作为一种方法的文学叙事——论莫洛亚传记作品中的批评意识

Literary Narrative As a Method——On the Consciousness of Criticism in André Maurois Biographical Works

文学传记是指以文学家为传主的传记类型,它既要真实叙述传主的一生,更离不开对其文学作品的分析和评价,在传主的作品及其心灵世界之间建立一种联系。作为著名传记作家的莫洛亚,在其文学传记中表现出一种明显的批评倾向:他认为一个作家不仅是普通的生活者,还是伟大的创作者,所以在为作家作传时不能忽视这种双重身份。此外,作家的生活经历不能完全代表其作品的思想内涵,但可以从作家的作品中观察其生活。一直以来,对莫洛亚传记作品的研究多集中于其叙事的真实性和文学性,而忽略了从文学批评的角度进行分析和探讨,深入地来看,莫洛亚传记作品中的批评实践不仅凸显了文学传记的艺术魅力,也为文学传记提供了新的研究视角。

Literary biography refers to the genre of biographies focus on the writers. It is inseparable from the analysis and evaluation of their literary works while truly narrating their lives and to establish a connection between the writer's work and his/her inner and spiritual world. As a famous biographer, AndréMaurois shows a clear tendency of criticism in his literary biographies. He believes that a writer is a great creator as well as an ordinary people. This dual identity cannot be ignored when writing biographies for writers. In addition, the writer's life experience cannot fully represent the ideological content of his works, but their lives can be observed from their works. The study of Maurois' biographies has been focused on the authenticity and literature of its narrative, but neglected the analysis and discussion from the perspective of literary criticism. In depth, the practice in Maurois' biographies not only highlights the artistic charm, but provides a new research angle for literary biographies.
