“大系”里的“小文章”——读《1917-1927中国新文学大系导言集》

Small Articles in the Great Series of the New Literature——Reading notes of Preface of the Great Series of the New Literature 1917-1927

《1917-1927中国新文学大系导言集》为我们再现了五四新文化运动主帅和干将们的阵容。他们笔端流露的是对自己曾经开风气之先的那场奋斗的自信,也是站在20年后的立场斟酌取舍的叙说。蔡元培忽视了周作人,茅盾略过了胡适,胡适批评了陈独秀,郁达夫被"贬谪"……20年后的这次五四新文化干将们的集体回视,是一次此我与彼我的对话,叙说的姿态没有谁是谁非,其中有坚持自我,有彼此分裂。我们庆幸的唯是从他们叙说的姿态中窥见一斑历史的遗迹。
