韦勒克和沃伦的《文学理论》将文学研究分为外部研究和内部研究。外部研究侧重文学与时代、历史、社会的关系,包括作家研究、文学社会学、文学心理学等文学和其他学科关系的研究。而在作家研究中,对作家的交游研究可对文学文本形成注解,有助于打开研究视野,从侧面了解作家的精神生活和心理状态,分析作家创作的动机。本文通过梳理作家梅娘与赵树理之间的交往经历,分析不同语境和政治背景下二人思想的差异,旨在提出这份友谊对梅娘极其创作的影响。 Wellek and Warren’s “Literary Theory” divided literary studies into external research and internal research. External research focuses on the relationship between literature and the times, history and society, including research on the relationship between literature and other disciplines such as writers’ studies, literary sociology and literary psychology. In the study of writers, the study of writers’ association and intercourse can annotate literary texts, which helps to open the research horizon, understand the writer’s spiritual life and psychological state from the side, and analyze the writer’s motivation. By combing the communication experience between the writer Mei Niang and Zhao Shuli, this article analyzes the differences between the two thoughts in different contexts and political contexts, and aims to propose the influence of this friendship on Mei Niang’s extremely creative work.
