田山花袋创作的中篇小说《棉被》被誉为日本自然主义、私小说的开山之作,对日本文学史的发展意义非凡。小说主要描写了“新女性”的代表人物芳子,在时代巨变和思想转型期的社会背景下,自我的觉醒和微弱的抗争。不幸的是,在男性占绝对主导地位的社会里,“新女性”虽然取得了一定的社会权力却依然无法摆脱被男性支配的命运,抗争也注定败北。 The novella “Quilt,” a novel by Tian Shan Hua Dai, is praised as the pioneering work of Japanese naturalism and private fiction. It has an extraordinary significance for the development of Japanese literary history. The novel mainly describes the representative figure of “new female”. Under the social background of the great changes and ideological transition, the novel awakens and weakly contends. Unfortunately, in a society in which men predominate, “new women ” can not get rid of the fate of being dominated by men despite having obtained certain social power, and the struggle is doomed to be defeated.
