论茅盾“作家论”批评的特征

On the Characteristics of Mao Dun's“Writer Theory”Criticism

在茅盾早期的文学批评中,以现实主义为核心的“为人生”趋向是其文学观的主线,这个主线也贯穿于茅盾的“作家论”批评中。他的“作家论”批评受到其文学观的影响,随着文学观的变化,“作家论”批评呈现出注重时代精神、强调真实性、从阶级角度分析三个显著特征。这些特征反映了茅盾对时代主潮的把握、对创作倾向的引导以及向政治的靠拢。茅盾的“作家论”批评适应了当时时事政治环境的需要,虽然从客观上看这种功利性的批评难以兼顾作品艺术方面的特色,但在当时仍产生了重要影响,并为之后的文学研究和批评活动提供了借鉴。
