开明版“沈从文著作集”考论

A Study on the Kaiming Edition of“Shen Congwen’s Collected Works”

20世纪40年代,沈从文编选了“沈从文著作集”交给开明书店出版,但出版计划遭遇较大变故,仅出版了部分图书。就版本来看,有前期桂林开明版和后期上海开明版;就所含书目来看,应否定“13种”之说;就人事关系来看,出版著作集得到了叶圣陶的大力支持;就缘起和结局来看,沈从文编选著作集是为了缓解经济压力与总结创作成绩,但最终被开明书店毁版,出版计划夭折,图书佚失严重;就价值意义来看,“沈从文著作集”具有版本价值和批评价值。

In the 1940s,Shen Congwen compiled the“Shen Congwen’s Collected Works”and submitted it to Kaiming Bookstore for publication.However,the publishing plan underwent significant changes,and only a portion of the works were published.In terms of versions,there are works from the early Guilin Kaiming edition and works from the later Shanghai Kaiming edition;in terms of the list of works,the belief of“13 versioins”should be discarded;in terms of personnel relations,the publication received strong support from Ye Shengtao;in terms of origin and outcome,Shen Congwen compiled the“Shen Congwen’s Collected Works”to alleviate economic pressure and summarize his literary achievements,but it was ultimately destroyed by the Kaiming Bookstore,with the publishing plan aborted and the works regrettably lost;in terms of value,“Shen Congwen’s Collected Works”has both version value and critical value.
