《心愿之乡》是叶芝早期代表戏剧之一,以爱尔兰民间传说为题材,彰显出鲜明的民族特色。作者以戏剧为途径来提高民众民族意识,重建民族文化,在一定程度上酝酿了爱尔兰文艺复兴运动。从文化诗学的角度观照《心愿之乡》,可以更好地理解文学与社会在构成上的互渗和阐释上的互通。 “Hometown of Hope” is one of Yeats’s early representative plays, with Irish folklore as the theme, highlighting distinctive national characteristics. The author uses drama as a way to raise people’s national awareness and rebuild national culture, to a certain extent, brewing the Irish Renaissance movement. From the perspective of cultural poetics, we can better understand the intercommunication between the composition and the mutual infiltration and interpretation of literature and society in terms of the “hometown of wishes”.
