沈从文、萧红乡土“抒情”小说创作比较

Comparison of Shen Congwen's and Xiao Hong's Local-colored Lyric Novels Writing

沈从文和萧红的抒情小说创作在现代文学史上独立新帜,又有各自的特点。作为抒情小说,他们的作品都具有浓郁的抒情性,淡化冲突和情节,并且放慢了叙事节奏。但在沈从文的笔下,我们更多的看到的是人性美好的一面,而萧红笔下的世界则让人触目惊心,这点也表现在了人物形象的塑造上。在作品中流露的情感,沈从文的显得平和、从容、含蓄,而萧红作品中的情感则激烈、外露一些,他们对笔下世界的不同情感关照同时也表现在景物的描写上。虽然有这许多不同,但两人的作品都贯穿着现代乡村的"常"与"变"。

Both Shen Congwen and Xiaohong explored a new successful way for the writing of local-colored lyric novels in modem literature history though each had his own specialities. Being lyric novels, their works compose of the lyricism where the conflicts and plots are weakened and narrative rhythms are slowed down. However, we can see more virtues of human nature in Shen＇s works while more startling a world in Xiao＇s, which can been traced in the molding of personage＇s image. As to the feelings expressed in the novels, Shen＇s seem placid, easy and reserved while Xiao＇s are keen and a bit more demonstrative. Both Shen and Xiao showed emotional cares for the world in their works through the description of scenery. Although they＇ve got great differences, their works were affected a lot by ＂regular＂ and ＂change＂ in the modem countryside.
