摘要
T·S·艾略特写过两篇评述弥尔顿的著名文章,但这两篇文章猛烈攻击弥尔顿的诗歌,直接导致20世纪30年代至60年代弥尔顿的经典地位遭到颠覆。尽管艾略特作为新批评派的鼻祖,他对弥尔顿的攻击实际上却具有强烈的主观目的性。文学经典无疑具有一定的本质内在特性,但更是政治意识形态和文化权力作用的历史产物。通过分析和回应艾略特对弥尔顿的批评,并再为弥尔顿辩护,可以管窥批评话语在文学经典建制中的主观性和历史性。
T. S. Eliot has famously written two articles in which he blasted away at John Milton as well as his works. Consequently,Milton′s classical status suffered from subversion for several decades from the 1930s to the 1960s. An originator of the New Criticism School as he is,Eliot himself is effectively subjective towards Milton and his poems. Literary canons undoubtedly have certain inherent characteristics,but still more they are over - deter-mined historically by ideology and cultural power. The case of Eliot′s criticism against Milton and the corresponding refutation allows us to look at the subjectivity as well as the historicalness that criticism presents in literary canoniza-tion.
