陳霆（1479-約1560），弘治十五年（1502）進士，正德二年（1507）遭劉瑾（1451-1510）陷害入獄。劉瑾被誅後出任山西提學僉事，隔年辭官隱居著述。有《水南稿》、《水南集》、《渚山堂詞話》、《渚山堂詩話》等。詞體初期為應歌之用，以娛賓遣興為旨，然自蘇軾起漸開言志之風，至宋室南渡後，更將個人性格與詞作風格相互關聯。時至明代，詞評者亦延續人品與詞品之論，《渚山堂詞話》為明代詞話中之佳作，在詞體源流、詞學觀念及詞家、詞作的品評上皆有涉及，此外《渚山堂詞話》中提及詞家者，常將詞品與人品相聯繫，綜觀全書中論及人物者，或讚忠勇報國之臣，或責趨奉獻媚之奸，更兼有警醒世教之語，皆展現獨到觀點。陳霆主要活動的弘治、正德年間朝政紛擾，盜寇四起，陳霆亦被權臣所誤，仕宦連蹇，終至灰心仕途，正因時不我予，故陳霆對於歷代能堅守志節的純臣多報以嘉讚；對於迷奪纏陷的奸舋小人，亦不諱予以筆伐。本文即探討陳霆詞話中對歷來人物之品評，並論及其品評標準之成因，以期能對陳霆及《渚山堂詞話》能有更全面之探討。
