Before feminist literary criticism emerged in the 1970s, the nineteenth-century United States writer Fanny Fern was regarded by most
critics
(when considered at all) as a prototype of weepy sentimentalism –a pious, insipid icon of conventional American culture. Feminist reclamations of Fern, by contrast, emphasize her nonsentimental qualities, particularly her sharply humorous social criticism. Most feminist scholars find it difficult to reconcile Fern’s sardonic social critiques with her effusive celebrations of many conventional values.
Attempting to resolve this contradiction, Harris concludes that Fern employed flowery rhetoric strategically to disguise her subversive goals beneath apparent conventionality.
However, Tompkins proposes an alternative view of sentimentality itself, suggesting that sentimental writing could serve radical, rather than only conservative, ends by swaying readers emotionally, moving them to embrace social change. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that Tompkins would be most likely to agree with which of the following about the critics mentioned in the passage?
选项
A、They accurately characterize the overall result Fern is aiming to achieve.
B、They are not as dismissive of Fern as some feminist critics have suggested.
C、They exaggerate the extent to which Fern intended her writing to serve a social purpose.
D、They wrongly assume that sentimental must be a pejorative term.
E、They fail to recognize that sentimental rhetoric plays to readers emotions.
答案
E
解析
根据汤普金斯的观点,弗恩的多愁善感最终是服务于她颠覆社会的目的。但是评论家只关注到了多愁善感,没有关注颠覆社会,因此这些评论家没能认识到多愁善感的辞藻对读者情感起到的作用。A项弗恩的目标是颠覆社会,但是评论家并没有认识到这一点。B项从文中无法得知评论家和女权主义者是否瞧不起弗恩。C项评论家根本没有关注到弗恩的社会目的。D项文中评论家没有说多愁善感是褒义词还是贬义词。
