古典抒情主义的没落——再论苏曼殊与五四文学革命的关系

The Fall of Classical Lyricism:On the Relationship of Su Manshu and the May Fourth Literary Revolution

再版的《汉英文学因缘》体现了苏曼殊对简约雅丽、婉转抒情诗风的偏好,这和早期《新青年》的文学趣味有根本不同。《碎簪记》与宣称"自然主义取代浪漫主义"的文学革命几乎同时出现,一是因为在阐释过程中小说的主观抒情倾向被有意弱化,二是因为它反映社会现实的努力掩盖了颓废主义色彩,而被误判为写实小说。对以曼殊小说为中心的古典抒情主义的批判,使《新青年》逐渐明确以语言形式为评价文学的第一标准,在此基础上完成了对未来新小说审美特质的想象。

The second edition of Chinese and English Literature Karma reflects Su Manshus preference for simple,elegant and euphemistic poetic style,which is completelly different from the ideals of New Youths Literary Revolution.The Story of a Broken Claps appears at the beginning of May Fourth literary Revolution partly because its lyricism is weakened intentionally,and partly because the decadent thought is covered by social reality.The criticism of New Youth magazine against Su Manshus novels makes language gradually become the first criterion of literature criticism,and imagination of the modern vernacular novel is clearly based on this.
