20世纪四五十年代美国文学评论家特里林、蔡司等人经过对19世纪的美国罗曼司写作的整理和研究逐渐发展出了美国文学史上著名的罗曼司传统,形成了罗曼司理论派。但从20世纪70年代开始,罗曼司理论派对美国罗曼司传统脱离社会历史因素的讨论,受到了各路评论家的质疑和批判。在新历史主义的“回到历史”的启发下,新一代的美国罗曼司研究发现美国罗曼司不管是在描写主体上,还是在叙事策略上或者在主题表现上都体现出了时代的特征,是美国罗曼司作家在危机面前对现实做出的最有意义和最真实的反映。 In the 1940s and 1950s, American literary critic Trillin and Zeiss and others gradually developed the well-known Romans tradition in the history of American literature through the collation and study of 19th-century American romance writing, forming the Romance Division. However, from the 1970s onward, the discussion of Romain’s theory on the traditional departure from the social and historical factors of the Romance Division in the United States has been questioned and criticized by various critics. Inspired by the new historicism “Back to History ”, a new generation of American Romance studies have found that the Romance Division of the United States reflects both the narrative strategy and the narrative strategy Features, is the most meaningful and true reflection of the reality made by American Romantic directors before the crisis.
