The Bible’s Influence on English Literature

Abstract

The Bible provides English literature with inexhaustible sources and has great influence on it. Writers generally employ the materials of the Bible in four aspects: use the Bible’s theme as the theme of their works; quote the names of the characters or the allusions in the Bible; employ the styles of the Bible; and make use of the Bible’s symbolic meaning. As English literature reflects the Bible in various aspects, it is necessary to acquaint ourselves with the Bible so as to understand English literature better.

摘 要

《圣经》是基督教的经典作品，为英美文学提供了取之不尽、用之不竭的素材。英美作家化用《圣经》故事的主要方法有：借用《圣经》的主旨思想；借鉴《圣经》文体和艺术方面的特征；直接引用《圣经》故事或对原型故事进行变形或处理作为创作素材；通过比喻，隐喻或象征等手法把《圣经》故事的寓意融会到作品情节中或人物性格里，使这些故事发挥有力的陪衬作用。英美文学作品无不体现《圣经》的各个侧面,因此对《圣经》的了解有助于我们进一步欣赏英美文学，加深我们对英美文化和思想意识的了解, 从而更好地学习、欣赏乃至研究英国文学作品。

I. Introduction

The Bible is the only book of Christianity. It consists of two testaments, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament contains the Jewish writings before the coming of the Christ. The New Testament contains four accounts (gospels) of the life of Christ. They are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This part covers the life of Jews and the history of the production and development of Christianity. If one reads the Bible carefully, he will find out that the Bible does not only record the history of the ancient Hebrews, or the Jews, but also is a philosophical work with plentiful meanings. It is said that the creation of the Bible lasted for over 1000 years and by numberless writers. In this long process of creation, the Bible became and is still the most important book in Christianity world. With the Christianity spreading all over the western world, the Bible has become more and more popular, this is why the Bible is not weakened. Some people read nothing but the Bible all their lives, and get their knowledge mainly from the Bible in Britain. The Bible is also used as a textbook and component of students’ education. The concept and philosophy of the Bible has been deeply pervading into the mind of English-speaking people, especially the writers who like thinking.

Writers use materials of the Bible by four main methods. First, the writers use the Bible’s theme as their article’s theme. Second, they quote persons names or allusions of the Bible as the character’s names or plots of the creations from the Bible. Sometimes they make some changes on the original stories. Sometimes they quote stories directly from the Bible as the writing materials. Third, the Bible influences British literature on styles. Forth, they make use of symbolic meaning of the Bible by some technical such as simile, metaphor and symbolism, so that the stories could exert a great influence on contrasting with the new products. …… 此处隐藏：2027字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
