安托瓦内特是英国当代女作家简·里斯(1894—1979)的小说《藻海无边》(1966)的女主人公,她是简·里斯继19世纪英国女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特(1816—1855)的小说《简·爱》(1847)之后重塑的男主人公罗切斯特的前妻。玛丽·卡森是澳大利亚当代女作家考琳·麦卡洛(1937—)的传奇式家世小说《荆棘鸟》(1977)中的女牧场主。两位女性所处的时代背景、社会环境和各自的生活经历不尽相同,前者19世纪早期从英国在西半球的殖民地西印度群岛随夫来到英国,从带着三万英镑陪嫁的奴隶制度解体后的“奴隶主”千金小姐变成身无分文幽禁在顶楼上的疯女人;后者从19世纪后期北半球的爱尔兰只身来到南半球的澳大利亚,从几乎没有什么财产可言的穷姑娘变成拥有一千三百万英镑产业的女富翁。她们各自的心理气质也同样迥然有异,耐人寻味。
