文学史:现状、问题与思考

文学史在近代以来的大学文学教育中占有极其重要的地位。目前,文学史研究与文学教育发展的某种不平衡性,似乎还没有引起人们应有的关注。从20世纪初第一部文学史问世,到21世纪初琳琅满目的各类文学史的繁荣,中国文学史的研究与教学已走过了百年历程。其中所经历的曲折与所积累的经验与教训,正在成为一种历史的财富。在新的历史条件和新的学术背景下,无论是文学史的研究还是文学史研究与教学的关系,都还有不少问题值得人们认真思考与探索,比如文学史研究如何走近历史,灵性、悟性、文学性与文学史写作及教育的关系,文学史教学与文本阅读问题,文学作品的传播与文学史格局,等等,而所有的思考与探索,其最终目的只有一个,那就是让人们更接近文学的本质而不是相反。

Literary History: Present Situation, General Concern and Thoughts

Literary history is vital in college literature education.However,how to match the research of literary history with literature education does not seem to be cared about,though both of which have covered 100 years.Experience drawn from the re-search work and teaching has become a treasure.Against new historical and academic background,there are still general concerns worthy of exploration,e.g.,the approach to history,intelligenct,literariness and the writing of literary history,teaching and reading of texts,the circulations and patterns,etc.The aim results in a clearer understanding of the essence of literature.
