美与死亡的联姻——论济慈与伊丽莎白时代文人精神的亲缘关系

Beauty Playing with Death: on the Kinship of Keats with the Literati Spirit of the Elizabethan Age

根据济慈本人作品的取材,根据雪莱以及一些批评家对他的评说,人们普遍以为济慈的根在希腊,这是一种误解。实际上,济慈的创作以及他所受到的熏陶完全是伊丽莎白主义的。除了天生对大自然的敏感和与生俱来的灵性之外,他对美的追求,他对死亡的思考,都是在传承那个时代的趣味;他的创作无论是在形式上还是在本质上,都与那个时代的文人和气质存在着直接的渊源关系。

It is a misreading for people to believe that Keats'literary talent is rooted deeply in the soil of the ancient Greek culture according to the materials Keats applied in his writings and the comments by many critics. Both what bore on him and the ideas he committed to his poems, however, are absolutely Elizabethan. All he did in the search for beauty and the thinking of death are transmitting the taste of the Elizabethan Age except his inherent sensibility to nature and his gifted intelligence. His literary creation, no matter by nature or in form, has definitely a blooded kinship with the literati and currency of his time.
