✍🏻哈佛文学教授海伦·文德勒 细致勾勒五位诗人的晚期风格

世界上有很多青年诗歌天才,但并非所有诗人在创作后期仍能有所转向,为了面对死之将至的叩问,诗人必须创造一种新的风格,而新风格的发明,亦需有慧眼辨识。正是海伦·文德勒,这位“力量型的诗歌读者”,敏锐抓住了五位美国现代诗人的晚期风格。

文德勒在本书中细读了史蒂文斯、普拉斯、洛威尔、毕肖普与梅里尔的最后一部诗集,呈现那些希望将生死等量齐观的诗歌的风格难题。经由文德勒细致而精辟的阐释,我们将看到这五位诗人如何投下人生最后一眼——史蒂文斯直面至暗;普拉斯在夸张与克制之间角力;洛威尔设计出减之意象;毕肖普审视“被捕”与“获释”两种对立状态;梅里尔以诗体描绘临终自画像。

文德勒教授晚年写下的这部力作,是其晚年才能抵达的深度,再度捍卫了文学批评的美...

Plath’s stylistic response to Percy Key’s death, as I have said, is to invent an impersonal style. What does a piece of that style “feel like”? Not only has it put aside those piercing “I’s” in favor of objective description, it has also put aside (for the most part) the excitable questions and exclamations that normally attend Plath’s anxiety-ridden “I.” With the courage of shutting up, the tongue of the poem has been quieted. The worst thing her early trauma did to the adult Plath was to deprive her of both past and future. She had no real past, in her view, because she had always (since coming to self-consciousness at the age of eight) been dead; and she had no real future because she foresaw only an unrelieved continuation of the “neon hell” of nightmare in which she perpetually lived. As an artist, Plath explicitly desired four things: honesty of perception, clarity of analysis, discipline of expression, and moral strength. How was Plath—without ruining her poems—to retain authentic features of her imagination, such as the symbols of melodrama and violence absorbed from her childhood literary matrix of legends, fairy tales, and catastrophic myths from Bluebeard to Dracula? Plath’s later interesting revisions of these theatrical dramatis personae created them as ambiguous characters, so that the melodrama is generated by a conflict in which no clear moral discrimination can be made between protagonist and antagonist. Plath herself could only rarely play the part of an innocent victim; she felt more honest, in her most conspicuously staged poems, when playing the man-eating Lady Lazarus pitting her obscene striptease against her voyeuristic audience, or the vampire-killing daughter vanquishing the vampire paren...
