摘要
美国文学中所体现的“自由精神”的本质是“拓殖精神”。其来源于西北欧地区的古凯尔特文化与基督新教文化的合谋,也来自于早期欧洲移民者的现实境遇所导致的心理选择。其文学“自由精神”的流变则体现为三个相应的发展阶段:一是早期对土地疆域的拓殖;二是对传统道德观念的拓殖;三是对自身价值观的拓殖。正是这种不同时期拓殖精神的传递或发展,导致了美国文学独特“自由精神”建构的内在矛盾并由此引发了形式上的两极状态。
The essence of the“spirit of freedom”manifested in American literature is the“pioneer spirit”.It originates from the collusion of ancient Celtic culture in Northwest Europe and Protestant culture,as well as from the psychological choices resulting from the practical circumstances of early European immigrants.The evolutionary logic of its literary“spirit of freedom”is reflected in three corresponding developmental stages:the pioneering of territorial expansion;the pioneering of traditional moral concepts and the pioneering of one's own values.It is precisely the transmission or development of this pioneering spirit at different times that has led to the inherent contradictions in the construction of the unique“spirit of freedom”in American literature and thereby triggered a bipolar state in action.
