柏拉图主义对浪漫主义诗论的影响

Influence of Platonism on Romantic Theory

当谈到诗歌的来源和本质的时候,普遍认为浪漫主义批评家们通常把重点置于诗人本身,并有着多种不同的观点。事实上,浪漫主义诗人受到柏拉图主义关于模仿、灵感和想象方面理论的启发,进而形成了自己的宣言和理论。浪漫主义诗人立足的关键在于,他们把诗歌的重要意义看作是来自诗人的心灵、情感和想象,而不是以前的理论家所认为的仅仅是表现和模仿人类的生活以达到教化的目的。

Concerning the source and nature of poetry, Romantic critics always lay the focus on poets themselves and they accept diverse ideas from different sources. The influence that Platonism especially the theory of imitation, inspiration and imagination has exerted on romantic poets and their poetry is analyzed. Romantic poets stand at the crucial point by referring primarily to the minds,emotions and imagination of the poet, instead of just rendering and putting an imitation of human life into an order designed to instruct and give artistic pleasure to the reader.
