盧瑋鑾（1939－）乃香港文學研究先驅，畢生以蒐集香港文學及文化出版物、歷史資料為己任，被視為最有能力為香港文學寫史的學者。她每言自己「缺乏史識」，始終拒絕為香港文學立傳；環顧香港以至現當代文學研究者，如此重視史料又堅拒寫史的學術取態，並不多見。木有根本，學有淵源，本文通過追溯盧瑋鑾七十年代初的留學經驗，探析其文學研究方法的形成經過。本文提出，盧瑋鑾在日本偶然開展的現代文學研究，與京都大學人文科學研究所應用的卡片法，擦出火花。京都學派結合人類學研究方法的多重史料互證法，與日本的共同研究學術文化，共同催生了盧瑋鑾獨特的治學理念。本文並會以她的編、論著及文學課程設計為例，詳細闡述盧瑋鑾香港文學研究方法的承襲與啟示。

Wai-luen Lo (1939-) is a path-breaker in Hong Kong Literature research. She takes the collecting of Hong Kong literature and cultural publications, historical materials as her lifelong duty, and is considered to be one of the most capable scholar to write Hong Kong Literature history. However, Lo has strictly refused to undertake such writing by claiming a lack of history consciousness. Her great attachments to historical materials with determined refusal on history writing, is quite an uncommon academic attitude among Hong Kong or even contemporary literary scholars. Every scholarship has its own origin just like every tree has root. This paper unfolds the establishment of Lo's literature research method by tracing her overseas study experience in the early-1970s. It proposes that the card research method applied by the Institute for Human Sciences of Kyoto University, hit it off with the modern literature research that Lo occasionally started there. Lo's unique academic research principle is deeply influenced by the Kyoto School's multi-textual historical criticism which integrated with anthropological methodology, as well as the Japanese joint-research academic culture. This paper also illustrates the inheritance and inspiration of Lo's research method, through examining her works and design of literary curriculum.
