求问大神阅读机经146作者态度

JennyXuhuoxingUID: 3866892

Passage 146 The editors of the essay collection Romantic biography tell us repeatedly that biography is an invention of the Romantic period in British literature (late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries), yet we are never shown that process of invention motion. Hazlitt, the most prominent example of the Romantic biographer, is almost invisible. The Romantic period was not just the period in which biography was invented—or, rather, the period in which some of its informing principles were invented, since biography could just as easily be said to have originated in the scandalous memoirs that formed part of the pre-Romantic culture of the novel. It was also the period in which biography, through its sheer ubiquity, became an object of major ideological significance within British culture.
1. The passage mentions the "scandalous memoirs ” that were written prior to the Romantic period primarily in order to
A. indicate an alternative account of the origins of biography
B. compare these memoirs to Romantic biography
C. explain how biography became ubiquitous in British culture
D question the ideological significance accorded to biography
E. suggest that biographies were not as popular as memoir

想请教一下:看一二句我觉得作者想说：RP不是传记发明的时期。看三四句not just..was also又觉得他在说：RP不仅仅是传记发明的时期，还是传记广泛传播的时期。那作者态度到底是啥啊TAT？？他到底觉得RP是不是传记发明的时期？

重点应该是or, rather, 更好看明白的语序是这样的：rather than saying "The Romantic period was (not just) the period in which biography was invented", biography could just as easily be said to have originated in the scandalous memoirs. 这样明白作者真正的重点是在后半句。 一开始我以为第三句本身是一个not just, but also的关系，但第三句和第四句才是not just, but also的关系，第三句内部的romantic period和pre-romantic scandalous memoirs只是一个rather比较的关系

首先这个问的是作者提及某一段话的目的，而非作者的态度，两者之间有微妙的差异。

然后作者写这句话的目的是，给出一个更准确的对于自传的创造的说法。
即关于自传，什么是在Romantic period被创造的，而什么是在此之前已经存在的。

然后找答案，A最符合。

很抱歉我没法给出一个解释性的答案，因为这种理解很大程度上是意会的。

另外
这个文章是不是讲 这个时期，既是biography出现的时期也是它占据英国文学主流的时期吧？

became an object of major ideological significance within British culture.

我也不知道怎么确切的翻译比较好

主流又好像有点不对，“取得重要的一席之地”吧
