夏志清耶鲁时期的英文论文
Abstract:
This lecture examines twenty-four newly uncovered English essays by C. T. Hsia during his Yale years. These works exemplify the rigorous training he received in English and American literature, marked by two salient features: the consistent close reading in the mode of New Criticism and a sustained intellectual and moral concerns. The essays also highlight two orientations of Hsia’s humanist convictions: a recurring engagement with the “Great Tradition” of Western classical literature and a persistent moral outlook. Hsia’s immersion in world literature at Yale not only shaped his literary vision and aesthetic principles but also exerted a lasting influence on his subsequent scholarship on Chinese literature, constituting a formative moment in the development of his humanist outlook.
本讲座将与分享新近发现的夏志清耶鲁时期的24篇英文论文。这些论文体现了他在英美文学方面所接受的严格训练，具有两个显著特点：一是持续进行新批评模式下的细读，二是对智识和道德问题的持续关注。这些论文还凸显了夏志清人文主义信念的两个取向：一是与西方古典文学的“伟大传统”的持续互动，二是持久的道德观。夏志清在耶鲁的世界文学浸润不仅塑造了他的文学视野和审美原则，而且对他后来的中国文学研究产生了持久影响，构成了他人文主义观形成的关键时刻。
