摘　　要：布鲁斯音乐在美国的起源与发展过程见证了黑人在美国坎坷不平的生活经历。经典的布鲁斯音乐和成功的布鲁斯歌手将这种艺术形式升华为一种在逆境中保持乐观精神的生存方式。著名美国黑人作家拉尔夫·埃利森不仅从布鲁斯旋律中看到一种表现生存方式和展现生命哲学的途径,还意识到黑人音乐的文学潜能。他率先将这种文学潜能成功地转化为一种文学行为,将布鲁斯音乐运用于文学批评和小说创作中,在美国黑人文学史上获得了空前的成功,也为20世纪美国黑人文学走出自然主义抗议文学窠臼,走向一种新型现代文学奠定了基础。The origin and development of Blues witnessed the black experience in America. Classical Blues and successful singers have sublimated this art form into a way of life that can keep an optimistic spirit in time of difficulties and hardships. Ralph Allison not only locates a way of expression of life philosophy in Blues, but also comes to an awareness of literary potentiality in black music. He takes the lead to transform this potentiality into a literary act, and paves the way for the formation of a new modern literature to come out of the naturalist protest of Afro-American literature of the 20th century.
