The poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar (1872-1906) was the premier Black writer of poetry that used the dialect of rural African American of the southern United States. Although Dunbar’s works were both popular with readers and acclaimed by literary critics during his lifetime, after the First World War a radical shift occurred, at least in critical opinion of his poetry, and twentieth-century critical evaluation of his work has been generally negative. Some critics attacked his work on social grounds for failing to challenge plantation stereotypes of African Americans. Other critics, such as the post James Weldon Johnson, argued from aesthetic grounds that dialect poetry in general was too limited as an artistic medium, and capable of producing only two effects: pathos and humor. The negative critical trend only began to reverse itself in the 1970s, when scholars began to emphasize the importance of mythic, psychological, and historical dimensions of Dunbar’s works, focusing on the interior and exterior realities of African American life after the Civil War. [br] Which of the following can be inferred from the passage concerning literary critics’ evaluations of Dunbar’s poetry?
选项
A、During Dunbar’s lifetime, critics did not commonly evaluate his works according to aesthetic criteria.
B、Negative critical evaluations of Dunbar’s poetry on social grounds caused his work to become less popular with the reading public in the periods following the First Word War
C、In the period between the First World War and the 1970s, critics did not commonly evaluate Dunbar’s works in terms of psychological and historical considerations
D、A reversal of a negative critical trend led to wider popularity of Dunbar’s works among the reading public in the 1970s
E、In the 1970s, scholars began to reevaluate Dunbar’s work in the light of James Weldon Johnson’s criticism of the limitations of dialect poetry
答案
C
解析
根据第五句,在1970年代之后,学者们才开始强调心理和历史的维度,这意味着之前的评论家普遍没有按照这些维度去评价邓巴的作品,因此选项C正确。A项尽管第四句,一战之后的评论家从审美角度批判了邓巴的作品,但是我们无法知道邓巴在世的时候有没有评论家按照审美标准去评价其作品。B、D项:文章只是客观地记录了不同时期对邓巴的正评价和负评价,但是没说邓巴得到这些评价后其作品变得是否更受欢迎。E项文中未提及。
