摘要
艾略特的“传统与个人才能”和布鲁姆的《影响的焦虑》都论及传统与作家个体的关系,虽观点相悖,但均被理论界接受。本文试图分析两者的理论基础、对传统内涵和功能的认识,并就传统与个人关系进行再思考,探讨两种相悖的体系能够被理论界认同的原因。
Eliot＇ s ＂Tradition and Individual Talent＂ and Bloom＇s The Anxiety of Influence both discuss the relationship between tradition and the author, which are accepted by the literary theory circles, though their points are definitely opposite. This thesis attempts to analyze the theoretical basis, views of tradition and its function, rethinks the relationship between the tradition and the individual, and discusses the reasons why two total different theoretical systems could be accepted.
