20世纪中国浪漫主义文学思潮概观(上)

Perspective on the 20th Century’s Chinese Romanticism

现代浪漫主义思潮是自由精神普遍深入到情感领域的产物。中国现代浪漫主义文学思潮萌芽于20世纪初,到"五四"达到高潮。由于社会革命的兴起,"五四"浪漫主义思潮发生分化。但中国现代浪漫主义文学思潮并没有消失,而是在低谷中探索,它大致沿着两条途径发展,一是由"五四"浪漫主义蜕化出30年代的田园牧歌型的浪漫主义,再到40年代浪漫主义,一度回归文坛中心,新时期则再次复兴,不久它就整体性地消失在80年代中期涌起的现代主义潮流中了;二是与政治结缘,由"革命浪漫主义"蜕变为"文革"时期的伪浪漫主义。在梳理中国20世纪浪漫主义文学思潮发展脉络的同时,注意揭示其规律性,并对它成败得失的经验和一些重要的理论问题进行了总结。

Modern Romantion is the product of liberal spirit expanding to the field of emotion. Chinese Romanticism sprouted in the early 20^(th) century and bloomed during the May 4th Movement. Mostly thanks to the rise of the social revolution, Chinese Romanticism began to divide and develop in two main directions: the pastoral Romanticism and the revolutionary Romanticism. The former became the main stream in 1940s, revived in the new period and vanished into the modemist tides in 1980s. And the latter degraded into pseudoromanticism during the Great Cultural Revolution This paper is an attempt to delineate the development of the Chinese Romanticism, make out some developing laws, and expand on the some important theoretic problems.
