沈从文小说的叙述者与叙述策略

Narrators and Strategies of Narration of Shen Cong-wen' Novels

沈从文小说中有公开的叙述者、缺席的叙述者和隐蔽的叙述者。作为一位自觉进行文体探索的艺术大师,沈从文在小说叙事方面的贡献,足以使他与世界一流的现代小说家相媲美。他不像西方现代小说家们那样高举着叛逆的大旗,也不像某些现代作家那样以一种极端前卫的姿态标新立异,而是将叛逆的渴望和创新的激情包裹在看似守旧、朴拙的文本中。他从不张扬自己,从不夸饰自己在艺术上的先锋立场,但历史会领悟他的苦心,后人会接受他的遗产。

There are＂overt narrator＂,＂absent narrator＂, and ＂covert narrator＂ in novels written by Shen Cong-wen. As an artist studying literary style consciously, Shen Cong - wen has made a great contribution in novel narrating, which makes him a rival to a world-class novelist. Neither does he hold aloft the banner of rebel as western modem novelists do, nor dose he do something unconventional or unorthodox as avant-garde modem writers do. His seemly Old-fashioned and rustic literary style includes the eagerness for rebel and the passion for innovation. Neither does he boost himself, nor his avant-garde position in arts. History will value his good intentions, and the future generation will embrace his heritage.
