稀见民国时期传奇杂剧8种考述

Research on Eight Sorts of Legendary Drama Produced in the Republic of China

在北京、上海、南京、广州等地的图书馆馆藏报刊文献中,发现民国传奇杂剧剧本8种。作为近代文学的重要组成部分,8种极为稀见的民国时期传奇杂剧作品,在某种程度上体现着民国时期传奇杂剧作为案头文本的某些新变:它们以报纸期刊作为戏曲传播之重要载体;除《蘼芜怨杂剧》《六朝梦》《故乡梦传奇》外,基本不遵循传统传奇杂剧创作范式,显得较为自由;内容与当时政治现实、社会问题结合得较为密切;虽然艺术成就并不高,但具有重要的文学文献价值及戏曲史意义。

Eight sorts of legendary drama produced in the Republic of China were discovered among the collection of literary works in libraries of Beijing,Nanjing,Shanghai,and Guangzhou. As an important component of Chinese drama,they represent the changes in creation. They were spread mainly through newspapers and magazines. Most of them enjoyed free style of writing without following tradition and revealed the political reality and social problems at the time. Despite of limited artistic achievements,this drama can be viewed as an important literature and has great significance in the history of drama.
