也谈“大师的批评”——论沈从文文学批评的局限

The Master's Criticism——The Shortcomings in SHEN Cong-wen's Literary Criticism

20世纪三四十年代的沈从文,是京派小说的“大师”级人物。沈从文在小说创作的同时也写下大量的批评文字。作为“大师的批评”,沈从文的批评文字的确有独到之处,但其局限是非常明显的:个人艺术趣味对其文学批评的制约;对左翼文学现象做简单化排斥、抵制所反映出的批评家学术立场的缺失;对理论的轻视与排斥所表现出的轻理智主义倾向。

In 30s and 40s, SHEN Cong-wen was the master of the novel of Beijing School. He wrote volumes of critical literature while creating. As “master＇s criticism”, Shen Congwen＇s critical literature really has its originality, but its limitations is also obviously： the restriction on literary criticism caused by personal artistic interest; the lack of critic＇s academic stand reflected in the simple ostracism and resistance to the phenomenon of left wing literature; the tendency to belittle the senses put up through the disdain and ostracism to theories.
