《宋词三百首笺注》的得失及其补救

Gains and Losses and Remedy ofAnnotation of Three Hundred Ci Poems of Song Dynasty

《宋词三百首笺注》有五个特点:一是尺度很严;二是以“浑成”为旨归;三是所选词人多达82家,便于读者一窥宋词全貌;四是所选作品章法井然,便于初学;五是收录了不少史料、词人逸事珍闻和宋、元、明、清各代词话,便于读者了解词人生平、理解作品。其局限有四:一是过于推崇梦窗词,使得20世纪前40年的词坛几乎被梦窗词风所笼罩,造成不良影响;二是对苏、辛词缺乏认识,甚至连苏轼的《念奴娇·赤壁怀古》都不选;三是所附评论主要是传统词家的评论,很少采择现代词家的评论;四是注释比较简单。唐圭璋先生后来所作《唐宋词简释》对《宋词三百首笺注》作了若干补救:一是恢复了周邦彦的“词中老杜”地位;二是补选了苏轼的《念奴娇·赤壁怀古》,三是对词的章法结构作了细致的分析。
