乌托邦小说是西方文化，尤其是英国文学的重要组成部分，托马斯•莫尔的《乌托邦》又是整个乌托邦文学的奠基之作。然而在研究领域，学者们通常将《乌托邦》从意识形态，政治理想，宗教等方面加以研究，很少从文学角度加以阐释，忽略了在十六世纪，《乌托邦》在托马斯•莫尔创作时是被作为文学读物供人们阅读这一历史事实。本文拟从叙事学的角度，尝试从叙事素材，叙事故事，和叙事本文上来分析和讨论托马斯•莫尔《乌托邦》这部小说的叙事艺术，从而拓展对《乌托邦》研究的新领域。

Utopian novels are vital parts of western culture, especially of the English literature. Utopia, which was written by Thomas More, is the foundation of the overall Utopian literature. Scholars have done a large amount of research on Utopia from the respects of ideology, politics, and religion in the past years, but the specific interpretation of Utopia in the field of literature, not to mention narratology, has been limited, with ignoring the fact that Utopia was read by people as a novel after it had been created by Thomas More during 16 Century. The thesis intends to analyze and discuss the narrative art of Utopia as a novel created by Thomas More, in order to expand new fields of research on Utopia.
