在美国文学史上,斯蒂芬·克莱恩(1871—1990)也许算不上一位十分重要的作家,以至在许多汉语版的文学史纲中很难找到他的名字。原因可能是他仅仅活到29岁,他的主要作品有《街头女郎玛吾》、《红色英勇勋章》和一部短篇小说集《海上扁舟》。然面,在许多方面,斯蒂芬·克莱恩都开创了美国文学创作的先河。他朴实简洁的写作技巧被后来的许多作家效仿;他是美国第一位以士兵的观点自然地描述战地生活的作家;他也是美国文学史上第一位真实地描写贫民区生活、妓女、酒鬼等令人不快的社会阴暗面的现实主义和自然主义作家。斯蒂芬·克莱恩虽一生短暂,但他以敏锐的观察力和独特的写作风格成为后来作家的榜样。
In the history of American literature, Stephen Klein (1871-1990) may not be regarded as a very important writer, even in many Chinese versions of the history of literature is difficult to find his name. The reason may be that he only lived to 29 years old, his main works are “street girl Margul”, “Red Heroes of the Medal” and a collection of short stories “sea boat.” However, in many ways, Stephen Klein has pioneered the creation of American literature. His simple and concise writing skills were followed by many later writers; he was the first writer in the United States to describe the life of the field in a natural way from the soldier’s point of view; and he was also the first person in the history of American literature to truly describe slum life, prostitutes, drinkers, etc. Unpleasant social realism and naturalist writers. Although Stephen Klein short lived, but with keen observation and unique style of writing to become a role model for later writers.
