The Study of American Slave Narratives and Black Literature

在2001年至2002年的研究期间，我致力于阐释奴隶制与种族问题，主要是白色与黑人问题之间的关系，以阐明它对美国文学的主题构成和表现方式的影响。本文的研究重点是：（1）19世纪50年代前后黑人自传体奴隶叙事的境遇和特点;（2）黑人的文学表现;（3）黑人自传体奴隶叙事对爱默生、亨利大卫梭罗、纳撒尼尔山楂、赫尔曼、梅尔维尔、沃尔特惠特曼等“美国文艺复兴”作家的影响，从政治、社会、宗教的角度进行思考<th>。我在这一过程中，不仅从文化的角度，而且还履行了几项职责，取得了一些成果，其中包括：（1）以多元文化的视角重新审视19世纪美国文学，扩大和深化了对“欧洲人、白色人<th>、男性作家”与斯托夫人这样的感伤主义者或弗雷德里克·道格拉斯和哈里特·雅各布斯这样的黑人作家有关。

During the term of my study, 2001 to 2002, I made great efforts to elucidate the relationship between slavery and racial problems, mainly the problems of the white and the black, in order to articulate its influence upon the theme-formation and representations of the American Literature. The emphasis of my study was placed chiefly on (1) the circumstances and characteristics of 19^<th> autobiographical slave narratives, (2) literary expressions of black people around 1850s, and (3) their effects or influences on the literary works produced by such authors of "American Renaissance" as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorn, Herman Melville and Walt Whitman, thinking over them from political, social, and religious point of views, not merely from the cultural point of view.I executed several duties, producing a few outcomes among which are these things; (a) the new re-examination 19^<th> American Literature based upon the multi-cultural point of views, and the enlarged and deepened articulation of "the European, white, male authors" in correlation with such a sentimentalist witeras Mrs. Stowe or such black writers as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs.
