“例外”的“浪漫”如何可能——论拜伦诗剧创作中的“历史想象力”

On Historical Imagination in Byron’s Verse Dramas

历史想象力是拜伦诗剧创作中的一种独特想象力。它表现在拜伦诗剧对历史题材的关注、对历史场景的描写、对历史人物的塑造以及贯穿其中的对作品所涉及主题的历史价值和意义的艺术揭示等方面。为此,拜伦个性鲜明地运用了“预言诗体”和相关联的“预言体调子”,还借助了当时科学技术元素的一臂之力。历史想象力更好地实现了诗人塑造人物、还原现场、表现主题的创作目的,极大呈现了他的气质修养,释放了他的审美趣味,并创造出引领时尚的独特诗情。

The historical imagination is an individual one in Byron’s verse dramas which had been revealed in many aspects such as paying attention to historical themes,describing historical scenes,shaping historical figures,and disclosing its value and significance artistically.For this,Byron applied many methods,including prophecy poetry,prophecy tone,scientific and technological elements.Historical imagination had realized Byron’s creation purposes,presented his qualities and accomplishment,relaxed his aesthetic taste,and created some special poetic sentiment which could guide social fashion.
