上世纪初中美两位在各自国度被称为乡土作家的沈从文和威拉.凯瑟的作品都具有城市孤独情结,都表现了由城市化带来的不安,这也具有了可比性。通过分析可以发现沈从文的作品反映的是由于对城市的陌生而产生的不安,威拉.凯瑟的作品反映的是由于对城市化的了解而产生的不安。尽管如此,二者都表达了对逝去的纯朴生活的怀念,强调了城市化带来的孤独感。 The works of Shen Congwen and Huila Cather at the beginning of the last century, both in China and the United States being called “native writers” in their respective countries, have the loneliness of cities and they all show the unease caused by urbanization. This is also comparable. Through analysis, we can find that Shen Congwen’s works reflect the unease caused by unfamiliarity with the city. His works reflect the unease caused by the urbanization. Nonetheless, both expressed their memory of the simple life that passed away, emphasizing the sense of loneliness brought about by urbanization.
