爱默生对斯蒂文斯的诗学影响管窥

Emerson′s Influence upon Stevens in Poetics

通过解读爱默生的作品《美国学者》、《诗人》以及斯蒂文斯的书信等提炼出两者相契合的三个诗学观点:"诗学自立"、"平凡事物寓奇迹"和"诗人创造新象征"。以斯蒂文斯的《坛子轶事》和爱默生的《紫杜鹃》两首诗为主要实例,以《坛子轶事》与《希腊古瓮颂》,《紫杜鹃》与《水仙》两组诗对比研究为辅例,印证了斯蒂文斯传承和发扬爱默生的诗学理论,他是爱默生这颗"北极星"照耀下美国诗坛升起的一颗明星。

By analyzing Emerson＇s works, The American Scholar, The Poet and Stevens＇letters, three aspects of Emerson＇s poetics are concluded： ＂Self-reliance in poetics＂, ＂Singing for the miracles in America＂, and ＂Poets＇ creation of new symbols＂. Taking the comparative study of Anecdote of the Jar and The Rhodora as the major example and comparative study of Anecdote of the Jar and Ode on a Gre- cian Urn, The Rhodora and The Daffodils as the supportive examples, this thesis asserts that Wallace Stevens was influenced by the poetic tradition started by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Stevens carried on the tradition further.
