3. 国内外研究现状

Overseas study Foreign scholars#8217; study involve sociology, writing technique, theory of narratology, subject matter inquiry, aesthetic research and many other directions. Jackslay thought that McEwan explored different kinds of human relationships, especially on the relationship between men and women ( Jackslay, 1991, P10). Brian Fanny analyzed the steam of consciousness in the novel and thought that the whole novel was always discussing the question of how to write novel ( Brian Fanny, 2004, P70). In the article published by James Harold, he wrote that Atonement disclosed that narrative imagination was not static or unified. It was a combination of dynamic state and multipole. It controlled imprecise language by the complex relation between knowledge and morality. ( James Harold, 2005, P139). Peter Mathews pointed out that although there was few fascism and Nazism mentioned in this novel, it was always existed in the outside world and daily life. ( Peter Mathews, 2006, P154). Domestic research situation Compares to the prevalent condition abroad, the domestic research is in a ascent stage. First of all, the study on writing technique becomes the key point in academic sector. For example, intertextuality, indeterminacy, techniques of defamiliarization in postmodernism novels. Hanjie and Zhang Liming showed the readers the narrative network McEwan made in the novel and intertextuality though unscrambling the tactics of the text. (Hanjie, Zhang Liming, 2011, Writer Magazine). In Zhangxing#8217;s opinion, she thought that in Atonement, the writer used many kinds of techniques of defamiliarization. It gave the readers a new aesthetic feeling. It had a great literariness. She analyzed some techniques like juxtaposition, irony, post-modern and many other techniques in Atonement. (Zhangxing, 2013, P7). Besides, many critics and scholars discuss the subject of the novel, especially on the salvation, growth and humanitarian spirit. In a word, scholars unscrambled this book from different angles. Their study promote readers#8217; understanding of Atonement. Growth runs through human#8217;s whole life and it is always the topic of human beings and culture. So, the subject of growth has a great value of research.
