被忽略的茨威格传记文学

The Neglected Biographical Literature of Stefan Zweig

茨威格被誉为20世纪最伟大的传记作家之一,中国最早提到茨威格其人和最先出版的茨威格作品,就是他的传记文学。但相对于对其小说创作的研究,我们却忽略了对其传记文学的研究。虽然近年对其单部传记作品有所研究,但却少于从总体上关注其传记文学。茨威格的传记文学,实现了对历史和历史人物的文学书写,其传记书写明显具有西方传记文学的现代性,这些对我国当代传记文学研究和创作具有明显启示意义。

Zweig is known as one of the greatest biographers in the twentieth century. At the very beginning, it is be- cause of his biographical literature that he was mentioned and his works were published in China. However, in com- parison with the researches on his novel writing, those of his biographical literature are obviously neglected. In re- cent years,some studies have been taken on his specific works,but they lack overall researches on his biographical literature. Based on our researches,we find that in his biographies Zweig has realized a literacy narrative of the his- tory and historical figures,which brings us a new understanding of the author himself and that his biographies dem- onstrate the modernity of Western biographies. His biographical literature is of obvious significance in enlightening the research and writing of our contemporary biographies.
