摘要

呂碧城一生特立獨行，中年後漫遊歐美各地，曾於1927至1928年走訪英倫半年，其重點有三：一是呂碧城以其女記者的慣習，對英倫城市文明與文化景觀進行知性而客觀的報導；獨特之處在於她面對西方文化時，不忘堅守自身文化主體或以中國情調解讀異國文化，顯示她的文化自信心。其次，呂碧城在旅次中習於閱報，往往特別關心社會新聞，尤其是訟案或靈異事件；也曾經為文論述倫敦靈學的發展。第三，呂碧城英倫旅居期間偶遇佛緣，乃至於開啟後期人生學佛的契機，同時她也關心倫敦的佛學發展，顯示後期朝向宗教修行之路的生命自覺。是以，本論文將探討做為民國古典才女的呂碧城，以女記者的姿態書寫英倫的文化景觀，並兼及其靈異／靈學敘事與偶遇佛緣而使後期生命轉向宗教修行之路的因緣，以探勘呂碧城這趟英倫旅行書寫中較為獨特的內涵，以及它之於呂碧城後期生命史的轉折意義。
