新发现两种清代《还魂记》评点本

Recently Discovered Two Commentated Editions of The Returning Ghost from Qing Dynasty

清代《还魂记》评点本系列中有篇幅短小的评本,为明代鲜见。清初刻半园删订本《还魂记定本》中的评点文字主要为删改本做解释,重点评述的是原作的舞台价值。省悟子评本为手批本,题于清光绪十二年同文局石印本《江都省悟子批点还魂记》。评本关注男女两性间的情感世界和愁怨主题,并对可促进情节发展的宾白、唱词、关目做出了评点。作为普通评家,其多数评语态度中庸而不偏执。

Short commentated editions of The Returning Ghost （还魂记） are rarely seen in the Ming Dynasty but not uncommon in the Qing. Comments in the early Qing block-printed edition by Ban Yuan largely focus on the abridging and revision and stress the play＇ s stage value. Xingwuzi commentated edition is a manuscript written on lithographic printed edition published in 1886 by Tongwen Publishing House. Xingwuzi＇ s comments focus on emotions of lovers, the sorrowful theme and plot development; as a non-professional critic, Xingwuzi takes a moderate attitude.
