《多佛海滩》与《荒原》之美学体现:共同的道德关注

On the Aesthetic Reflection of “Dover Beach” and “The Waste Land”: the Same Moral Concern

《多佛海滩》和《荒原》分别是马修·阿诺德和T.S.艾略特的经典诗作,反映了两位诗人对于所处时代和社会的道德关注。维多利亚时代的阿诺德,敏锐地察觉到表面浮华背后英国社会的信仰危机。艾略特的《荒原》描述了一战后西方社会的空虚死寂,现代人的道德沦丧。两首诗作中不同的道德解救体现了他们不同的文学主张。这种崇高的道德关注,正是两首诗作美学精神的体现,也为诗歌赏析提供了人文解读的新视角。

'Dover Beach'and'The Waste Land'are classical poems of Mathew Arnold and T. S. Eliot respectively. Both poems reflect the poets' moral concern of the age and society they lived in. Mathew Arnold of the Victorian era subtly perceived the faith crisis under the surface of affluence. 'The waste Land'of T. S. Eliot portrayed the lifelessness of the post-war society,and the loss of morality among modern people. Different advocacy of moral rescue shows the divergence in their literary view. The sublime moral concern is the reflection of aesthetic value of both poems,and offers a new human perspective for poetry appreciation.
