摘要
近百年来学界对狭邪小说的研究,本质上回应的是晚清通俗小说是否具备文学史“经典”价值的问题。出于文学功利性的要求和精英文化的主导,20世纪上半叶的文学史书写并未给予狭邪小说整体以正面评价,而《海上花列传》却凭借学界积淀已久的“雅俗”观念脱颖而出,开启经典化进程。新时期以后,在多重因素的合力下,研究者展开对狭邪小说文学史价值的重新审视和二次发掘,并由此拓展晚清通俗文学更为广阔的研究视野,从中既能看到近百年来狭邪小说研究的接受困境与价值转向,也可以进一步思考晚清通俗文学未得到充分研究的症结所在。
The study of courtesan novels over the last century was essentially a response to the question whether popular fiction in the late Qing dynasty had the value of literary “classics”. Subjected to literary utilitarianism and the dominance of elite culture, literary histories written in the first half of the twentieth century did not give positive evaluations to courtesan novels. However, The Sing-song Girls of Shanghai stood out and was canonized in the academic context of the long-standing concept of “elegance and vulgarity”. Since 1980s, researchers began to reexamine the value of courtesan novels in literary history and to broaden research horizons for late-Qing popular literature. The research not only exposes the acceptance dilemma of courtesan novels along with a value turn in the last century but also points to the investigation of the reasons why popular literature in the late Qing dynasty has not been sufficiently studied.
