李健吾话剧研究述评

Review on LI Jian-wus Drama Research

在中国现代话剧史上 ,李健吾是一个特异的存在。比较李健吾话剧的艺术价值 ,李健吾对中国话剧的贡献及他在中国现代话剧史上的地位 ,李健吾话剧的研究现状严重滞后 ,研究者不多 ,研究成果太少还处在起步阶段。就已有的论文来看 ,赏析有余 ,理论深度不够 ,社会学的批评模式制约着李健吾的话剧研究向纵深开掘。其研究主要分为四个方面 :一是传纪性研究 ;二是悲喜剧之争和艺术特征之归纳 ;三是人性形态和深层意蕴之探讨 ;四是其他方面的研究。

LI Jian wu is a unique figure in the history of Chinas modern drama. Compared to the artistic value of his dramas, his contribution to Chinas drama and his outstanding position in the history of Chinas modern drama, the research on his dramas regretfully lags at the stage of only a starting period with few researchers and little products. From the papers already existed, it can be seen that more on the appreciations than profound theoretical studies. What has restrained the research on LI Jian wus drama from going deeper is the sociological criticizing mode. The already existing research is mainly on the four aspects as follows: 1. biographical research; 2. dispute on the features of tragedy and comedy of his drama and the summarizing of his artistic features; 3. discussion on the form of humanity and profound connotation; 4. others.
