Implied Author Eileen Chang's Narrative Strategy

Eileen Chang is one of the most influential writers in Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature. Her artistic achievements have gained widespread recognition. However, the publication of later works of Eileen Chang, such as Small Reunion, The Fall of the Pagoda, The Book of Change and Record of Foreign Homeland, shows us a great change between early and later style. This raises a challenge on how to comprehensively revalue the artistic achievement of the author in multi-faceted perspective to all researchers. Try to answer the question above, I used "implied author" to understand the whole style of Eileen Chang's works, focusing on a comprehensive understanding of her arts practice and recognized the efforts of her late works.The first section of the first chapter provides a background of criticism of Eileen Chang, outlining the existing "author" imagine. In the second section, I used the narrative theory framework to clarify the the complex relationship between real author and implied author. It should be noted that this work not deny the autobiographical nature in the late works of Eileen Chang. My aim is to get rid of undue attention to Eileen Chang's private life and offer my own Interpretation framework.The second section of chapter 2 analyzes the narrator in Eileen Chang's novels. Perspective, scene, space, Plot and other narrative units are fully discussed in this section. Chang had reconstructed the traditional narrative voice, and shaped her special narrative voice to express a modernism attitude. Second section I focus on the writing motivation of Small Reunion, explore a hidden string ling with the core of creative motivation - Experience and point out the author's effort on subvert her early feminist text.My research object in the third chapter is Zhang's bilingual rewritten with The Sing-song Girls of Shanghai, tap materials which the conventional research has been neglected, and outlines how did the author form her reader awareness and constantly adjust her narrative strategies, and ultimately complete her subtle simplicity style. Finally, based on reader reaction theory, this paper provides a new method to examine author in a postmodernism context.
