第三隻眼：近代中國轉型時期的歷史小說

本論文以近代中國歷史小說為主要討論對象，試圖勾勒歷史小說在近代中國轉型時期的特徵與變化，並探究這些特徵背後呈現何種現實關懷。本論文除去前言與結論，共分為四章。第二章以兩本西方歷史演義：《萬國演義》與《新列國志》為主要史料，討論轉型時期立場較傾向立憲的中國士人，如何理解與詮釋西方歷史，又如何藉由對西方進化的詮釋，做為己身政論的護身符。第三章以革命派的反專制歷史小說，討論「專制」與其歷史形象，如何被標舉為革命標的，並在訴求政治、種族乃至女界革命的歷史小說中呈現。第四章則試圖討論「自亡」這種關於亡國的觀念，何以成為清末民初亡國史小說與亡國論述中的主導傾向，甚至延續到民國後的亡國史小說中。第五章則以許嘯天系列宮闈演義為主要史料，討論該系列宮闈演義如何承載了民國後思想與社會的變化，及對晚清革命與反專制理想的承繼，又在哪些部分擺脫不了傳統艷史的侷限。藉由前述主題，本論文冀圖探究歷史小說如何與轉型時期時代背景的對話，並構成近代歷史小說與傳統歷史演義有別之處。

This dissertation takes modern Chinese historical novels as the main object of discussion, tries to outline the characteristics and changes of historical novels in the transition period of modern China, and explores what kind of realistic concerns behind these characteristics. This dissertation is divided into four chapters apart from the preface and conclusion. The second chapter takes two Western historical novels: "萬國演義" and "新列國志" as the main historical materials, and discusses how Chinese scholars who tended to constitutionalism during the transition period understood and interpret Western history, and how to interpret Western evolution as a talisman for political theory. The third chapter mainly discusses the anti-authoritarian historical novels of the revolutionary faction. It also discusses how "autocracy" and its historical imagery are regarded as revolutionary goals and presented in historical novels that appeal to political, racial, and even women's revolutions. The fourth chapter attempts to discuss how the concept of " self-destruction" about the subjugation of the country became the dominant tendency in the novels and discourses on the subjugation of the country in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and even continued in the historical novels on the subjugation of the country after the Republic of China. The fifth chapter takes Xu Xiaotian's series of palace romances as the main historical materials, and discusses how the series of palace romances carried the ideological and social changes after the Republic of China, and inherited the ideals of revolution and anti-authoritarianism in the late Qing Dynasty. In which parts can not get rid of the limitations of traditional history. With the aforementioned themes, this dissertation attempts to explore how historical novels have a dialogue with the context of the transitional era, and constitute the differences between modern historical novels and traditional historical romances.
