英文摘要 | Ecocriticism, a critical tide rapidly spreading worldwide from North America since the last decade, brings a breath of fresh air to the otherwise rigid world of criticism. Ecocriticism's focus-the relation between humankind and the environment-causes literary critics to move beyond the socio-historical discourse of the text, extending the examination of structures of traditional literary classics and the strengths and weaknesses of current literary theory to the vantage point of earth's biosphere, thus regaining Nature's place long held in absentia in the literary and cultural subtext. In May, 2002, I met Lawrence Buell, Chair of Harvard University's Department of English, in Beijing. Professor Buell’s earlier specialization was in American Literary Transcendentalism; his deep and penetrating studies of Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, and other writers provided a solid foundation for his shift to ecocriticism in recent years. Buell currently stands as one of the representative figures in American ecocriticism at a time of a burgeoning Chinese eco-literature. To facilitate an exchange, Professor Wang Ning of Tsing Hua University made some arrangements. The following article synthesizes an interview-discussion conducted over electronic mail between Buell and me. |
