声律守旧程,思想运新意——论吴宓的诗歌批评

The Rhymes are Old,the Ideas are New——On Wu Mi's Criticism of Poetry

吴宓的诗歌批评形式多样,散见于其总论、序跋、书评、凡例、浅释、编者按等作品中,皆以文言书写,文体各异。在诗歌批评的标准上,他坚持艺术标准与道德标准并重;从其诗歌批评的性质来看,体现了传统与现代融通的精神;从其诗歌批评的方法来看,自觉地运用比较的方法,对中西诗学进行比较与汇通。吴宓的诗歌批评使传统的批评形式焕发出新的活力,又摆脱了诗话体、随笔体的旧形式,对新诗过于散文化的弊端有所纠正,且连通了后来的新诗格律论。
