早期“新批评派”文学史观探讨

Study on Literary History of the New Criticism in Its Early Period

新批评派以摒弃对文学史的分析而著称,但是通过分析三位早期新批评派理论家——休姆、艾略特、瑞恰慈——的理论思想,可以看出这三位早期新批评派理论家并没有像后来新批评派那样摒弃对文学史的考察。他们的文学史观可以总结为"文学发展观"和"文学有机观",但是,可惜的是,后来的新批评派并没有继承这两种文学史观的观点。

The New Criticism was known for abandoning the analysis of the history of literature. But by analyzing the three early New Criticism theorists’( Hulme,Eliot and Richards) theoretical ideas,it will be obvious that three early critics of the New Criticism did not abandoned for investigating the history of literature as the later New Criticism did. Their points of literary history can be summed up as " literary evolvement" and " Literary organism". However,it was a pity that the later New Criticism did not inherit these two perspectives.
