知人论世具慧眼 清苍雅正为旨趣——论清代女诗人汪端及其《明三十家诗选》

Wang Duan and A Collection of Poems by Thirty Poets of the Ming Dynasty

《明三十家诗选》是清代女诗人汪端所选的明代诗歌总集,充分展现了选诗者的诗学观和审美取向。作为一名女性批评家,汪端的眼光见解毫不逊色于男子。这部诗选有知人论世之识。对于前辈的说法,汪端并非一律采纳,而是敢于提出自己的不同看法。汪端以其独到的批评眼光改变了男性世界对明代诗史的认识,在文学史上留下了女性的批评印迹。

A Collection of Poems by Thirty Poets of the Ming Dynasty is a full manifestation of Wang Duan′s understanding of poetics and her aesthetic taste. A woman poet of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Duan also distinguished herself as an insightful critic in the male-dominant literary world of her times. The collection is not a mere endeavor of following her predecessors, but a milestone of feminist literary criticism which alters the long-standing view of the history of the Ming Dynasty poetry.
