托尼·哈里森是英国当代大众诗歌的代表诗人之一。他的诗歌具有典型的双声性,充满了不同社会阶层对峙的声音,反映了不同阶级的意识形态与价值观念在语言层面上的对立和交锋。他的诗歌语言既有高雅文字也有粗俗的狂欢话语,反映了诗人对精英文化、教育、文学传统接受且又颠覆的矛盾态度以及诗人从平民子弟到精英诗人自我裂变的心路历程。 Tony Harrison is one of the representative poets of contemporary British popular poetry. His poetry has a typical duality, filled with voices of confrontation between different social classes, reflecting the language level confrontation and confrontation between different classes of ideology and values. His poetic language has both elegant and vulgar carnival discourses, reflecting the poet’s contradictory attitude towards the elite culture, education and literary traditions’ acceptance and subversion, as well as the mentality of the poet’s self-fission from ordinary children to elite poets.
