《清晨印象》:王尔德诗歌中的城市书写

"Impression du Matin":Oscar Wilde Writing about the City

王尔德诗歌中的"城市"意象经历了由虚入实的转变过程。在《清晨印象》中,他运用诗歌语言描绘了一个日常生活中的城市图景,其诗歌中的城市书写受到了印象主义、拉斐尔前派以及惠斯勒的影响,展现出跨艺术媒介表达的特点,并在取材方面表现出现代性意识。其城市诗歌中"孤独的游荡者"的形象具有维多利亚社会和现代工业社会的过渡性特征,但还不具有理论性的突破,仍未脱离城市空间中的功能性角色。

The image of ＂ city＂ in Wilde＇s poetry has undergone the process of transformation from imaginary being to factu- al existence. In ＂ Impression du Matin＂ , he paints with poetic language a portrait of the city in everyday life. Wilde＇s city writing has been influenced by Impressionism, Pre-Raphaelites and Whistler. It demonstrates the characteristic of cross- media expression and displays the consciousness of modernity in its adoption of subject matters. The image of ＂solitary wan- derer＂ in this poem carries with it the transitional characteristics of both the Victorian society and the modern industrial socie- ty, but it still lacks a theoretical breakthrough and thus cannot escape from the functional role in an urban space.
