摘要:

19世纪末澳大利亚民族主义思潮促进了澳大利亚民族文学的发展。佩特森与劳森作为世纪末丛林诗人,围绕澳大利亚丛林进行浪漫主义和现实主义两个维度的创作,表达他们关于澳大利亚文学的建构与想象。他们截然不同的丛林景观书写引发了澳大利亚文学史上著名的“丛林论争”。以这场丛林论争为抓手,可以深入探究世纪末澳大利亚民族主义语境下,佩特森与劳森丛林论争背后的民族(文学)指向。研究指出,佩特森与劳森的丛林论争不仅缔造了澳大利亚世纪末蔚为壮观的丛林文学景观,也标志着澳大利亚文学在摆脱英国殖民文学传统的跨越性一步,使得丛林文学成为凸显澳大利亚民族文学特色的独特文类。

Abstract:

The prevailing nationalist thoughts in the end of the 19th centuries is the driving force of Australian nationalist literature. As the jungle poets at that time, A. B. Paterson and Henry Lawson created poems around the Australian jungle respectively from romanticism and realism, expressing their construction and imagination of Australian literature. Their distinct jungle landscape writings gave rise to the famous “jungle debate” in the history of Australian literature. Taking this jungle debate as a starting point, one can deeply explore the national (literary) orientation behind the “jungle debate” of Paterson and Lawson in the context of Australian nationalism at the end of the 19th century. The “jungle debate” between Paterson and Lawson not only created a spectacular jungle literary landscape at the end of the 19th century in Australia, but also marked a leap for Australian literature in breaking away from the British colonial literary tradition, making jungle literature a unique genre highlighting the characteristics of Australian national literature.

Key words: romanticism, realism, A.B. Paterson, Henry Lawson, “Jungle Debate”
