中文摘要：在现代文学中，意识流手法几乎可以掩盖任何其他的小说技巧的光芒，然而，它从来都不是一种拥有共同规范或宣言的流派。这种手法被美国的威廉福克纳、英国的弗吉尼亚伍尔夫、法国的马塞尔普鲁斯特等众多作家广泛使用。

这种技巧的出现是由许多因素决定的，其中最基本的因素是这些小说家的成长经历。很明显，他们的社会地位、教育背景、种族、亲属等因素结合在一起，形成了他们成长经历。作者将通过他们的作品片段、西格蒙德·弗洛伊德的精神分析、威廉·詹姆斯的心理学理论和亨利·柏格森的生命哲学分析以上这些因素。

随着社会的进步，许多领域已经得到了深入的研究，而对意识流的探索只是冰山一角。随着对影响意识流使用的因素的探索不断深入，研究意识流小说家的创作与其成长经验的关系，旨在更进一步研究这些杰出的意识流作品，从而使世界文学更加生机勃勃、永垂不朽。
