This article argues that Woolf’s depiction of masculinity in the school scenes of The Waves is informed by her critical relationship to educational discourses surrounding public-school hero-worship that encourages an abandonment of individual identity in favour of a form of masculinity sanctioned by the public-school system. It considers criticisms of the public school’s hierarchical, moralistic pedagogy on behalf of both Woolf’s family, including her father, Leslie Stephen and uncle, Fitzjames Stephen; and members of her Bloomsbury circle, notably Lytton Strachey and Bertrand Russell, to illuminate a reading of Dr Crane and Percival. It argues that the novel’s formal innovation is integral to its political critique, pointing to previously unconsidered literary allusions to Tom Brown’s School Days in Woolf’s portrayal of Dr Crane to suggest Woolf’s ironic relationship to the educational ethos of the public school. It further notes that Woolf’s narrative devices render Percival, the novel’s public-school hero, an ambivalent figure that exposes the gulf between heroic identity and true individuality.

弗吉尼亚伍尔夫的波浪和英雄崇拜：身份、男子气概和教育

本文认为，伍尔夫在《浪潮》的学校场景中对男子气概的描述是由她与围绕公立学校英雄崇拜的教育话语的批判关系所决定的，这些话语鼓励放弃个人身份，转而支持一种受到公众认可的男子气概形式——学校系统。它代表伍尔夫的家人，包括她的父亲莱斯利·斯蒂芬和叔叔菲茨詹姆斯·斯蒂芬，对公立学校的等级制度和道德教育法进行了批评；和她的布卢姆斯伯里圈子的成员，特别是利顿·斯特拉奇和伯特兰·罗素，来阐明对克兰博士和珀西瓦尔的解读。它认为小说的形式创新是其政治批判不可或缺的一部分，在伍尔夫对克莱恩博士的描绘中，指出了以前未曾考虑过的对汤姆·布朗的学校时光的文学典故，以暗示伍尔夫与公立学校教育精神的讽刺关系。它还进一步指出，伍尔夫的叙事手法使小说中的公立学校英雄珀西瓦尔成为一个矛盾的人物，暴露了英雄身份和真实个性之间的鸿沟。
