Catherine Stimpson calls for a reassessment of literary merit based on affective standards—on how literary works make readers feel—rather than on the aesthetic standards traditionally used to define the canon, the body of literary works generally accepted as “great”, Stimpson advocates an alterative para canon for literary works, such as Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, because she believes such works have been unjustifiably neglected by unsympathetic scholars. According to Stimpson, a paracanonical work may or may not have literary value by traditional standards; rather, its worth consists in its “capacity to inspire love.”
Elizabeth Barnes criticizes Stimpson’s approach as subjective and therefore uncritical. “Although Stimpson never actually defines ‘love,’ she implies that a lovable work is one that so engages the reader that its worldview becomes inseparable from the reader’s own” (Stimpson acknowledges that the values reflected in Little Women may have subconsciously influenced her invention of the para canon). For Barnes, the conflation of ethics and aesthetics implicit in Stimpson’s approach (in which “good ”can refer to something morally sound and/or above average in quality) demonstrates the ambiguity inherent in such concepts as goodness and love. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that Barnes would be most likely to agree with which of the following characterizations of Stimpson’s approach to assessing literary works?
选项
A、It requires the application of more exacting standards than are traditionally employed
B、Its application would result in the exclusion from the para canon of most of the works included in the canon
C、It accords recognition to too large and diverse a body of literature
D、It involves the use of a criterion that is not rigorously defined
E、It results in evaluations that are more objective than those based on traditional aesthetic standards
答案
D
解析
本题考查的是巴尔内斯对斯丁普森的标准的态度,应该选择和模糊、主观有关的选项,故选项D正确。A项在巴尔内斯眼中,斯丁普森的方法是不严谨的,选项A的表述相反。B项根据第一段第三句,超越经典和经典之间确实有交集,但是“从超越经典中被排除出去”的经典作品是否是大多数的,这一点文章看不出来。C项尽管斯丁普森的方法很主观,但是看不出这一方法“滥情”,给太多的作品赋予认可。E项斯丁普森的方法主观,而非客观。
