《批评的剖析》与文学的文化批评的建构

Anatomy of Criticism and Construction of Cultural Criticism in Literature

诺斯洛普·弗莱的著作《批评的剖析》被很多人推崇为原型批评的经典著作。然而这并非该书的全部价值所在。弗莱所要阐述的并非某一具体的批评流派,这正如他在书的标题中所反映出来的那样。实际上,弗莱是力图以原型批评为中心,建立起独立于其他学科之外、同时又能打破文学批评内部各流派之间围栅的一种综合性开放式的文化批评体系。在该书中,他虽未能完全实现这一意图,但他的这一宗旨和视角的巨大价值却是不可忽视的。

Anatomy of Criticism by Northrop Frye is regarded as the classics of archetypal criticism,which,however,does not exhausts its value,because Frye intends not a certain school of criticism.Actually,he attempts to,with the archetype criticism at the heart,establish an open but comprehensive cultural criticism,which is independent of other disciplines while transcending the differences among various schools.Although his effort may not be very successful,his purpose and perspective should not be neglected.
