本文主要考察人们在英语书写中对《文心雕龙》作者的身份研究。英语学界的不少学者根据各自的学术旨趣不断地重建作者的身份,形成了古典主义的刘勰、现实主义的刘勰等众多身份。尽管这些研究难以完全还原刘勰作为作者的真实身份,但并非徒劳无功。他们从历史文献中不断析出真相,并在当代语境下重建刘勰的身份,也是为了使读者和作者更为靠近,从而更进一步了解其作品《文心雕龙》的思想内容。 This article mainly examines people’s identity in the writing of English in the “Wen Xin Diao Long”. Many scholars in the English academic circle constantly reconstruct the authors’ identities according to their respective academic interests and form many identities such as the classic Liu Xie and the realistic Liu Xie. Although these studies can not completely restore the true identity of Liu Xie as an author, it is not futile. From the historical documents, they constantly analyze the truth and reconstruct Liu Xie’s identity in the contemporary context, so as to bring the readers and authors closer together and get a better understanding of the ideological content of his work Wen Xin Diao Long.
