摘　　要：本文考察了史蒂文·特雷西有关美国非裔文学研究论著,特别关注美国黑人音乐、美国文学、美国非裔文学和民间文学方面的具体主题。本文认为,特雷西在诸多问题上进行了颇有价值的探索,涉及:布鲁斯音乐的非洲源头和美国非裔源头,民间歌曲和民间故事及其文学功用,布鲁斯音乐的形式与结构要素及其在美国非裔文学中的运用,布鲁斯特征的应用、修辞技巧和节奏、区域性或历时性变化等,以及在音乐和文学中发挥重要作用的关键人物。本文还对特雷西关于兰斯顿·休斯、拉尔夫·埃里森、詹姆斯·鲍德温等非裔作家及T·S·艾略特、威廉·卡洛斯·威廉斯等重要白人作家的评论进行了审视。This article takes as its subject both books and essays by Steven C.Tracy that have not been included in any of his books,but rather focuses on smaller topics in the realm of African American Vernacular music,American literature,and African American literature and folklore.In this article,the author points out that Tracy valuably surveys:African and African American origins of the blues;folk songs,folklore,and literary usages;elements of form and structure of the blues and their employment in African American literature;uses of characters,common tropes,rhythms,regional and chronological variations of the blues;and important figures who have played a crucial part in music and literature.Along the way,this article examines the comments made by Tracy about such significant figures as Langston Hughes,Ralph Ellison,and James Baldwin,along with discussions of his treatments of white writers such as T.S.Eliot,William Carlos Williams,and others.
