锡德尼的诗学思想

The poetic thoughts of Sir Philip Sidney

通过对锡德尼诗学思想的研究,意在揭示美学和文艺理论研究的自觉性:只有对艺术的价值和意义做出明确的论证,相关的问题才能展开,诗学首先是诗辩。由于时代的限制,锡德尼的诗学思想主要侧重文艺美学,缺乏深刻的哲学思考,但是他提出的新内容和代表的新方向,从很大程度上将诗学与神学剥离,使其摆脱控制,自由于基督教神学之外。

Sir Philip Sidney is the first English poet-critic. Although his literary works exhibit a trace of his poetic thoughts about the crafts and functions of poetry, his importance to the history of literary the- ory rests on a single work, De fence of Poesie. To defend poetry and protect the poets, Sidney refutes the attacks imposed on poetry. The paper lays emphasis on three parts., theoretical source of Sidney＇s poetic thoughts, Sidney＇s understanding of the function of the poet and function of poetry.
