施勒格尔浪漫主义反讽理论的形成

On the Formation of Schlegel's Romantic Irony

德国早期浪漫主义文学理论家施勒格尔起初在断片中对反讽进行探讨,然后在哲学中为反讽找到依据——反思,最后在文学作品中找到各种实例依托,进而将浪漫主义反讽定义为"自我创造和自我毁灭的经常交替"。本文拟依循施勒格尔理论思想形成的轨迹,尝试论述"浪漫主义反讽"概念的美学内涵,从而展现德国浪漫主义反讽理论形成的曲折历程。

Schlegel, one of the founders of the early German Romantic Literature Movement, defined romantic irony as ＂fre- quent shift between self-creation and self-destruction＂ after various explorations. His theory of romantic irony is gradually formed through the initial exploration in the fragments, later confirmation in philosophy and the reflection and final verification in literature works. The break of literature illusion is the most commonly seen form and an obvious symbol of romantic irony. By using irony, literature could return to itself, critically think about itself and reflect its forming condition, including creation and reception. Then romantic irony becomes a powerful method to the symbol of transcendental literature and literature reflec- tion.
