现实反思的历史诉求——论周梅森历史小说

Historical Appeal of Reflection on Reality——On Zhou Meisen's Historical Novels

周梅森的历史小说创作颇丰,且与传统历史小说有较大异处,曾在八十代初的文坛引起波澜。周梅森的历史小说代表了新时期历史小说转向的开始,他在历史中与现实对话,作品经历了由国民性反思到人性追问的变化,始终执着于打通一条历史与现实相接的通道,以文学的方式解决现实何以如此的问题,呈现另一种历史小说与现实的联结方式。

Zhou Meisen has created a great many historical novels, which are quite different from the traditional historical novels. Thus his novels have stirred up huge billows in the literary world in the early 1980s. Because he creates a conversation between reality and history, Zhou Meiseng historical novels stand for the beginning of the historical novels in the new era, with a shift from the introspection of national people to the exploration of human nature. He always tries to look for a connection between history and reality, and by means of literature he makes an attempt to answer why reality is in that way. So Zhou Meiseng historical novels have shown another way that connected reality and history.
