浅析罗伯特·弗洛斯特诗歌中的理智与情感_英语论文

A Brief Study of the Sense and Sensibility in Robert Frost’s Poems

摘要

罗伯特·弗罗斯特, 四次普利策奖的获得者，他在20世纪的美国文坛上有着独特的地位。弗罗斯特的诗歌看似简单朴素，但其内容充满了丰富的隐意。作为一位独特的诗人，弗罗斯特继承了传统的诗歌风格，将新古典主义的诗歌形式与现代人情感元素相结合来表达新的诗歌内容。他理性地采用标志主义来书写并分析了自然景观和新英格兰人民的日常生活。他的创作手法幽默诙谐又颇有智慧。弗罗斯特坚持用格律来为他的发散性诗歌创作奠基。在学习他的诗歌时，我们可以感受到他诗歌中理性和情感的融合。先前的学者已经在弗洛斯特的诗歌上做了大量的研究，但对弗罗斯特诗歌中的理智和情感的融合研究较少。因此本文在借鉴先前学者研究的理论基础上，试着浅析罗伯特·弗洛斯特诗歌中的理智与情感，主要通过这三方面：首先，分析他诗歌中的传统诗歌形式和现代的诗歌主题；其次，研究弗罗斯特对标志主义的自主创新；最后，浅析罗伯特·弗罗斯特诗歌的理智与情感的融合。对于理智与情感的分析将有助于挖掘罗伯特·弗罗斯特诗歌的深层次意义。

Abstract

Robert Frost，the four-time winner of Pulitzer Prize, holds a unique position in 20th century American Literature, whose poems are simple but rich in connotations. As a unique modernist poet, Frost inherited traditional poetry style and expressed new content by combining Neo-classical orders with emotional elements in the theme of his poems. He rationally employed emblematic writing to analyze the natural scenery and the everyday life of New England people. His writing technique is humorous but intellectual. Frost persisted in using rhythm to lay a foundation for his poetic divergent creation. When studying his poems, we can feel the fusion of sense and sensibility implied in them. The previous scholars have done a lot of research on his poems, however, the meaningful fusion of intellect and emotion in Robert Frost's poems has been neglected. Therefore, the paper, based on the previous scholars’ studies, attempted to analyze the sense and sensibility of Robert Frost's poems from three perspectives: firstly, the traditional form and modern theme in his poems; secondly, emblemism innovated by Frost himself and lastly, the fusion of sense and sensibility. The analysis of the sense and sensibility will help to bring out the deep meaning of Robert Frost's poems.
