诗意的追寻:沈从文湘西小说的诗性叙事

Poetic Pursuit:On Poetic Narration in Shen Congwen's Native Novels

沈从文湘西小说有两种诗性:抒情诗性和哲理诗性。沈从文早期和中期的小说创作以原生态和象征态叙事来构筑抒情诗性,浓郁的抒情性和理想化色彩是这种小说的突出特征;其后期的湘西小说则转向观念态叙事,深沉的思索和智性的灵光显示出批判的锋芒。如果说沈从文早中期的湘西小说呈现出唐诗的意境美,那么其后期的湘西小说则是一种宋诗般的理性美。

There are two poetic features in Shen Congwen's Xiangxi native novels:poetic lyric and poetic philosophy.In Shen Congwen's early and middle works,poetic lyric is achieved by primitive and symbolic narration;in his later works,poetic philosophy is achieved by conceptual narration,with deep meditation and intellectual wisdom on criticism.One might well say that there is supreme artistic beauty of the Tang poems in his early and middle works,and a supreme rational beauty of the Song poems in his later works.
