方维保先生的《荆棘花冠:苏雪林》2006年由广西师范大学出版社出版,它不仅是方维保先生多年苏雪林研究的收获,也是近些年苏雪林传记写作的重要成果。该著不同于一般的传记文学和评传,而是将历史书写、学术研究和文学性融于一体。全书将苏雪林置于历史和文化时空的宏大坐标系的核心,依托丰富的原始史料,鲜活地再现了这位20世纪中国文学与学术史上颇具争议性的人物。 Mr. Fang Weibao’s “Crown of thorns: Su Xuelin” was published by Guangxi Normal University Press in 2006. It is not only the harvest of the research on Su Xuelin by Fang Weibao but also the important achievement of Su Xuelin’s biographical writing in recent years. Unlike traditional biographical literature and commentaries, this book combines historical writing, academic research, and literary genres. The book places Su Xuelin at the heart of the grand coordinate system of historical and cultural time and space, vividly reproducing the controversial figure in Chinese literature and academic history of the 20th century, relying on its rich source of historical materials.
