小孩是成人的父亲——论乔叟与布莱克的思想共性和迥异叙述

The Child Is Father Of The Man——On the Thematic Resonance and Narrative Differences Between Chaucer and Blake

理性与感性之争构成英国文学伟大传统的主题之一。中世纪向文艺复兴的转化意味着人学研究的开始,而新古典主义进入浪漫主义深化人对自我的认识。作为这两个时期的诗歌代表人物,乔叟和布莱克共同强调和重视情感体验,并且都以"小孩"之意象艺术地呈现了他们在人性问题上的思考。本文从构成诗歌的基本因素意象、结构和单词出发,结合文学话语产生的时代背景,解读两位诗人相同的主题内容以及各异的表现形式。

The conflict between sense and sensibility has long been the target of study in British literature.The emergence of Renaissance from The Middle Ages ushered in the concept of man,which has been rendered further investigation since the turning from Neoclassicism to Romanticism.As representatives of these two epoch-marking periods,Chaucer and Blake unanimously highlighted the value of feelings through the same image of ＂child＂.By decoding three basic elements of poetry,namely,image,structure and diction,this paper aims at finding the thematic resonance and narrative differences between these two poets in combination with respective historical situations in which they lived.
