沈从文与劳伦斯对现代文明的态度之比较研究

A Comparative Study between Shen Congwen And Lawrence in View of Human Civilization

沈从文与劳伦斯在各自的作品中表现了对人类文明进程关注的文化心态。劳伦斯立足英国工业社会的文化背景,表现工业文明对人及其两性关系的异化,探索西方文明社会的出路。沈从文则主要是在半封建的或前工业文明时代的中国乡村和都市的背景中,在历史与现实的交织中,表达着对都市文明或直接、或间接的批判态度,试图用乡民身上充溢的生命力为老迈龙钟的民族注入活力,实现民族再造。

In their respective works,both Shen Congwen and Lawrence reveal their concern over the progress of human civilization.Lawrence explores a way out for the society of Western civilization by describing the alienation of relationship by industrial civilization in the cultural backgroud of English industrial society.Shen Congwen,however, directly or indirectly expresses critical attitude to urban civilization in the cobweb of history and reality and in semifeudal and preindustral times,aiming to inject vitality into the old and senile nation with the overflowing vigor of the country people to realize rebirth of the nation.
