抗战初期,全国性文艺团体、机构陆续在武汉成立,武汉成为全国文学中心。誓死抗战的决心,对胜利充满希望的乐观自信构成了抗战初期武汉文学的主流,小说、戏剧、诗歌、通讯、报告文学、特写等纷纷涌现,武汉抗战文学呈现多样性与时代性的新面貌。抗战初期的武汉文学,反帝的主题汇聚到反对日本帝国主义侵略,反封建更多地是反对汉奸,反对卖国投降。抗战爆发后,战争缩短了作家与现实生活的距离,缩小了作家与人民大众的间隔,密切了文学与大众的关系,强化了文学教育民众发动民众的意识形态功能。抗战初期武汉文学产生于救亡图存成为时代最强音的严峻时刻,文学要使普通民众和军队的兵士能看懂,必须尽量通俗化和大化。武汉抗战文学,是抗日民族统一战线的全民族文学。 In the early days of the war of resistance against Japan, national literary and art organizations and institutions were gradually established in Wuhan, and Wuhan became the national center of literature. The determination to vow to fight the war and the optimistic and confident with hope for victory constitute the mainstream of the Wuhan literature in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. The emergence of fiction, drama, poetry, communication, reportages and special features emerged one after another. The war literature in Wuhan presented a new look of diversity and the times. In the early days of the war, the themes of Wuhan literature and anti-imperialism converged against the Japanese imperialist aggression. Anti-feudalism was more against the traitors and against the surrender of the traitorous countries. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the war shortened the distance between the writer and the real life, narrowed the gap between the writer and the general public, closely linked the relationship between literature and the public, and reinforced the ideological function of literary education for mobilizing the public. In the early days of the War of Resistance, Wuhan literature came into being at the critical moment of the strongest voice of the times. Literature should make the ordinary people and soldiers in the armed forces understand it. It must be popularized and enlarged as far as possible. Wuhan Anti-Japanese Literature is a national literature of the anti-Japanese national united front.
