永远的布鲁斯——评兰斯顿·休斯的《萎靡的布鲁斯》

The Everlasting Blues——On "The Weary Blues" by Langston Hughes

兰斯顿·休斯是20世纪最优秀的黑人诗人之一。国内外大多数学者对他诗作的研究侧重于其代表作,即他中后期的作品,而对他的早期作品,即他的成名作《萎靡的布鲁斯》涉及不多。然而无论从诗歌的形式和内容上来说,《萎靡的布鲁斯》对休斯后来的创作无疑起到了路标般的作用。而这种路标式的作用也正是任何一个休斯的喜爱者和研究者不可以忽视的。

Langston Hughes is one of the most famous American black poets in the 20th century. Many foreign and domestic research papers focus on his poetry and other literary works writton in his later writing stage and his The Weary Blues, which occupies a very important position in his earlier literary career, is neglected. This works, no matter from its form or its content, laid a landmark in the authors writing career, which should not be neglected by the people who like it or study it.
