Poetry, Ellipsis, and Katherine Mansfield＇s ＂Special Prose＂

In this essay, the author proposes to explore Mansfield＇s ＂special prose＂ by examining the two issues raised in her journal entries： First, the phrase ＂perhaps not in poetry. No, perhaps in Prose＂ in her journal entry of 22 January 1916 shows that Mansfield plans to experiment with a kind of poetic prose, or in her own words--＂special prose＂. The profound affinity between the ＂special prose＂ and the notion of elegy, ＂a mournful poem for the dead＂ （OED, ＂elegy＂, n. sense 1）, calls attention to her work＇s decisive but still insufficiently examined relationship to poetry and her preoccupation with mortality. Second, the words ＂scraps＂, ＂bits＂, and ＂nothing real finished＂ in her journal entry of 19 February 1918 indicate that the mortal fragility she writes about in her ＂special prose＂ is closely bound up with verbal fragility, as embodied, for example, in the form of an ellipsis mark that she uses extensively elsewhere in her short stories. Her connection to poetry and her use of ellipsis marks will be discussed by looking at the impact of John Keats＇s poems on her own work and ＂The Canary＂ （1922）, the last story she completed before her death.

As ＂the greatest poet in the 20th century＂, Yeats is always a hot topic among academic community. The question whether Yeats is the ＂last romantic＂ or the first Modernist remains controversial for a long time in academic field.

以文为诗,以诗为词,以古为律:清代诗话的破体观念论析

清代诗话是清代文体史料及文体批评的渊薮,其中破体观念在清诗话文体理论中又最为突出和独具特色。目前学界整理的煌煌16册174种清诗话中论及以文为诗、以诗为词、以古为律及其对立范畴以诗为文、以词为诗、以律为古等破体批评的诗话就多达63部,贯穿整个清代诗话史和诗学史。清代诗学史上具有重要学术地位的学者诸如王夫之、叶燮、王士祯、沈德潜、赵翼、翁方纲、潘德舆等,在对相关破体范畴进行文体批评时,往往褒贬倾向不一,或肯定,或否定,或辩证看待,引发了旷日持久的学术争鸣,并在演进递嬗中形成了系统的破体观念体系,堪称中国古代破体理论的集大成和总结者。这对于纵向观照和比较研究宋元明诗话破体观念具有重要的文体批评史学术价值和理论意义。

散文:在与诗的参证互释中推进自身的文类建设——以西方相关的理论文献考察为例
