1920年代以来美国南方涌现出文艺复兴的现象,它的出现,离不开社会变革的时代背景和第一次世界大战对南方一代青年的影响。但是,南方文艺复兴的根本动因还在于:南方社会中的现实主义批判思潮从十九世纪后半期的隐势,走向二十世纪初的显势,从而形成南方社会的内在自觉,促使南方青年知识分子重新看待南方和周遭的世界。 The emergence of the Renaissance in the South of the United States since the 1920s can not be separated from the changing context of social change and the impact of World War I on the youth of the South in the first place. However, the fundamental motive of the Southern Renaissance lies in the fact that the criticalist trend of realism in the southern society moved from the hidden trend of the latter half of the 19th century to the momentum of the early 20th century, thereby forming the inherent conscience of the southern society and promoting the knowledge of southern youth The elements revisit the world in the South and in the surrounding.
