《萧萧》、《丈夫》、《三三》、《贵生》的版本问题

沈从文的小说经历了几次改写,形成了不同的版本。通过比较流行范围最广的文集本与基本恢复了初版本原貌的全集本,可以发现文集本基于迎合主流意识形态和新的语言规范等方面的原因所做的修改,虽有积极的一面,但总的来说影响了小说内涵的丰富性、情节的完整性和人物的丰满性,从而在不同程度上改变了原有文本的本性。由此看来,研究中国现代文学,很重要的是必须确立善本观念。

The Editions of Shen Cong-wen's Xiao-xiao, Husband, San-san and Gui-sheng

Shen Cong-wen's novels have been revised for several times,which leads to different editions.By comparison between the selected edition and the collected edition(the former is the most popular and the latter basically renews the original appearance of the first edition),this paper points out that the selected edition revised so as to cater to the mainstream ideology and the new disciplines of literature,generally speaking,affects the richness in essence,the integrity of plots and the richness of the characters,thus changing the nature of the original text to different degrees,though it is positive to some degree.Therefore,it is important to establish the idea of good edition in Chinese modern literature study.
