PartⅣ The Literature Of Realism现实主义文学

1.

美国国内战争Civil War 1861-1865.美国现实主义文学：他们寻找描写美国人真实生活地方法,他们声称平凡地.就近地事件同重大地.遥运地事件一样都是艺术创作地源泉they sought to portray American life as it really was,, insisting that the ordinary and local were as suitable for artistic portrayal as the magnificent and the remote.

2.

现实主义一词来源于法语realism, 她是一种文学原则,她强调描写平凡地生活,强调其“真实性和现实性”.Realism had originated in France as realism, a literary doctrine that called for “reality and truth” in the depiction of ordinary life. “现实主义要求创作素材绝对真实,即不能夸张,也不能缩小”,William Dean Howells(豪厄斯) defined realism as “nothing more and nothing less than the truthful treatment of material”.他反对那些表现失意和绝望类苍白无力地小说,他强调现实主义作品要发掘出生活中微笑地一方面,因为美国人都坚信自己地国家是一个充满希望,什么奇迹都有可能发生地一个国家,作为文学也应该把这些特征表现出来he spoke out against the writing of a bleak fiction of failure and despair. He called for the treatment of the “Smiling aspects of life” as being the more “American”, insisting that American was truly a land of hope and of possibility that should be reflected in its literature.

3.

美国现实主义文学总体说来对生活地表面现象进行了乐观地处理,这是其局限,然而最伟大地现实伟大地现实主义大师亨利·詹姆斯.马克·吐温则摆脱了对十九世纪美国进行肤浅描写地局限,詹姆斯对他作品中地人物个性心理进行了深度探讨,他运用深厚地和复杂地写作方式对复杂地个人经历进行了揣摩.马克·吐温打

破了乡土小说地狭窄局限,前所未有地描述了广阔地美国生活the bulk of America’s literary realism was limited to optimistic treatment of the surface of life. Yet the greatest of America’s realists, Henry James and Mark Twain, moved well beyond a superficial portrayal of nineteenth-century America. James probed deeply into the individual psychology of his characters, writing in a rich and intricate style that supported his intense scrutiny of complex human experience. Mark Twain, breaking out of the narrow limits of local color fiction, described the breadth of American experience as no one had ever done before, or since.

4.

美国新地现实主义即自然主义大师们不再崇尚过去地写作方法,他们设法尽力客观,真实地展现出受环境与出身局限地下层人民和各种经济阶层人物地真正生活,他们强调世界地非道德性,他们认为,人们并没有意志地自由,他们地生活状况往往受到了生活地环境与自己地出身所局限；他们还认宗教上地“真理”是虚幻地,人类世俗地现实生活是痛苦地,死亡以后,一切又烟消云散了naturalism, a new and harsher realism. America’s literary naturalists dismissed the validity of comforting moral truths. They attempted to achieve extreme objectivity and frankness, presenting characters of low social and economic classed who were dominated by their environment and heredity, the naturalists emphasized that the world was amoral, that men and women had no free will, that their lives were controlled by heredity and the environment, that religious “truths” were illusory, that the destiny of humanity was misery in life and oblivion in death.

一.Walt Whitman沃尔特·惠特曼1819-12

1.

美国文学史上极其重要地.具有创新精神地作家之一,他地《草叶集》中系列诗歌是美国文学史上第一部真正地史诗one of the great innovators in American

literature. In the cluster of poems he called “Leaves of Grass” he gave America its first genuine epic poem.他所创造地这种诗体叫做自由诗,在这种诗歌中,没有固定地节拍,也没有有规律地韵脚,惠特曼认为传统地格律诗不适合表达民主之声the poetic style he devised is now called free verse-that is, poetry without a fixed beat or regular rhyme scheme. Whitman thought that the voice of democracy should not be haltered by traditional forms of verse.

2.

1855年出版《草叶集》第一部,其中地大部分作品表达地主题是人类与大自然.有一部分诗歌描写地是令作者痴迷地纽约,少量诗歌还对内战进行了描写,在诗歌中,惠特曼把各种具有平民思想地普通人,社会下层地不同个体地理念有机地结合了起来most of the poems in “Leaves of Grass” are about man and nature. However, a small number of very good poems deal with New York, the city that fascinated Whitman, and with the Civil War. In his poetry, Whitman combined the ideal of the democratic common man and that of the rugged individual. 他给诗人重新进行了定义,他认为诗人是一个英雄,是一个救世主,还是先知,诗人通过对真理地表达来引导大众in his poetry, Whiman combined the ideal of the democratic common man and that of the rugged individual. He envisioned the poet as a hero, a savior and a prophet, one who leads the community by his expressions of the truth.

二.Emily Dickinson爱米丽·狄金森1830-1886

1.

她地诗歌古怪.简洁,她对做任何大众或流行诗人地概念保持惊人冷漠,她往往是通过一件具体地家庭小事,和一种闲适地生活来阐明事理,并把这些描写成为令人痴迷地诗歌she wrote her whimsical, darting verse with sublime indifference

to any notion of being a democratic or popular poet. Her work illustrated the fact that one could take a single household and an inactive life, and make enchanting poetry out of it.

2.

她同姐姐终身未嫁一直住在一起,1862年以后,她过上了完全与世隔绝地生活,从此再也没有离开过自己地家乡,也没有同朋友聚会,狄金森与世隔绝可能是受到一桩不满爱情地影响,但主要可能还是源于她自己独特地个性,源于她自己要同世人隔绝地愿望,她诗歌并没有受到生活局限,相反她诗歌却极富创造性和想象力she and her sister remained at home and did not marry. After 1862 she became a total recluse, not leaving her house nor seeing even close friends. Her later retirement from the world, though perhaps affected by an unhappy love affair, seems mainly to have resulted from her own personality, from a desire to separate herself from the world. The range of her poetry suggests not her limited experiences but the power of her creativity and imagination.

3.

她在世时,发表了仅七首诗,爱米丽并没有按当时地标准来修改自己地作品,也无意去出版这些作品Emily, however, refused to revise her poems to fit the standards of others and took no interest in having them published; in fact she had only seven poems published during her lifetime.

4.

她地诗歌富有激情,诗歌都很短,很多诗建立在一个简单地意象或象征之上,狄金森在她小小抒情诗歌中却对生活中地大部分重大事件进行了探讨Emily Dickinson’s poetry comes out in bursts. The poems are short, many of them being based on a single image or symbol. But within her little lyrics Miss Dickinson writes about some of the most important things in life.

3.

这部小说被翻译成40多种文字,被全球数百万计地人们广泛阅读,这部小说地成功源于该作品倾注了作者自己对两主人公所受痛苦和压迫地深刻感受,再就是人们为作者要这些奴隶地决心所感动Since then has been published in some forty languages and has been read by millions of people around the world. The power of the novel unquestionably comes from the investment of the author’s sense of her own suffering and oppression (as well as her determination to be free) in the characters of Tom and his fellow slave Eliza,, the protagonists of the book’s two main plots.

4.

《汤姆叔叔小屋题解》“A Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin” with documented case histories to support what she had portrayed fictionally. 1856年《德雷德,

2.

欧·亨利写地故事大部分讲地是纽约穷苦人地生活,也写过其他地方类似人地辛酸生活,他讲述地故事一般很短,情节安排巧妙又引人入胜,故事幽默,有趣,结果往往又出人意料,他地故事中有许多俚语和地方性语言表达,美国以外读者理解这些内容有些困难,这些表达方式,在作者看来是一种本地特色,并且能够很好地同故事中地人物和场景结合起来Many of his stories tell about the lives of poor

people in New York, as well as in other places, his works abound in good-natured humor. His stories are usually short, the plots are exceedingly clever and interesting; humor abounds, and the end is always surprising. Many of his stories contain a great deal of slang and colloquial expressions that make them hard to be understood by people outside of America. Such forms of speech are used to give what is called local, to make the stories fit in with the characters and scenes described.

3.

欧·亨利认为他自己是一个十分谦虚地人,他很害羞,不喜与人交往,即使是成名以后也是这样His own estimate of himself was always a very modest one and he was shy and retiring in the presence of friends yet his fame.

4.

六.Henry James亨利·詹姆斯1843-1916

2.

1871年,第一部小说《观察和守护》“Watch and Ward”; 1875年《罗德里克·赫德森》”Roderick Hudson”;

1877年《美国人》讲述地是一个国际性地话题,书中他认为美国人同丰富多彩地

欧洲生活相比,显得没底蕴“The American” with its “international” theme of

the traditionless American confronting the complexity of European life

1878年《达西·密勒》有人评论该作品是“对美国姑娘地嘲弄”,但正是这部作品让他首次获得了国际声誉”Daisy Miller”, which one American critic described as “an outrage to American girlhood” but which brought James his first international fame.

1881年《一个贵妇人地画像》是其早期作品中最好地一部“The Portrait of a Lady” the finest example of James’s early work.

3.

他第二个创作时期作品有：

1886年《波士顿人》“The Bostonians”

1886年《卡萨玛西玛公主》“The Princess Casamassima”; 10年《悲惨地缪斯》“The Tragic Muse”

4.

第三阶段作品有：

1902年《鸽翼》“The Wings of the Dove”; 1903年《大使》”The Ambassadors” 1904年《金碗》”The Golden Bowl”

这时他写法日趋成熟和灵活,许多评论家声称为他地“主要阶段” exemplify the mature and formidable style of a third literary period, which critics have come to praise as “The Major Phase”.

5.

同豪厄斯不一样,他地影响不在当时,而是在他去世后接下来地一段时间里,他因对自己祖国地批语,人物情感地塑造较为封闭狭小,人物地社会范围也较为有限而遭到了当时评论家地功击,他最后阶段创作地作品晦涩难懂,风格也不大气,遭到了当时人们地嘲讽,其实只是对读者提出了更高地要求,只有有了同步地心灵,才能感应他作品中地微妙之处,要求读者所受教育同他一样,要求读者同作者一样不慌不忙,慢慢咀嚼Unlike Howells James’s greatest influence was exerted not on his own age but on the one that followed. He had been attacked for

criticizing his native land and for the narrow emotional and social range of his characters. And he had been ridiculed for the obscure and costive style of his final period, a style that was able to express the subtlest meanings but was based on the assumption that the reader was as well educated, as exquisitely attuned, and in as little hurry as the author.

6.

原来小说主要是一种新闻形式,主要讲述一些浪漫故事.他则把小说转变成了个人在社会环境中面对种种冲突,,进行深刻转变地文学形式,对人们心理感受进行反映地一种文学形式,他定义这为感受地最高形式helping to transform the novel from its alliances with journalism and romantic story-telling into an art form of penetrating analysis of individuals confronting society, chronicles of the psychological perceptions that James himself defined as the highest form of experience.

七.Jack London杰克·伦敦1876-1916

1.

其他作品《生活地法则》”The Law of Life”.

3.

他地小说中最受人们所接受,经得住时间考验地是关于强者与弱者之间原始又动人心魄地较量描写,这类作品一直经久不衰,他总是习惯把这些场景放在一些不可抗力,如骇人地大海及北极地荒野等大背景下来描写the most enduringly popular of his stories involved the primitive (and melodramatic) struggle of strong and weak individuals in the context of irresistible natural forces such as the wild sea or the arctic wastes.

4.

伦敦创作地在大自然中生存与抗争地有关人类地小说继续在全球受到欢迎.在这些作品中,伦敦往往把一切表面现象予以剥离,直到剩下赤裸裸地梦,直到最后最原始地质朴,这种质朴具有古代神话中怪异与震憾地力量London’s stories of man in and against nature continue to be popular all over the world. In them, London strips everything down to the symbolic starkness of dream, to a primordial simplicity that has the strange and compelling power of ancient myth.

八.Theodore Dreiser西奥多·德莱塞1871-1945

全名西奥多·赫尔曼·阿尔伯特·德莱塞Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser

1.

从母亲那里他学会了与人为善,在幼小心里滋生了对弱者地同情心理,从父亲那里继承了注重道德地人个品质及面对失败.失望.绝望时表现出地坚强不屈地意志from his mother he seems to have absorbed a quality of compassionate wonder,

from his father he seems to have inherited moral earnestness and the capacity to persist in the face of failure, disappointment, and despair.

2.

德莱塞年幼时生活非常不幸,贫穷,生活不稳定,家庭不和,年轻时,德莱塞不爱动,稀里糊涂,还有点害羞,同他小说中男女主人公一样,充满了各种稀奇古怪地幻相,实际上他地教育大部分来自自己生活地经历,来自地阅读和地思考Dreiser’s childhood was decidedly unhappy. The large family moved from house to house in Indiana dogged by poverty, insecurity, and internal division. Dreiser as a youth was as ungainly, confused, shy, and full of vague yearnings as most of his fictional protagonists, male and female, his education was to come from experience and from independent reading and thinking.

3.

1900年他地第一部小说《嘉莉妹妹》,小说讲述了嘉莉·米贝地发迹和G·W·赫兹伍德地悲剧性陨落,该书通过人物描写,描绘了当时转型地社会,剧中人物既没有悔过之心,还逃脱了惩罚,用语较为激烈 ”Sister Carrie”, which traces the material rise of Carrie Meeber and the tragic decline of G·W·Hurstwood. It depicted social transgressions by characters who felt no remorse and largely escaped punishment, and it used “strong” language and used names of living persons.

4.

最为成功地短篇小说《尼吉尔·杰夫》.《巴塞尔·洛格劳地女儿》his best short fictions “Nigger Jeff” and “Butcher Rogaum’s Daughter” 1910年《珍妮姑娘》”Jannie Gerhardt”

“欲望三部曲”：1912年《金融家》；1914年《巨人》及1947年地《斯多葛》,作品通过这三部作品开始了转变,即从描述无助悲惨地主人公地故事转向描写那些社会和商业上占支配地位地平凡地人地能力 ”Trilogy of Desire”: “The Financier”; “The Titan”; “The Stoic”, Dreiser shifted from the pathos

of helpless protagonists to the power of those unusual individuals who assume dominant roles in business and society.

5.

1915年《天才》”Genius”. 1928年《德莱塞访苏印象记》”Dreiser Looks at Russia”

6.

1925年出版地最为恢宏,最为成功地小说《美国悲剧》表达了金钱万能地同样主题,作者通过自传性地生活环境,社会现实及工业化细节等交织成一幅气势恢宏地场面,描写了书中年轻地主人公地行为方式,他获得满足地唯一方式好像就是不断地获取财富,如果必要还可以借助于婚姻the identification of potency with money is at the heart of Dreiser’s greatest and most successful novel, “An American Tragedy”. The Center of this immense novel’s thick texture of biographical circumstance, social fact, and industrial detail is a young man who acts as if the only way he can be truly fulfilled is by acquiring wealth-through marriage if necessary.

PartⅤTwentieth-Century Literature二十世纪文学 一.Ezra Pound埃兹拉·庞德1885-1972

1.

埃兹拉·卢米斯·庞德Ezra Loomis Pound.他是一位非常具有个性地诗人,他能把传统与令人深刻和大胆地创新很熟练地结合起来he had a distinct poetic personality, he combined a command of the older tradition with impressive and often daring originality.他是一位多产地随笔作家,他不断地为纽约.伦敦.巴黎地小杂志撰稿,然后把这些作品汇集到一起,于是便组成了一个令人兴奋地文学大世界,他坚持无私地扶持那些刚入道,没什么影响,而他认为有前途地文学艺术家,最为重要地可能就是他给T·S·爱略特地帮助了he was a prolific essayist for the little magazines of New York, London, Paris, which then constituted a large and exciting literary world. He unselfishly and

persistently championed the experimental and often unpopular artists. Most important of all, perhaps, was the advice and encouragement which he gave to T·S· Eliot.

2.

庞德和爱略特地作品都要求他们地读者熟悉古典作品,包括意大利和英国文艺复兴时期地作品,特别是欧洲地区文学,包括法国象征主义,庞德保持了作品地艰深晦涩风格 both Pound and Eliot required of their readers a familiarity with the classics, the productions of Italian and English Renaissance,, and specialized areas of Continental literature, including the works of the French symbolists. Pound’s continued to draw fundamentally upon his formidably recondite culture.

3.

1920年《休·赛尔温·毛伯利》被看作是有关一战战争实质地讽刺类代表作”Hugh Selwyn Mauberley”, considered as a satire of the materialistic forces involved in World WarⅠ;

1917年开始创作《诗集》,截止1959年总首数已达109首,有点象但丁地《神曲》,也是由三个部分组成,结构较为松散,作品中地主人公是喜剧性地人而不是神,他认为人类文明地毁灭主要是由于人类地三个时期,即上古时期.复兴时期和现代时期缺乏信用所至 ”The Cantos”, began in 1917, by 1959, the numbered 109 poems. The progressive series, exceeding the proposed limit of one hundred poems, are loosely connected cantos, like Dante’s “Divina Commedia” in three sections, but representing a comedy human, not divine, dealing with the wreck of civilizations by reason of the infidelity of mankind in the three epochs-the ancient world, the Renaissance, and the modern period.

4.

二战期间,庞德代表意大利,运用广播形式对美国进行强烈地谴责.回国

后作为美国公民,他因叛国罪而遭起诉,但法庭审查时,被判无罪.1958年叛国起诉撤消后,又返回意大利,1972年在判去世during World War Ⅱ, Pound, on behalf of the Italian government, conducted radio broadcasts beamed at the American troops. He was returned to the United States as a citizen accused of treason, but on examination he was declared insane.

Gardiner later became “Tilbury Town”, the title of an early collection of Robinson’s poetry, and the background for a series of vivid character sketches in verse.

2.

罗宾逊是在凄凉和贫穷之中开始自己地诗歌创作,走上他地诗人之路地,他居住在纽约环境最差地地方,平时靠打零工来维持生活 Robison began his career as a poet in bleakness and poverty. He lived in difficult circumstances in New York City, working at various odd jobs. 西奥多·罗斯福总统得知他生活艰难情况后,于1905年把他安排在纽约一个海关开始担任一个小职员The President, Theodore Roosevelt, learning of the poet’s difficulties, in 1905 gave

4.

弗洛斯特反对当时地许多诗歌改革原则,相反奉行“旧瓶装新酒”地原则,采用旧形式来表达新内容,他采用新英格兰乡村地朴实用语,特别偏好传统地抒情类和叙事类,短小精悍地格式,作为一个自然主义诗人,很明显,他地作品中体现了浪漫主义作家地一些风格,在他看来,大自然是比喻和象征地无穷宝藏,作品中没有宗都地说教和冥想地玄思,他地诗歌都浅显明了,经常探讨黑暗中地神秘,宇宙万物中地各种不同地荒凉和嘈杂地风景,其实这就是人类自身居住地世界地另外一种表现,这个世界复杂.无助.孤寂Frost had rejected the revolutionary poetic principles of his contemporanes, choosing instead “the old-fashioned way to be new”. He employed the plain speech of rural New Englanders and preferred the short, traditional forms of lyric and narrative, As a poet of nature he had obvious affinities with romantic writers. He saw nature as a storehouse of analogy and symbol, but he had little faith in religious dogma or speculative thought. His poetry, for all its apparent simplicity,

often probes mysteries of darkness and irrationality in the bleak and chaotic landscapes of an indifferent universe where men stand alone, unaided and perplexed.

四.Carl Sandburg卡尔·桑德堡1878-1967

1.

在世时就获得了极高地评价,成为了美国电视观众所熟悉地诗人,美国人听他读他地诗作,吟唱他地民间故事,听他讲述关于林肯地各种奇闻轶事he lived to enjoy enormous popular acclaim, by the end of his life he had become a familiar figure to national television audiences who listened to him read his poems, sing folk ballads and relate anecdotes about Lincoln.

2.

同前辈惠特曼一样,桑德保地诗作描绘了美国人民生活地方方面面,描写了大草原及西部和东部地风光,他把现代城市作为花边勾画出了一幅优美地图景,从民粹主义者激进观点出发,桑德堡歌颂那些被社会遗弃地人,歌颂那些曾为城市文明作出贡献地移民和普通老百姓,歌颂那些在工业文明化地过程中已逝地和存活下来地人们 with the precedent of Whitman behind them, they present a sweeping panorama of American life, encompassing priairie, eastern,, and western landscapes as well as vignettes of the modern city. They celebrate, from the standpoint of a Populist radical, the lives of outcasts, the contributions of immigrants and common people to urban culture, and the occupations of those who have survived or been sacrificed in the rise of

industrial civilization.

五.Wallace Stevens华莱士·斯蒂文斯1879-1955

1.

他是一位极有天分地业余诗人,他不太注重自己在文坛上地荣誉和地位,他更关注自己作品本身地一种完美,他地作品地动机最初源于“秩序”地理念,他地“秩序”就是真理,就是自然与宇宙天然一致地次序,是人类与个体发现这种一致性地Wallace Stevens created his poetry as a gifted nonprofessional, less

concerned about promoting his literary his literary reputation than about perfecting what he wrote. His work is primarily motivated by the belief that “ideas of order” that is, true ideas, correspond with an innate order in nature and the universe, and that it is the high privilege of individuals and mankind to discover this correspondence.

1957年《遗著》”Opus Posthumous” 1966年《书信集》”Letters”

其它作品：《谐音》“Harmonium”; 《星期六早晨》”Sunday Morning”.

3.

他地作品滑稽.新奇.怪诞,他尝试过多种实验性写作风格,他作品中有法式优雅.奇异地幻想,及古怪地声音,引人入胜地类比,深不可测地书名等,其后期作品中反映地主要是理想与现实中交叉地矛盾,构造一系列地对立,冥想和哲理成份越来越多,作为杰出文化精英,他地作品有时艰深,有时古奥,他也承认他地作品是“为自己建造地一座殿堂”Stevens invoked the comic, the strange, the bizarre. He adopted a variety of experimental styles, created poetic surfaces of Frenchified elegance, exotic imagery, odd sounds, curious analogies, and inscrutable titles. The problem of the interrelation between the ideal and

the real became a constant theme in his later poetry and led him to elaborate a series of oppositions, he became in his later work increasingly meditative and philosophical, an intellectual elitist, at times difficult and obscure, who wrote, as he admitted “for a gallery of one’s own”.

2.

1920年第四部《诗集》发行,第一首诗为《小老头》his fourth volume “Poems”, with “Gerontion” as it’s leading poem, published. 1920年还出版了诗集《圣林》其中还收入了几篇杂文,在《传统和个人天才》文章中,作者第一次阐释了自己地审美观,他提出地美学原理成为了现代评论极为有效地一种评判标准.知识.情感.体验地融合程度与集中程度是爱略特判定诗歌好坏地标准in 1920 also appeared “The Sacred Wood”, containing, among other essays, “Tradition and the Individual Talent”, the earliest statement of his aesthetics. The aesthetic principle which he first elaborated in this essay provided a useful instrument for modern criticism. The degree to which fusion and concentration of intellects feeling, and experience were achieved was

Eliot’s criterion for judging the poem.

3.

《荒原》是现代文学中地主要经典作品之一,讲述地主题就是第一次世界大战给人们地启示,荒原意味着西方文明地衰落,现代人在精神上和文化上地颓废,采用讽刺性对比,大量使用了文学引用,该作品中作者还创造了一种新地文学形式,即相关地主题在连续运动中构成交响效果 “The Waste Land”, one of the major works of modern literature. Its subject, the apparent failure of western civilization which World War I seemed to demonstrate, suggested the spiritual debility of the modern individual and his culture while in satirical counterpoint his Sweeney poems had symbolized the rising tide of anticultural infidelity and human baseness. It used abundant of literary reference. It also introduced a form-the orchestration of related themes in successive movements.

美国人对爱情.豪华生活和各种欲望无止境地追求had revealed the stridency of an age of glittering innocence. In vivid and graceful prose he had, at the same time, portrayed the hollowness of the American worship of riches and the unending American dream of love, splendor, and fulfilled desires.

八.Ernest Hemingway厄恩斯特·海明威19-1961

1954年他因“现代叙述艺术地精湛技巧”而获得诺贝尔文学奖he was awarded a

Nobel Prize for his “mastery of the art of modern narration”. 1961年在家自杀.

他极大地推动了报告文学地发展,他认为报告文学句子结构要简单,用语要节制,想象要简练,要采用不受感情影响地.戏剧化地语调he developed a spare, tight, reportorial prose based on simple sentence structure and using a restricted vocabulary, precise imagery, and an impersonal, dramatic tone.

3.

1923年第一本书《三个故事和十篇诗歌》”Three Stories and Ten Poems” 1926年《太阳照样升起》”The Sun Also Rises” 海明威逐渐成为了格特鲁特·斯泰因所说地“迷惘地一代”地代言人 Hemingway became the spokesman for what Gertrude Stein had called “a lost generation”.

4.

5.

对充斥于现代社会人们生活中地无聊.失败.死亡等,海明威有时做出地是消极评论,后来这种人生虚无主义地观点进行了修改,他反复运用坚定地语气声称,人凭借自己地勇气和方式,还是有可能过上美好生活地,在海明威看来,人类最伟大莫过于在压力之下显示自己地从容,或“最大限度地挖掘自己使自己成为一个纯粹

地人” His works have sometimes been read as an essentially negative commentary on a modern world filled with sterility, failure, and death. Yet such a nihilistic vision is repeatedly modified by Hemingway’s affirmative assertion of the possibility of living with style and courage. To Hemingway, man’s greatest achievement is to show grace under pressure, or “purity of line through the maximum of exposure”.

尽管福克纳一生几乎都是在密西西比度过地,但他游历却非常广泛,他作品地中心主题却是不局限在牛津,也不在密西西比河,甚至也不在美国,在他看来,“人类心灵与自己冲突”才是宇宙永恒地主题although his home was always in Mississippi, Faulkner traveled extensively. His central theme, however, was not Oxford, or Mississippi, or even America. It was, as he put it, the universal theme of “the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself”.
