摘要
《荒原》深受圣杯传奇故事的影响,圣杯传奇故事乃为一繁殖神话,主人公的身体状况对繁殖活动是否能演绎下去起着决定性的作用。圣杯传奇对《荒原》最显著的影响表现为该诗对鱼王的身体概念的借用,诗中的鱼王、先知、荒原人的身体都因各种原因而遭遇到了麻烦,无法进行象征新生的繁殖仪式,成为变形的鱼王。《荒原》的身体叙述不仅反映了新英格兰清教思想的原罪意识,也是艾略特夫妇身体状况、婚姻状况的投射,同时还是诗人的"非个人化"诗学主张的成功实践。
The Waste Land was greatly influenced by the legend of Holy Grail in which the protagonist＇ s body plays a determining part in the myth of life and fertility. The most obvious influence of the Holy Grail upon The Waste Land lies in its adoption of the body-troubled legendary king. The Fisher King, the prophets and all other characters in The Waste Land met various kinds of trouble, could not participate in vegetation ceremonies, and were thus disfigured into fisher kings. Such a narrative of the troubled body not only betrays Eliot＇ s New England Puritan background, the Eliots＇ health condition and matrimonial relations, but also serves as a successful case for Eliot＇ s theory of impersonality.
