《铁木前传》：大变动时代的心灵史诗

A Story of a Blacksmith and a Carpenter:A Soul Epic in the Great Changes Era

孙犁的抗战小说在"纪事"中隐含着史诗追求,以伦理观念变化为观察时代风云的基本视角,同时继承五四新文学传统,将启蒙意识融于作品。《铁木前传》延续了这种写作风格。它以伦理观念变化给农民带来的心灵悸动为横线,以乡村婚姻现状和女性意识觉醒后的挣扎为纵线,开启了以土改为背景的另一种小说的史诗书写,完全区别于当时土改小说的宏大叙事,也成就了这部小说的独特文体。它接续了"五四"以来抒情小说的余脉,在"人民文学"时代将抒情小说与性格小说、写意小说结合在一起,为"人民文学"时代的小说增添了新的质素。
