摘 要 在書寫文學史的歷程中，胡適《白話文學史》往往被視為典範之作，而 胡適提出的觀點與主張，固然有可議之處，但也對後來的文學史書寫方向造 成了許多影響。在這樣的認知之上，本文要追問的是，胡適怎麼建構了文學 史？怎麼在「歷史」中突出「白話文學」？這種歷史的探溯，與胡適「當下」 的「文學革命」又有什麼樣的關係？更進一步來講，文學革命與白話文學的 結合，促成了胡適以文學為中心，並進而由文學關聯到其它層面的文學史思 考，這種思維架構，也深刻地反映在後來的文學史觀與著作。

Abstract In the course of literary history writing, Hu Shi’s History of Vernacular Literature is often regarded as a paradigm. Although his points of view and ideas seem to be debatable, they do influence the writing of literary history. Based on this observation, the present essay intends to examine how did Hu Shi construct the literary history and how did he highlight the category of “vernacular literature” in the “historical” scope. Besides, this paper also wants to discuss how is this historical exploration related to his “contemporary literary revolution.” To be more precise, the combination of literary revolution and vernacular literature results in Hu Shi’s particular way of thinking about literary history, which centers on literature and furthermore connects itself with other historical dimensions. Such a thinking framework has been reflected in the later works concerning literary history.
