西尔维娅·普拉斯的创作哲学

Sylvia Plath's Philosophy of Creation

西尔维娅·普拉斯素以"自白派"诗人闻名,但是她的其他的文学身份——小说家、日记作者亦不容忽视。在其短暂的一生中,普拉斯视写作为书写生命的方式、自我宣泄的出口、建立自我身份的途径与向父权社会挑战的武器。普拉斯的文学创作受到了诸多作家的影响,她在彷徨、迷茫、畏惧与探索中逐渐形成了独特的诗歌和小说创作哲学,这在其日记中有一定的体现。普拉斯将其独特的创作哲学身体力行,使创作趋于完美,创立了一个普拉斯传奇,丰富了女性的书写历史,证明了天才的天赋与性别无关。

Though Sylvia Plath is often known as a “confessional”poet, her other literary abilities as a novelist, short story writer and diarist cannot be overlooked. In her short life, Plath used writing as a method of depicting life, an outlet to express herself, a way to establish her own identity and a weapon to challenge patriarchal society. Plath’s writings were influenced by many writers, but in hesitation, confusion and fear as well as exploration, she gradually formed her own distinct philosophy in poetry, short story and novel creation, which has been recorded in detail in her journals. Based on an interpretation of The Journals of Sylvia Plath and her representative works, the essay studies her philosophy of composition.
