作家要理论修养,需要理论思考,以求发现自己的短处,吸收别人的长处,丰富自己,提高自己,超越自己。弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫正是这样一位不断思考,不断实践、不断超越自己的作家。 弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫(1882—1941)是以其创作和评论闻名于世的。她的创作与乔伊斯、普鲁斯特齐名,其作品如《达罗威夫人》和《到灯塔去》是现代意识流创作的名篇;而她的《现代小说》与意识流的关系,有如安德烈·布勒东的《超现实主义宣言》之于超现实主义,或兰波的两封《示意的信》之于象征主义。她在倡导和推行意识流创作思潮中,是位举足轻重的人物。其实,不止一位评论家(如王佐良,瞿世镜等)已经指出,伍尔夫的价值并不在于其倡导和身体力行了意识流手法,意识流不过是其文学生涯的一个极重要的阶段而已。伍尔夫本质上是一个具有巨大创造力的不停步的探索者和思考者。她认为“文学是个整体,它需要变革和发展”。她总是在不断地思考各种文学现象。不仅思考上一辈作家的文学创作,也极其注重反思同时代作家以及自己的创作。她思考了文学的本质,文学的真实性,文学作品的阅读等诸多问题。 伍尔夫读了贝内特等人的小说后,感到传统的、自然主义的描写方法不能描写复杂的现代人,不能揭示真 In order to cultivate the theory, writers need to think theoretically in order to find their weaknesses, absorb the strengths of others, enrich themselves, improve themselves and surpass themselves. Virginia Woolf is such a writer who constantly ponders, keeps practicing, and constantly surpasses himself. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is famous for his creation and commentary. Her writing is famous for Joyce and Proust. Her works such as “Mrs Dalloway” and “To the Lighthouse” are famous articles in the stream of modern consciousness; and her relationship between “modern novel” and stream of consciousness , As in the case of André Breton’s surrealist declaration of surrealism, or of Rimbaud’s two “symbolic letters” of symbolism. She is a pivotal figure in advocating and promoting ideological flow creation. In fact, more than one critic (such as Wang Zuoliang, Qu Shijing, etc.) has pointed out that Woolf’s value is not in his advocacy and physical force in the stream of consciousness, but his stream of consciousness is nothing more than an extremely important stage in his literary career. Woolf is essentially a nonstop explorer and thinker with great creativity. She believes that “literature is a whole, it needs change and development.” She is constantly thinking about various literary phenomena. Not only contemplates the literary creation of the previous generation of writers, but also pays great attention to reflecting on contemporary writers and their own creations. She thought about the essence of literature, the authenticity of literature, the reading of literary works and many other issues. After reading Bennett’s novels and other novels, Woolf feels that the traditional and naturalistic methods of description can not describe complex modern people and can not reveal truth
