术语解释
1.Protestants(天津外国语2007研)
Key: Protestants refer to thosepeople who believe in Protestantism. Protestantism is one of the four majordivisions within Christianity. It is most closely tied to those groups thatseparated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century ProtestantReformation. Protestant doctrine was also known in continental Europeantraditions as Evangelical doctrine. It typically holds that Scripture is thesource of revealed truth.
2.American Puritanism(南开大学2008研;厦门大学 2011 研)
Key: The word Puritanism is originally used torefer to the theology advocated by a party within the Church of England. Theterm Puritanism is also used in a broader sense to refer to the attitudes andvalues considered characteristic of the Puritans. It has been employed todenote a rigid moralism, or the condemnation of innocent pleasure, or religiousnarrowness adhered by the early New England Puritans. The American Puritanismas a cultural heritage exerted great influence over American moral values. Andthis Puritan influence over American Romanticism was conspicuously noticeable.In addition, a preoccupation with the Calvinistic view of original sin and themystery of evil marked the works by such famous writers as Hawthorne and Melville.
3.Literary Journals:
Key:
①A journal is an individual’sday-by-day account of events. It provides valuable details that can be suppliedonly by a participant or an eyewitness. As a record of personal relations, a journal reveals much about the writer.
②While offering insights into thelife of the writer, a journal is not necessarily a reliable record of facts.The writer’s impressions may color the telling of events, particularly when heor she is a participant. Journals written for publication rather than privateuse are even less likely to be objective. The European encounters with andconquest of the Americas are recorded in the journals of the explorers.

论述题
1. Whatis the significance of American Puritanism in American literature?
Key: The settlement of the North Americancontinent by the English began in the early part of the 17th century. The firstsettlers who became the founding fathers of the American nation were quite afew of the Puritans. They carried with them to America a code of values whichbecame what is now popularly known as American Puritanism. It was one of themost enduring shaping influences in American literature. To some extent, it hasbecome a state of mind, a part of national cultural atmosphere that theAmericans breathe.
The American Puritanswere idealists, believing that the Church should be restored to the “Purity”and religion was a matter of primary importance. They accepted the doctrine ofpredestination, original sin, total depravity and limited atonement. It hasbeen a critical commonplace that the American literature—or Anglo-Americanliterature—is based on a myth, that is, the Biblical myth of the Garden ofEden. Fired with such a sense of mission, the Puritans looked at even the worstof life in the face with a tremendous amount of optimism. All this went, in duetime, into the making of American literature. The spirits of optimism burst outof the pages of so many American authors, such as, Emerson, Whitman, etc.
Furthermore, theAmerican Puritan’s metaphorical mode of perception was chiefly instrumental in calling intobeing a literary symbolism which is distinctly American. Puritan doctrine andliterary practice contributed greatly to the development of an indigenoussymbolism. The ever symbolizing process became, in time, part of theintellectual tradition. To Hawthorne, Melville, Howells and many others,symbolism as a technique has become a common practice. This peculiar mode ofperception was an essential part of their upbringing.
With regard totechnique, simplicity characterizes the Puritan style of writing. The style isfresh, simple and direct; the rhetoric is plain and honest, without a touch ofnobility often traceable to the direct influence of the Bible. All this has left an indelible imprint on American writing.Thus American Puritanism has been, by and large, a healthy legacy to theAmericans.
2. Do youagree that in colonial America there was no poetry at all? Give your reason.
Key:①Thestrenuous life of the pioneer left little time for cultivating any of the arts,and the spirit of New England was too serious and too stern to permitindulgence in what was merely pleasant or beautiful. Even after the firstcritical years of danger and struggle were past, the intellectual life of thepeople was bounded by the narrow limits of religious discussion and theologicaldebate. That the Puritan was not without imagination, however, is abundantlyproved by the forceful figures and impassioned rhetoric of the prose writerswho did only occasionally slip into rhyme. Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor aresuch examples.
②Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan whowrote ponderous verses of interminable, inter-locking poems. Her poems madesuch a stir in England that she became known as the “tenth Muse” who appearedin America. Her famous “Contemplation” offers the reader an insight into thementality of the early Puritan pioneering in a new world.
③Edward Taylor was a meditationpoet. In his splendid, exotic images, Taylor came nearest to the Englishbaroque poets. He was, first and last, a Puritan poet, concerned about how hisimages speak for God. He hasfaith in God who can save the erring, or possibly sinful, humankind from theevil designs of Hell.
