察柳祥之思想特徵。
