民国教育视阈下的文学想象与文学书写——从叶圣陶的长篇小说《倪焕之》说起

Literary Imagination and writing from the Perspective of Education in the Republic of China——Ye Shengtao's Novel Ni Huanzhi as An Example

在中国现代文学关于民国教育的文学想象与文学书写中,叶圣陶的长篇小说《倪焕之》是无法绕开的一部重要作品。叶圣陶正是通过《倪焕之》对民国政治、民国教育以及在此历史大潮裹挟下的个人命运进行的文学想象与文学书写,展现了历史蜕变的艰难历程。在《倪焕之》这部小说中,叶圣陶在民国教育视阈下对女性困惑和代际冲突的文学想象与文学书写,不仅使其具有了超越时空的文学魅力,而且成为中国现代文学书写的一个基本范式。无意于成为作家的叶圣陶,却开了中国现代长篇小说的先河,成为中国文学史无法绕开的一个重要存在,其内在的缘由值得深入阐释。
