《世说新语》是魏晋南北朝时期志人小说的代表作,它生动地记述了魏晋社会的诸多方面,展现了魏晋士族的精神风貌。《世说新语》及刘注述及的人物总计多达一千五百余人,其中有一批独特风采的女性,她们虽不是主角,但却是全书庞大的人物体系中不可或缺的。魏晋时代是中国历史上一个十分特殊的时期,当时新的思想风潮波及了社会的各阶层,也影响到了当时的广大女性群体,使得这群女性的存在具有特别的意义。
世人对《世说新语》女性的研究实在蔚为大观,但这并不意味着相关课题的意涵已被发掘殆尽,无可再观。本文注意到,《世说新语》的编撰者特别设立了《贤媛》一门来描写当时的女性人物,以“贤”尊其德,以“媛”彰其雅,向我们展示了魏晋是女性的独特风采,可见当时的女性及社会的女性观确实有特别处。因此,本文以该篇为立足点,结合其它篇章,来讨论这些女性的特质及背后的社会意识。
