【摘要】 自宋代以来,中国古典长篇小说卷帙浩瀚,发展到明清时期,随着历史演义、英雄传奇、神魔鬼怪、世俗人情等题材的不断丰富,作家创作技巧日臻成熟,长篇小说的结构布局呈现出多样性,结局作为其中一部分,也形成了独特的叙事模式。在封闭文本意义的基础上,明清长篇小说结局突破了以往简单的交待模式,无论在情节收束还是叙事手法上都做了纵深探索,以创作情感的矛盾来展现作品生态的真实,以美学风格的悖反来加强阅读效果,以叙事节奏的缓急来烘托情节轻重,在作家的不断创作和发掘中达到了前所未有的艺术高度。本文对明清主要长篇小说结局进行了系统梳理,结合小说结局在整体结构中的功能和作用,对结局叙事理论、主要小说类型结局模式以及结局的文化意涵做了探究和阐释,以期对明清长篇小说独特的结局艺术加以归纳和总结。全文共分为五个部分:“引言”部分大致梳理了明清长篇小说结局艺术研究现状,介绍了西方结局理论研究成果;同时框定了“明清长篇小说”的研究范围,在“结局”与“结尾”的辨析中,进一步明确了小说“结局”是一个段而非点的概念,另外简单介绍了本文研究思路和研究方法。正文分上、中、下三个篇章,对结局理论、不同题材结局模式、文化意涵三方面做了探讨。上篇“明清长篇小说结局的结构功能”是本文研究的理论基础和逻辑起点,主要探讨了结局与结构、开篇的关系,归纳了不同小说结构走向结局的不同方式,尝试划定结局的大致临界点,并概括了明清长篇小说普遍的结局范式和类型。中篇“明清长篇小说结局的叙事模式”重点选取了明清长篇小说中较有代表性的四种小说类型:历史演义小说、英雄传奇小说、神魔小说、世情小说为研究对象,在具体结局模式的分析中总结了四类小说的结局特征,并结合部分成就较高的小说做了进一步探讨,注重其相互借鉴性和承继性。下篇“明清长篇小说结局的文化意涵”回归结局的意义内涵,联系时代背景和民族审美心理,从哲学、宗教、道德、社会等方面对明清长篇小说结局的文化意涵做了阐释,在做文学虚构与社会历史的互动分析中,延伸小说结局的社会文化功能。结语部分对本文所作研究做了规律性的总结,着重强调梳理了结局叙事理论,以期为今后结局研究理论的拓进奠定坚实的基础;同时也希望联系现代小说及其它叙事文学结局,在比较和发散研究中,进一步丰富中国小说结局艺术理论。
