二十世紀五、六〇年代台灣社會還非常保守，國民黨的統治更讓思想趨於封閉、僵化，知識青年的活力受到極大的壓制。當時雖號稱「自由戀愛」，但青年男女對此尚無經驗，因此內心充滿孤獨與挫折。本文企圖論證，這一心理狀態和當時剛輸入台灣的西方現代主義文學相結合，形成了二十世紀六〇年代台灣現代文學的特異風貎。

In 1960s, people in Taiwan were still leading a quiet conservative way of life, and the ruling by KMT made the intellectual condition even worse, therefore young intellectuals ‘vigor were severely suppressed. In that time, the concept “Romantic love” was popular, however, most of the young generation had no chance to practice and enjoy such merry experience, and consequently they felt frustrated and solitary. In this paper, I would like to analyze how the specific state of mind of this young generation was combined with the western modernist literary works, which was imported on those days. The fusion of the local and foreign trends eventually shaped the appearance of the Taiwanese modernist literary movement.
