权力的投影--20世纪社会历史批评中的英国文艺复兴戏剧

Shadow of Power:on English Renaissance Drama in 20^(th) Century Socio-historical Criticism

文艺复兴时期,英国戏剧艺术成就较高。在不同角度的阐释下,英国文艺复兴戏剧总以不同形象面世。20世纪,历史主义批评、新历史主义批评和文化唯物论等均强调“权力话语”对于文学解读的重要性,但其对权力的解读各有不同。历史主义批评中的权力处于隐身状态,而新历史主义批评和文化唯物论中的权力则成为显性词汇。文艺复兴时期英国戏剧作为社会历史产物在批评中或呈现出王权的镜像写实,或成为巩固王权统治的力量。

Drama is highly achieved in English Renaissance. As a piece of history, the images vary in different perspectives. Especially in 20 Century, as the important branches of Socio-historical Criticism, historical criticism, New Historicism and Cultural Materialism interpret literature in abstract background of "power discourse" which undergoes from invisibility to visibility. Under this interpretation, English Renaissance acts as the mirror of prosperous royalty or service King’s ideological role. Moreover, the "power discourse" tightly relates with the traits of drama and theatre at that time.
