Late-eighteenth-century English cultural authorities seemingly concurred that women readers should favor history, seen as edifying, than fiction, which was regarded as frivolous and reductive. Readers of Marry Ann Hanway’s novel Andrew Stewart, or the Northern Wanderer, learning that its heroine delights in David Hume’s and Edward Gibbon’s histories, could conclude that she was more virtuous and intelligent than her sister, who disdains such reading. Likewise, while the na?ve, novel-addicted protagonist of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, Catherine Morland, finds history a chore, the sophisticated, sensible character Eleanor Tilney enjoys it more than she does the Gothic fiction Catherine prefers. Yet in both cases, the praise of history is more double-edged than it might actually appear. Many readers have detected a protofeminist critique of history in Catherine’s protest that she dislikes reading books filled with men “and hardly any women at all.” Hanway, meanwhile, brings a controversial political edge to her heroine’s reading, listing the era’s two most famous religious skeptics among her preferred authors. While Hume’s history was generally seen as being less objectionable as his philosophy, there were widespread doubts about his moral soundness even as a historian by the time that Hanway was writing, and Gibbon’s perceived tendency to celebrate classical paganism sparked controversy from the first appearance of his history of Rome. [br] The highlighted sentence exemplifies which of the following?
选项
A、Cultural authorities’ attempt to use novels to support their view about the value of reading fiction
B、Eighteenth-century women authors’ attempts to embody in their work certain cultural authorities’ views about reading
C、A point about the educational value of reading books about history
D、An instance in which a particular judgment about the value of reading history is apparently presupposed
E、A challenge to an assumption about eighteenth-century women’s reading habits
答案
D
解析
高亮句子中,只能看出Hanway小说中的女主人公喜欢读历史,但是读者们却一厢情愿地认为读历史的女主人公更高尚,这种对于读历史的价值判断很明显是提前设定的。于是D正确。
