论晚清政治小说作家

晚清政治小说作家多分布于社会经济文化发达且率先受到西方资本主义影响的闽粤、江浙和湖广三地。一方面，他们接受过系统的儒家思想教育；另一方面，他们又接受了西方进步思想文化的影响，自觉地肩负起启蒙与救亡的时代使命。从事政治活动是晚清政治小说家主要的社会存在方式，小说创作不过是他们从事政治活动的一种手段．但却适应了救亡图存的时代需要，并对后世文学创作政治化倾向的形成产生了深远的影响。

On Political Novelists in Late Qing Dynasty

The political novelists in the late Qing Dynasty mainly come from economically and culturally developed regions in the southern part of China.They received both traditional Confucian thoughts and western progressive thoughts, so that they may shoulder the responsibility of enlightening people and saving the country.
