沈从文早期文学创作经历了从《沉沦》式的“青年忧郁病时代”向构建想象的乡土世界的转变,这其中包含了徐志摩等文学前辈的期许和沈从文自身的修正。在沈从文早期作品的变化轨迹中,或可发现理解《边城》《长河》等代表性作品的新角度,并更准确地理解沈从文。 Shen Congwen’s early literary creation has undergone a transformation from a “sinking” era of “youth melancholia era” to the construction of an imagined homeland world. This includes Xu Zhimo’s expectation of literary predecessors and Shen Congwen’s own amendment. In the track of the changes of early Shen Congwen’s works, we can find a new perspective to understand the representative works such as “Border Town” and “Changhe River”, and understand Shen Congwen more accurately.
