必然性与必然性觉醒——从《序曲》看华兹华斯的思想历程

Necessity and Disillusion of It:A Reflection of Wordsworth's Change of Thoughts in The Prelude.

国内学者提到华兹华斯时,总是把他与英国浪漫主义先驱诗人联系起来,但往往会忽视促使华兹华斯成为浪漫主义先驱诗人背后的重要因素,即他是如何从一个必然性论的信仰者转变成为一个必然性论的背叛者的。法国革命的基本理念使华兹华斯成为必然性论者,但法国革命当中的一些非理性的、充满暴力的骚乱现象又使华兹华斯最终放弃了必然性的信念,从而真正走进了与世无争的大自然。华兹华斯的这段思想历程在《序曲》里得以充分展现。

Talking about Wordsworth, scholars at home would rather connect him with the forerunner of British romantic poetry. And yet, they may have often ignored some hidden important driving forces that rendered him a romantic poet, that is, how he come to be a traitor against Necessity he believed earnestly. The present paper holds the point of view that it was the essential ideas of French revolution that made him a necessity believer, and nevertheless, some non--rationally horrible violence later forced him to give up Necessity before his entering the real peaceful nature. The changing traces of his thought are clearly revealed in his famous poem The Prelude .
