【摘要】 在1946年的那场苏联文学论争中,一些所谓"堕落的"作家被作家协会开除,一些著名的文学刊物也被停刊。这场争论受到英国媒体的广泛报道,并在文学期刊上激起了热烈讨论。本文回顾了这场论争,特别关注了约翰·刘易斯、J.B.普里斯特利、西里尔·康诺利和雷蒙·威廉斯等英国学者的回应。20世纪中期的文化史通常是通过例如"30—40年代"、"战争—冷战"、"旧左派—新左派"这样的分期来进行布局与审视的,本文突破这些分析框架,并具体而详细地描述40年代的政治和文化是如何重新结盟的。更多还原

【Abstract】 In the course of the so-called Soviet Literary Controversy of 1946, "decadent" writers were expelled from the Writers’ Union and cosmopolitan literary journals were closed down. The Controversy was widely reported in the British media and provoked extensive debate across literary periodicals. This article revisits this moment, paying particular attention to responses from John Lewis, J. B. Priestley, Cyril Connolly and the young Raymond Williams. Recovering the Controversy yields a new level of detail about the politico-cultural realignments of the mid 1940 s by challenging the sometimes hindering period frames—the thirties, the forties, the war, the Cold War, the Old Left, the New Left—through which mid-century cultural history is most usually mapped and viewed.更多还原
