项目摘要

The purpose of this project was to investigate the anti-slavery movement in mid-19^<th> century America and to see its influence upon the literary activities in Concord, Massachusetts. By placing once again the literary texts of Ralph W.Emerson and Henry D.Thoreau in the political context of antebellum America, I attempted to illustrate the close linkage between their works and the discourse of emancipation.In 2003,I mainly investigated the anti-slavery activities in 19^<th> century Concord. I made a research trip to Pennsylvania State University where I stayed for three weeks and concentrated myself on studying the abolitionist movement and other anti-slavery activities, including the Underground Railroad. The outcome of the research was shaped into the article "Anti-Slavery Movement and Walden-A Study of ‘Higher Laws" (Studies in English Language and Literature, No.55,2005).In 2004,I attempted to see how the discourse of emancipation was historically related to the rise of romantic literature in America, including transcendentalists' writings. My publications in this area includes "Thoreau's Poetics of Body" (Dawn in Me : Essays on the 150^<th> Anniversary of Walden, 2004), Dialogue between Nature and Literature : Urban, Pastoral, and Wild(Co-editor, 2004), "Literature on the Edge : A Study of Walden"(forthcoming).

本研究的目的是探讨世纪中期美国的反奴隶制运动<th>及其对马萨诸塞州康科德文学活动的影响。本文将爱默生和梭罗的文学文本重新置于美国南北战争前的政治语境中，试图说明他们的作品与解放话语之间的密切联系<th>。我去了宾夕法尼亚州立大学做了一次研究，在那里我呆了三个星期，集中精力研究废奴运动和其他反奴隶制活动，包括地下铁路。2004年，笔者撰写了《反奴隶制运动与瓦尔登湖--关于“高等法律”的研究》一文（《英语语言与文学研究》2005年第55期），试图从历史的角度探讨解放话语与包括超验主义者作品在内的美国浪漫主义文学的兴起之间的关系。我在这一领域的出版物包括《梭罗的身体诗学》（《我的黎明：瓦尔登150周年随笔<th>》，2004年）、自然与文学之间的对话：城市、田园和狂野（合编，2004年）、《边缘文学：对瓦尔登的研究》（即将出版）。
