魯迅「野草」論

Abstract

Yeh-ts'ao or "Wild Grass", the collection which contains twentythree poems in prose written in 1924 to 1926, occupies a special place in Lu Hsün's literary works. The basic motif of these prose poems is, according to the author, to express Lu Hsün's desolation and inner conflicts at one particular period of his edge. Lu Hsün, who made his literary debut with "A Madman's Diary" in 1918, continued to write many novels and prose, through which he rebelled against dark society. In 1922 to 1924, Lu Hsi.in was seized with an uncontrollable sense of desolation and conflicts of inner being. They were subsequently put into the form of prose in Yeh-ts'ao. The purpose of this study is to discover, through an analysis of the poetical images in Yeh-ts'ao, what Lu Hsün's desolation and inner conflicts of this period were, and how he broke free from them.
