文学与历史的书写张力——评杨联芬的《中国现代小说导论》

The Tension in Writing Literature and History——Comment on Yang Lianfen's An Introduction to Modern Chinese Novels

文学史书写中"作家作品集"式体例正受到质疑。文本的审美价值与历史价值、作品与文学背景及历史背景的关系、文本间的渊源与影响,正在考验着文史家的史识功力。杨联芬以《中国现代小说导论》的书写实践,使我们看到了这种书写体例可能蕴涵的理论空间。

The stylistic rule of classifying according to ＂writers and collections＂ in writing literary history is facing some questions. The text＇s aesthetic value and historical value, the relationship between literature and literary background or historical background, the influence of texts, all of them are testing the scholars studying literature and history. The writing practice in Yang Lianfen＇s An Introduction to Modern Chinese Novels opens a window to academic space of this stylistic rule.
