西方文论与中国“新文学”的发展

在“五四”新文学运动的成功中,西方文论的引入最为功不可没。西方文论“现代性”观念的引入和大量西方作品、文学理论的译介给中国新文学运动注入了新鲜因子和新活力,使得它没有像以前的文学革新运动一样昙花一现般地迅速衰落下去。其次,就新文学后来的发展状况而言,西方文论不仅常常被人们借鉴,还以融合的姿态进入到了广大学者的思想和理论体系中,创造了中、西文论结合的全新局面。

Western Critical Theory and Chinese New Literature Development

The introduction of Western critical theory is vital for the success of May Fourth new literature movement, which was rejuvenated with the modernism proposed by Western literature theory and works. Therefore, the new literature movement did not fade away swiftly like previous literature movements. Ever since then, Western critical theory has not only been often referred to, but merged into the idea and theory of numerous scholars, creating a brand new situation of combing Chinese and Western critical theory together. In addition, facing the impact of Western critical theory, Chinese literature experts have established the literature theory system that fits into our nation by considering our own situation and learning from ancient and foreign literature theory.
