论钱钟书《中国文学小史序论》中的文学史观

On the Ideas of the Literature History in the Preface of the Brief History of Chinese Literature by Qian Zhong-shu

钱钟书在其文学史观中 ,不仅考察了文学文本所呈现出来的社会历史性特征 ,而且从内在审美规范特征的维度透视了文体的分类与创新。同时 ,他还立足于文学的审美艺术性 ,主张尊重文学历史的现象与事实 ,认为文学史不应按朝代分期 ,“因世以求文” ,而当“以能文为本” ,并采取札记体的形式实现其对文学史的构想。

In his ideas of the literature history, Qian Zhong-shu not only investigated the historic features in the literature texts, and also analysed the classfication and innovation of the style from the angle of its inner aesthetic features. At the same time, still standing in the artistic quality of the literature, he thought the facts and phenomena of the literature history not divided into periods according to the dynasty should be respected, opposed to discuss literature from the view of history, and realized his conception of the literature history with the reading notes.
