国内塞缪尔·约翰逊研究述评

A Review of Samuel Johnson Research in China

塞缪尔·约翰逊是18世纪英国著名的散文家和文学批评家。国内有关约翰逊及其作品的译介和研究最早始于19世纪70年代,此后100多年间,相关研究论文和作品译文层出不穷。本文系统梳理国内不同时期约翰逊作品的译介和研究状况,理清脉络,发现目前国内在约翰逊生平、《英语大词典》《诗人传》研究及散文译介等方面成果颇丰,但在研究范畴的完整性、系统性方面有待拓展,尤其是对作为文学批评家的约翰逊及其对后世文学批评理论的影响这一特定领域的研究尚不充分。本文在梳理并总结国内约翰逊研究及译介文献的基础上,采用考证和文献分析的方法,尝试呈现出国内约翰逊研究及译介的整体状况,以期为未来国内外相关研究提供参考。
