沈从文小说的接受史论

A Study of the Acceptance of Shen Cong-wen’s Novels

沈从文的小说与读者的期待视野都在不断地变化着,它们之间有融合有分裂,期待视野的分合与沈从文的整个创作命运紧密相连。沈从文以小说闻名于世,拥有众多读者和广泛影响,然而他常感到无人能够理解的孤独。他理想中和现实中的读者都渐渐从“多数”变为“少数”,这是一个相互疏远的过程。

The paper demonstrates that the novels by Shen Cong-wen have witnessed both convergence with and divergence from reader’s horizon of expectations. It argues that this variation is closely correlated with the fortune wheel of the Chinese writer’ literary production. Prestigious, influential and popular as he was, the writer often suffered from a sense of loneliness due to lack of understanding. His ideal and real readers grew gradually from “majority” into “minority” as a result of mutual estrangement.
