从《心之灵》探雪莱浪漫派柏拉图主义诗学观

Percy Bysshe Shelly’s Romantic-Platonic Poetics in Epipsychidion

英国革命浪漫主义诗人珀西•雪莱(Percy Bysshe Shelley,1792-1822),一生写了数量众多的抒情诗歌。本文所要探讨的抒情长诗《心之灵》(Epipsychidion),自1821年问世之际便在诗人的要求下被匿名发表,因其传达出微妙的对爱情的不贞和不确定性,被视为“雪莱诗歌中最难懂和最富有争议的”,为多数雪莱诗歌研究者所忽略。本文在结合历史、社会语境的具体分析后认为,《心之灵》作为一首典型的“追寻罗曼斯”,诗人在其间隐晦地将自己对永恒真理与“美”的理念的向往,内化成为一种对理想化爱情的歌颂与追求,并试图将浪漫派柏拉图主义诗学思想通过诗歌的隐蔽话语之形式传达出来,是雪莱的爱情观与诗学理想的完美融合,值得我们重新审视和细细品读。

Percy Bysshe Shelley was one of the more influential and radical English Romantic poets,and wrote great many lyric poems in his life.Epipsychidion is a major poetical work published in 1821 with a subtle feeling of faithlessness and uncertainty towards love.Anonymously at the very beginning of its publishing,the long poem was usually considered to be Shelly’s most obscure and controversial work.Through the analysis of Shelley’s quest-romance Epipsychidion in both the historical and social contexts,it can be disclosed that Shelly has internalized his poetic thoughts and understanding of eternal truth and beauty into his pursuit of the ideal love,which can also help him to present his Romantic-Platonic Poetics in a cryptic and abstract discourse mode.
