英国批评家弗兰克·克莫德有四本书专门论述经典,其中《愉悦与变迁》是其探讨西方文学经典的精髓所在。克莫德提出了评判经典的两个重要标准:经典作品必须包含一种哲学层面上的独特的庄严,并带给读者“愉悦”的感觉;在不同的时代,经典作品必须创造新意实现“变迁”。克莫德的经典观和美国批评家布鲁姆的西方正典理论异曲同工,成为西方文学经典观中和谐的二重奏。 There are four books by the British critic Frank Kermode, which deal specifically with classics, of which “pleasure and change” are the essence of the study of the Western literary classics. Kamer proposed two important criteria for judging classics: the classics must contain a philosophical level of solemnity that gives readers the feeling of “pleasure.” In different times, classics must create new ideas “change”. The classical conception of Kermode and the Western criticism of American critic Brooom are similar, becoming the duet of harmony in the classic viewpoints of Western literature.
