英国马克思主义批评家特里·伊格尔顿的文论著作深受欧陆及本国诸多批评家和理论家的影响,前人对此多有研讨。然而,史学家佩里·安德森对他的重要影响,至今尚未有人明确指出,遑论考察辨析。本文认为,安德森对于17世纪的英国革命以及近代英国资本主义独特性的论述,在一定程度上塑造了他的英国文学批评史观,为他考察文学研究与现实政治之间的内在关系提供了重要的社会和历史参考框架。伊格尔顿对近代英国文学批评中暗含的文化保守主义的发掘和剖析,主要得益于安德森对现代英国社会盛行的政治保守主义的精彩解释。本文还指出,二者的相关著述也有助于解释18和19世纪英国小说中一个常被忽略的现象:与同时代的欧陆长篇小说相比,英国小说一直在回护本国的贵族阶级,它们从未像欧陆主要国家的长篇小说那样,激烈批判乃至彻底否定本国贵族阶级的思想和统治。 British Marxist critic Terry Eagleton literary works by the European and many critics and theorists influence, many people have discussed. However, the important influence that historian Perry Anderson has had on him has not been clearly pointed out yet. This article argues that Anderson’s expositions on the 17th-century British revolution and the uniqueness of modern British capitalism have, to a certain extent, shaped his historical view of British literary criticism and provided him with an important insight into the intrinsic relations between literary studies and real politics Social and historical reference frame. Eagleton’s excavation and analysis of the cultural conservatism implied in modern British literary criticism is mainly due to Andersson’s wonderful explanation of the political conservatism prevailing in modern British society. The article also points out that the related writings also help to explain a phenomenon often overlooked in the British novels of the 18th and 19th centuries: Compared with the contemporary European novels, English novels have been backing their own aristocrats from Unlike the novels of the major European countries, they have not fiercely criticized or even completely denied the ideology and rule of their own aristocrats.
