论艾略特的“非个性化”诗歌理论

On T.S.Eliot's “Impersonal Theory”

“非个性化”是艾略特最有影响力的文学理论,它是针对浪漫主义的“个性说”、“天才说”而提出的,它主张诗歌不是诗人个性与个人情感的反映,而是个性与情感的脱离。“客观对应物”与“情感统一论”是诗歌非个性化的实现途径。艾略特本人的作品尤其是早期的诗歌最能反映他的理论主张。

Eliot's impersonal theory is put forward against romanticists' theory of personification and theory of talent. It has great influence upon the development of modem poetry. It says poetry is not an expression of a poet's personality or feelings, but an escape of them. 'Objective correlative' and 'unification of sensibility' are the two ways to have impersonal theory realized in poetry. Eliot's own poetry, especially his early ones, can best reflect his theory.
