《十年来的新中国文学》与当代文学史的“集体编写”

“The New Chinese Literature in Ten Years” and the “Collective Compilation” of Contemporary Literary History

把《十年来的新中国文学》作为20世纪五六十年代的当代文学史个案进行考察,首先是基于对完整的当代文学史编纂史清理的考虑,但主要还是因为该史著的"集体写作"模式背后的历史语境、体现的文学史观念与立场、对作家作品的评价取向等对我们考察这一时期文学史编写具有参考价值。文学史编写不再是一种个人行为,这是五六十年代体制化时期的文化潮流。这种编写主体的转换,是文学史编纂史上的一个重要事件。对于年轻的"当代文学史",其意味更是非同寻常。考察《十年来的新中国文学》的写作,还有助于我们了解当代文学史编写与文学批评的复杂关系。
