19世纪是小说地位不断提升直至辉煌的世纪,在众多为小说辩护的作家当中,左拉占有一席。左拉对小说的辩护与其自然主义思想结合起来,使得在自然主义与浪漫主义斗争的同时也伴随着文体之间的斗争。在左拉那里,自然主义运动的推动与小说地位的提升成为两项相因互动的事业。 Nineteenth Century is the continuous upgrading of the novel status until the brilliant century, among many writers who defended the novel, Zola occupies a seat. Zola’s defense of the novel, combined with his naturalistic ideas, allowed the struggle between naturalism and romanticism along with the struggle between the genres. In Zola there, the promotion of the naturalist movement and the rise of the status of the novel have become two mutually interactive undertakings.
