摘要
20世纪二三十年代,同样来自小镇的威拉·凯瑟和萧红在各自的文学道路上写下了辉煌的一页,但是由于她们采取了疏离主流的写作态度,在喧嚣的时代大潮中执意书写她们记忆中的宁静家园,遭来同时代评论家的不解和批判,并且相当长一段时间里导致了人们对她们作品的冷落.本文试图从作家个人经历和女性自我认同的角度,分析这种相似的写作态度及其引起的文坛起落的必然性,同时指出这种疏离的态度也正好成就了两位有着独特风格的伟大作家.
Willa Cather(1873—1947) and Xiao Hong(1911—1942),though living on opposite ends of earth,surprisingly have a lot in common.Both of them set most of their stories in a small lonely town,which is similar to the writers' real hometowns and where they first found their own identities in real life.They both took a ride on the main stream of the society for a time and reached their social pinnacles in that period,but for some reasons they eventually chose to stay out of the onrushing main stream for the rest of their lives and be subjective observers out there.This distance allowed them to observe their time in a unique way,meanwhile it brought them misunderstanding and harsh criticism.This article will analyze the inevitability of this situation from the angles of their own life experiences and the feminine identities.
