《亘史》、《鸾啸小品》中的晚明常州府剧坛考述

A Textual Research of Genshi and Luanxiaoxiaopin on the Theatrical Circles of Changzhou Prefecture in Late Ming Dynasty

潘之恒在《亘史》和《鸾啸小品》中记录了晚明常州府剧坛的概况、演员、串客、歌姬和家班的情况以及常州府剧坛兴盛的影响。晚明常州府剧坛的高水准,不仅使常州府形成了具有特色的昆山腔曲派,而且为昆山腔在江南乃至全国的传播作出了不可磨灭的贡献。对潘之恒与常州府的关系以及晚明常州府剧坛进行考察,勾稽出晚明江南剧坛不为人所重视的一环,以引起学界对戏曲——特别是昆山腔——的传播及由此形成的地域戏曲文化的重视。
