On the Unity of Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Christabel

摘要

柯勒律治是英国浪漫主义湖畔派诗人的代表，在文学界因其玄幻诗歌蜚声于世。他的两首魔幻诗《古舟子咏》和《克丽丝德蓓》-直在评论界备受关注。对这两首诗歌的研究也是层出不穷，百花齐放；然而，对于这两首诗的关系却鲜有研究。
　　 本文从这两首诗的多义性上引入张力研究，进而探讨这两首诗经久不衰的魅力之原因所在。张力是新批评派的主要术语，由艾伦·退特首次提出。他认为诗的意义在于其张力。随后张力论不断发展，在中国孙书文提出张力论的四大要求：多义性，情感的饱绽，对矛盾冲突的包孕，弯弓待发的运动感。孙又提出张力的达成便是读者的接受过程包括：惊讶-压抑，涵咏-释放。在柯勒律治的这两首诗中，张力的运用随处可见。
　　 这两首诗存在很多共同特点，而这又与柯勒律治自身联系紧密。这两首诗的结构上，存在双重世界。这与柯勒律治的生活经历有很大联系。有两股力量呈现在读者面前，一个是逃离一个融入。在诗歌的氛围上，有两个世界出现，一个是超自然的世界，一个是自然的世界。这种结构上及氛围上的两重性使得诗歌在意义上多义化，由此也加深了诗中的张力。这两首诗歌中还还存在着力量的争斗，意志的转换等等。而力量的争斗反映了张力的另一要求，即弯弓待发的运动感。
　　 从具体来看，这两首诗是研究了两个人物的命运，故事；而如果把人物抽象出来，这两首诗可以看作是柯勒律治对人整体的研究，有相互补充相互包容的关系。这两首诗描绘了人的一生，及同情，爱在人生的作用。所以这两首诗放在一起研究有重要的意义。
