摘要
自20世纪80年代古代小说理论研究兴起至今,"小说"概念如何界定一直是文言小说理论研究的难点问题。学界讨论聚焦在以何种标准辨析古今两种"小说"概念这一中心问题上,曾出现过四派观点。另有一类理论研究,暂时悬置中心问题,或直接对古代小说作品进行文体分类,或概括某时代的作品特征。然而,此类路径虽在白话小说研究中促成了小说史—作品评论—小说理论的三方通观视野,却在文言小说理论研究领域收效甚微。于是,欲走出文言小说理论研究的当前困境,必须回到中心问题。回顾和总结中外学者尝试解决该问题的路径和原则,或可为文言小说理论研究找到未来方向。
Theory study on ancient Chinese novels has been blooming since 1980s, but so far the definition of ancient Chinese novels still has been an academic difficulty. Discussions mainly focus on the definition of ancient and modern Chinese novels, and four kinds of opinions are developed. Another kind of discussion, which pays no attention to the definition problems, focuses on criticism on different types and genres of ancient Chinese novels. Those approaches have contributed to the theoretical view of vernacular novel study, but made no contribution to classical Chinese novel study. To get out of the current problems this paper makes a review of some approaches used by Chinese and foreign scholars to the definition problems, which suggests some trends of theory study on classical Chinese novels.
