古罗马诗歌与俄国文学中史诗体裁的演化

Roman Poetry and the Evolution of Epic in Russian Literature

作为后起的国别文学,俄国文学在力图超越西欧文学的过程中,将古典史诗视为重要资源,史诗化也成为了俄国文学的重要特征。在历史语境和文学内在逻辑的作用下,史诗化在不同时代有不同的体现,具体而言,就是18世纪的史诗、19世纪上半叶的历史叙事诗和19世纪中叶至20世纪中叶的史诗化小说。在俄国史诗体裁的演化过程中,古罗马诗人维吉尔、贺拉斯、奥维德等人发挥了重要作用。

As a late comer,Russian literature has exploited,in its bid to overtake national literatures of Western Europe,classical epics as vital resources,and elements of epic feature prominently in its works.This tendency,driven by both the historical contexts and internal logic of literature,has taken on different looks in different times,showing itself in epics of the 18 th century,historical narrative poems of the early 19 th century,and epic-novels between the middle 19 th and 20 th centuries.Throughout the evolution of these genres,Roman poets Virgil,Horace and Ovid have played key roles.
