野性呼唤的历史先声——浅谈布莱克《老虎》的反传统意识

The Earlier Voice of Wild Nature——The Anti-convention Awareness in Blake's "The Tyger"

英国浪漫主义诗歌先驱威廉.布莱克视自然界中的野兽和人性中的野性为一种积极的力量,他在其著名诗作《老虎》中塑造的老虎是充满力量和野性且富于神秘象征色彩的浪漫主义艺术形象。《老虎》的开创性及布莱克的意义不仅在于呼唤野性本身,更在于在英国文学史上发出了呼唤野性题材和主题的历史先声,成为18世纪古典主义向浪漫主义过渡的界碑。

William Blake, the pioneer of English romanticism, believed that the wild nature of both animals and man is positive power. He created the romantic image of tiger full of power wildness and mystery. The point of ＂The Tyger＂, as well as the significance of Blake,lies not only in calling on the wildness, but because it is the earlier voice for calling the theme of wildness in English literature. It is the transitional milestone from 18th classicalism to romanticism.
