An exemplar of foreign literary classics studies with Chinese characteristics:A review of Milton’s trilogy studies in the mainland of China from 2013 to 2022

自1832年弥尔顿进入中国至2012年,中国内地研究弥尔顿三部曲的论文与著作数目逾百,而近十年来(2013—2022)相关研究发展更为迅速:一是研究内容得到纵深性开拓,特别在弥尔顿多重思想之主题探微、恶魔与英雄之人物探讨、多元文化影响之风格探索等三个维度;二是研究方法取得开拓式创新,尤其是跨学科交叉探究方法和跨文化研究路径。通过将弥尔顿研究作为外国文学经典之中国化研究范例展开分析和探讨,并指出当下研究存在的拓进空间,希望能为中国内地未来的弥尔顿三部曲研究指明方向,或能为中国的外国文学经典研究提供一定的方法论指引。
