庞德《诗章》:现代西方文明的挽歌性史诗——兼论《诗章》的“反抗”与“破坏”主题

The Cantos of Ezra Pound: Elegiac Epic of Modern Western Civilization—— Together with the Theme on “Resistance” and “Destruction”

作为英美现代主义诗歌运动先锋人物的埃兹拉·庞德,耗时近半个世纪,致力于创作史诗般的长诗巨著《诗章》。《诗章》长期以来被视为英美现代主义的集大成者而备受关注,但鲜有人从史诗方面分析它。本文试图通过分析《诗章》中对西方现代哲学、政治、宗教等的批判,来揭示作品所包含的易被忽视的"反抗"与"破坏"主题,从而更清晰地理解《诗章》作为现代西方没落文明的一部挽歌性史诗的价值。

As a pioneer of British and American modernist movement in poetry , Ezra Pound spent nearly half a century on the epic Cantos. The Cantos has long been considered as the most important work by many researchers, but ironically, the Cantos is neglected as an epic because of its obscure language. This paper attempts to convey the theme of ＂resistance＂ and ＂destruction＂ by analyzing the criticism of modem Western philosophy, politics, religion, ere in Cantos which is easily overlooked so that the readers can understand the value of Cantos more clearly as the elegiac epic of the decline of modem Western civilization.
