徐迟与现代派

徐迟早期的现代诗作和诗论不容忽视。到了新时期，他在《外国文学研究》上大声呼唤现代派的出现与中国文学的现代化，其代表作《现代化与现代派》，涉及到中国文学的发展该不该容纳现代主义以及可不可能产生现代派等一系列重要的前沿理论问题。由于观点尖锐，为主流话语所不容，在清除精神污染运动中成为重点抨击的对象。

Xu Chi and Modernism

Xu Chi was closely related to modernism all his life. Although after 1949 he published a collection of his poetry War, Peace and progress, these poems proved less popular and artistically less mature than the poems he composed at his youth. The poet, known as ＂politically progressive but artistically retrogressive,＂ had a sudden change of his view of art since the end of the 1970s. In the journal of Foreign Literature Studies, Xu Chi wrote to call for the coming of modernism and modernization of Chinese literature. His masterpiece, Modernization and Modernism, deals with a series of forward theoretical issues concerning the tolerance and the possibility of modernism in China. He was thus not accepted by the mainstream discourse for his sharp ideas and was severely attacked during the movement of purging spiritual pollu- tion. Later, he had to commit suicide to leave this world, where he had been so long spiritually repressed and suffocated by an innate desperate gloominess.
