十八世紀英國女小說家珍奧斯汀常被稱為是一優雅的作者，其作品也被稱為是精煉文雅的。然而，從珍奧斯汀同時期的評論家與讀者，到二十世紀的學者與讀者，偶爾都批評她的小說作品是粗俗的。為了探討粗鄙/俗性和珍奧斯汀作品之間的關聯性，本論文探究粗鄙/俗性在十八世紀文學與文化裡的意義。本論文首先研究在十八世紀哲學、行為文學指南、社會理論，及歷史中的粗鄙/俗性，得論粗鄙/俗性在十八世紀的定義與現今的認知不同。例如，缺乏理性思考或言語上的失誤對兩百年前的哲學家來說都是粗俗的，而在行為文學指南裡，過剩的情緒與過少的禮貌同樣鄙俗。本論文繼續探討珍奧斯汀小說中的粗鄙/俗性，並發現其小說中的粗鄙/俗性多是一瞬之間的表現，並反映在日常生活當中。本研究討論三個主題：牌戲與賭博、表演行為，與食物及飲食。在此三個主題中，珍奧斯汀小說裡粗鄙/俗性的人物、對話，與行為多符合十八世紀對粗鄙/俗性的定義。在牌戲與賭博裡，奧斯汀用不同的遊戲揭露出不同的角色性格，並挖掘遊戲與演戲之間的關係。她發現牌戲玩家與表演者間的關聯，而在表演行為裡，她的批評對象是那些迫不及待地歌唱、演戲，與跳舞的人們。在食物與飲食裡，奧斯汀把食物當成象徵並影射角色的個性或角色間關係的張力，而食客們的粗鄙/俗性就表現在他們對於吃的癡迷與貪婪。本論文對奧斯汀研究的價值在於我將粗鄙/俗性看為一文學主題而非社會或文化現象，也在於我將此一文學主題與奧斯汀的小說連結。藉著此論文，我希望未來的學者可以繼續粗鄙/俗性在文學裡的研究，也希望能開啟不同文學時期的粗鄙/俗性研究。

The eighteenth-century English novelist Jane Austen is often called an elegant author and her novels refined. However, from her contemporary critics and readers to the twentieth-century or twenty-first century readers and scholars, one can find that Jane Austen and her works are sometimes called “vulgar.” In order to see how “vulgarity” and Austen’s novels are connected, this study explores the meaning of vulgarity in eighteenth-century literature and culture. The research first examines vulgarity in philosophical contexts, conduct book literature, social theories, and history, concluding that the concept of vulgarity in eighteenth-century England is different from that in our modern time. For example, unreasonable thinking and linguistic mistakes were both considered vulgar by philosophers two hundred years ago, while in conduct book literature, the excess of emotion and the lack of manners are equally vulgar. The research next examines vulgarity in Jane Austen’s novels, finding that vulgarity in her novels appears in brief moments and are reflected in daily life activities. This research discusses three motifs: cards and gaming, performing arts, and food and dining. In these three motifs, Jane Austen’s vulgar characters, dialogues, and behaviors all follow the definition of vulgarity in the eighteenth-century English context. In cards and gaming, Austen discloses characters with different card games and explores the relationship between gaming and acting. She finds the connections between gamers and performers, and in performing arts, her targets are those who cannot wait to show off their ability to sing, play, act, and dance. In food and dining, Austen uses foods as symbols and implies characters’ personalities or the intensity of their relationships and the vulgarity of the eaters is shown in their obsessiveness with food and gluttony. The contribution this dissertation makes to Austen scholarship is that I treat vulgarity as a literary motif rather than a social or cultural phenomenon, and that I link up this literary motif and Austen’s novels. With this dissertation, I hope that the future scholars can elaborate the study of vulgarity in literature, and that they can begin the study of vulgarity in different periods of literature.
