夏濟安所創辦的《文學雜誌》，是五○年代臺灣最重要的文學雜誌之一。但過去論者對它的定位，多僅將它與五○年代稍早的《自由中國》，及六○年代之初的《現代文學》相聯繫。本文則擴大觀照視野，試圖由「文化場域」與「教育空間」互涉的角度切入，探討夏濟安及其所創辦的《文學雜誌》，是如何因為善用了「臺灣大學」--此一負有人才培育與學術研究雙重重任的教育空間--所提供的特殊資源及支援，促成當時文化場域的改變；而它又如何回饋到學院教育，為日後文化場域與教育空間的互動互涉再添動力，彼此對話交融，相生相成。此外，作為一份「學院派」雜誌，它賡續了抗戰前朱光潛所編《文學雜誌》之堅持文學的傳統，卻又在倡議「以文學理論誘導創作、「歡迎翻譯作品」的理念下，別出於前者，轉而為臺灣開創了另一新傳統，因而在臺灣文學／文化史上，具有重大意義。

Literary Review, founded by Hsia Tsi-an, is one of the most important literary journals of the 1950s in Taiwan, but many commentators have referred to it only in relation with the slightly earlier Free China and the 1960s magazine Modern Literature. This article attempts to broaden the perspective and sets out from the interaction of the ‘cultural field’ and the ‘education space’: How did Hsia Tsi-an and his Literary Review make use of the resources and the support available at Taiwan University - an educational space engaged in both elite training and academic research - to promote change in the cultural field? And what were the effects of this venture on academic education, on the dynamic of interactions and mutual influences of the cultural field and the educational space, their dialogue and their common growth? As an ‘academic’ journal, Literary Review placed itself in the tradition of Zhu Guangqian's pre-war journal of the same name, yet it also went beyond its predecessor, promoting ideas such as a “theory-informed literary creation” and “welcoming translated literature,” thus laying the groundwork for a new tradition in Taiwan. This is where the significance of Literary Review for Taiwan literary and cultural history lies.
