巴罗克文化与17世纪英国诗歌的文体生成

Baroque Culture and the Stylistic Formation of the 17th-Century English Poetry

17世纪英国诗歌在意象、比喻方式、句型结构等文体方面显示出了与16世纪英诗的显著差异,形成这种文体的文化根源则是16世纪末至17世纪席卷欧洲的巴罗克文化。巴罗克文化促使英国诗歌从客观摹仿向主观表述内视化转向,巴罗克文化表现出来的内心焦虑感和视觉呈现的恢宏性也规定了17世纪英国诗歌文体的张力性和夸饰性。这说明诗歌文体的生成不是孤立的文学内部发生学现象,而是特定时期多种文化因素共同作用的结果。

In terms of imagery,tropes,and syntax,the 17th-century English poetry demonstrates a striking stylistic difference from that of the 16th century,the cause of which lies in the baroque culture prevailing in Europe from the late 16th to the 17th century.The baroque culture precipitates the moving away of English poetry from the objective imitation into a subjective expression,meanwhile the baroque anxiety and visual magnificence prescribe the making of the stylistic tension and exaggeration in the 17th-century English poetry.The stylistic formation is not merely a matter of poetry itself,but also involves cultural aspects of a particular period.
