趙滋蕃（1924-1986）的一生與文學，正如「風暴的靈魂」，席捲過戰亂中國、流離香港與反共臺灣。他的文學成就，夙與反共小說家如陳紀瀅、王藍、姜貴、端木方、段彩華、朱西甯、潘壘並稱，雜文及文學理論則少見學界深究。然而，正如趙滋蕃在自己的長篇類自傳小說《海笑》所言：「風暴的靈魂見證了命運之無常，彰顯出轉型期歷史中人的價值，人的尊嚴」。在當今臺灣重新檢視五０－六０年代文本的此時，趙滋蕃的文學創作與時代意義，值得全面鉤沈與評估。 本文主要論點有三：（一）指出趙滋蕃作品並非典型反共小說（二）其晚期小說（如《海笑》等）重要性不下於早期的《半下流社會》（三）分析其散文寫作的時代性與文壇非主流位置（四）耙梳原始資料，綜述其散文（雜文）創作成果。全文約三萬字，篇末並詳附趙滋蕃所有著作目錄及評論篇目，為目前僅見綜述趙滋蕃文學成果較完整的論文。論述範圍以小說散文為限，其文學理論將另立專文討論。

As described in The Soul in Storm, the life and work of Tsau Tzu-Fun (1924-1986) spread across war-torn China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Two decades after his passing, neither he nor his publications have drawn much attention from the academia. His literature is era-specific and therefore worthy of further study. Generally speaking, Tsau was acknowledged solely as an anti-Communist writer in the 1950s and 1960s. His long novels in later years, such as Hai Hsiao, along with his prose and unique literary theory, should not be ignored. After reading through all his publications and going over his relevant investigations, I explore in this paper his achievement and atypical character based on theories of novel, prose and literature.
