国内学界一般都认为,克林思·布鲁克斯反对马克思主义文论。其实这是一种误读,布鲁克斯并非反对马克思主义文论,他只是反对将其机械化与庸俗化,反对简单的社会决定论,反对把文学单纯地当作社会资料的记录、社会真相的揭发、社会计划的蓝图、宣传党八股的工具,反对不关注文学性。他的诗学与马克思主义文论有诸多相契之处,如都反对滥情主义、唯心主义和资本主义,承认文学的内容与形式、功利与审美的辩证关系,在关于文学与历史、社会现实、作者、读者的关系上看法也有相同点。 Domestic scholars generally believe that, Corinthians Brooks oppose Marxist literary theory. In fact, this is a kind of misunderstanding. Brooks did not oppose Marxist literary theory. Instead, he opposed the mechanization and vulgarization of socialism, opposed simple social determinism, opposed the use of literature as a record of social information and the disclosure of social truths. A blueprint for social planning, a tool for propaganda of the party’s stereotypes, and a rejection of the lack of attention to literature. His poetics and Marxist literary theory have many similarities. For example, he rejects the theory of innocence, idealism and capitalism, acknowledges the dialectical relationship between the content and form of literature, utility and aesthetic. In literature and history, The reality, the author, the reader’s view of the relationship also have the same point.
