There is substantialevidence that by 1926, withthe publication of The Weary Blues, Langston Hughes had broken with two well-established traditions in African American literature. 果断TS,全文都在说,以下是大并列。InThe Weary Blues, Hughes chose to modify the traditions that decreed that African American literaturemust promote racial acceptance and integration, and that, in order to doso, it must reflect an understanding and mastery of Western European literarytechniques and styles. Tradition1 ,以下是解释Necessarily excluded bythis decree, linguistically and thematically, was the vast amount of secular folk material in the oraltradition that had been created by Black people in the years of slavery andafter.以前的作品都遵照传统,以下是举例,可略读,提取关键名词It might be pointed outthat even强调the spirituals or “sorrowsongs”引号of the slaves—as distinctfrom their secular songs and stories—had been Europeanized to make them acceptable within these AfricanAmerican traditions after the Civil War. In 1862 northern White writers had commentedfavorably on the unique and provocative melodies of these “sorrow songs”when they first heard them sung by slaves in the Carolina sea islands.传统起源But转折by 1916, ten years beforethe publication of The Weary Blues, Hurry T. Burleigh,人名the Black baritone soloistat New York’s ultrafashionable Saint George’s Episcopal Church, had published Jubilee Songs of theUnited States, 大写with every spiritualarranged so that a concert singer could sing it “in the manner of an art song.”引号,注意下Clearly, the artisticwork of Black people could be used to promote racial acceptance and integration only强调on the condition thatit became Europeanized.CS,重申tradition 1 Even more than his rebellion against thisrestrictive tradition in African American art, Hughes’s expression of the vibrant folk culture of Blackpeople established his writing as a landmark in the history of African Americanliterature.Tradition2 Most of his folk poems havethe distinctive marks of thisfolk culture’s oral tradition: they contain many instances of naming andenumeration, considerable hyperbole and understatement, and a strong infusionof street-talk rhyming.句内并列,列举题,可略读Thereis a deceptive veil of artlessness in these poems.以下是解释Hughesprided himself on being an impromptu and impressionistic writer of poetry. His, he insisted, was not anartfully constructed poetry.Yet转折 an analysis of his dramatic monologues and otherpoems reveals that his poetrywas carefully and artfully crafted. In his folk poetry we find features common to all folkliterature, such as dramatic ellipsis, narrative compression, rhythmicrepetition, and monosyllabic emphasis.句内并列,列举题,可略读The peculiar mixture of irony and humor we find inhis writing is a distinguishingfeature强调of his folk poetry. Together, these aspects of Hughes’s writing helped tomodify the previous restrictions on the techniques and subject matter of Blackwriters and consequently to broaden the linguistic and thematic range ofAfrican American literature.CS,并说明作者态度
