商品描述

Although the Bible is the foundation of American poetic tradition, there is no study of the Bible as an ongoing force in American poetry. Not only a source of imagery, allusion, rhythm and style, the Bible is central to how poetry has both shaped and been shaped by American civic, political, and social history, including issues of ethnicity, race and gender. Through poetry core issues of the Bible in American culture emerge in a new light. What defines America as a nation? What are its historical, political and religious meanings and direction? Vitally, how is it that the Bible is at once a shared common text, binding community, and yet was throughout American culture also contested, disputed, and politicized as a weapon of war? This study begins with the Puritans, and goes on to examine poetry of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, as well as claims and counterclaims in abolition, slavery, and women's rights. In doing so it treats both popular and major writers, including Edward Taylor, Frances Harper, Emerson, Whitman, Dickinson, Moore and Gwendoln Brooks, concluding with Amanda Gorman.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

雖然《聖經》是美國詩歌傳統的基礎，但對於《聖經》作為美國詩歌中持續影響力的研究卻相對缺乏。《聖經》不僅是意象、典故、節奏和風格的來源，它在詩歌如何塑造以及被美國的公民、政治和社會歷史所塑造的過程中也扮演著核心角色，包括種族、族裔和性別等議題。透過詩歌，《聖經》在美國文化中的核心議題以全新的視角浮現出來。什麼定義了美國作為一個國家？它的歷史、政治和宗教意義及方向是什麼？至關重要的是，《聖經》如何同時作為一個共同的文本，將社群緊密聯繫在一起，卻又在美國文化中被爭議、質疑並政治化，成為戰爭的武器？本研究從清教徒開始，接著探討革命戰爭和內戰期間的詩歌，以及在廢奴、奴隸制和女性權利方面的主張與反主張。在此過程中，研究涵蓋了包括愛德華·泰勒（Edward Taylor）、弗朗西斯·哈珀（Frances Harper）、愛默生（Emerson）、惠特曼（Whitman）、迪金森（Dickinson）、摩爾（Moore）和格溫多林·布魯克斯（Gwendolyn Brooks）等流行及重要作家，最後以阿曼達·戈曼（Amanda Gorman）作結。
