摘要
文化与文学不可分割。近古以来,英国文学一直演绎着两个强劲的文化主题:道德关切和转型焦虑。希伯来精神和基督教伦理是英国道德血脉的源头活水,工业革命带来了社会生活方式的巨大转型并引发了人们的普遍焦虑,转型焦虑导致心智缺失。历代英国文人作家肩负着历史责任和人文精神,创作出一系列的优秀作品。在具体的创作中,英国文学的基本路径就是传承道德、化解焦虑和培育心智。英国文学在表征文化的过程中,创造了乌托邦理想和锻造了共同体意识,反对机械主义、拜金主义和工具理性,从而积极彰显民族精神的高尚追求,最终走向有机体式的完美与和谐。
Culture and literature are inseparable.Ever since modern-ancient times,English Literature has been revolving around two strong themes,namely,moral concern and transitional anxiety.Hebraism and Christian ethics serve as the source of moral tradition in Britain,and the Industrial Revolution brought about tremendous changes to people’s life style and aroused general anxiety among the people.Transitional anxiety led to deficiency of mind.The English writers,by shouldering historical responsibility and upholding humanistic spirit,have created a series of literary masterpieces.Accordingly,English literature basically helps sustain morality,dissipate anxiety and cultivate people’s mind.In the process of cultural representation,English literature has created Utopia and shaped community awareness,opposing mechanism,money-worship and instrumental reason,thus actively highlighting its noble national spirit and striving for perfection and harmony of an organic unity.
