摘要

The Reformation of the World examines the literature of an age that Lawrence Buell has called America's "history-conscious period," which stretched from the appearance of Walter Scott's Waverly in 1817 to the decade before the Civil War. This period, which saw the first commemorations of the Revolutionary War generation, widespread resistance to Native American removal, and the growing push toward abolitionism by religious partisans in the North, not only built memorials, such as the one at Bunker Hill, but also revisited the early histories of the nation to condemn the first crimes perpetrated by the first settlers. Between the 1820s and the 1850s, three major trends merged in American culture: the self-conscious memorialization of these two "founding" generations, the Puritan and the Revolutionary; an intra-Congregationalist reformation that led to the establishment of a Unitarian church and, later, to the offshoot of the Transcendentalists; and the massive popularity of the Waverly romance, realistic narratives that combined historically accurate events, such as the Pequod War or the Battle of Bunker Hill, and wholly fictionalized characters.;This study looks at three distinct types of historiography in the works of America's antebellum historical romancers: the non-sectarian lament for broken national unity written by Scott's first American heir, James Fenimore Cooper; the liberal-Unitarian revisionism of the first authors to turn away from New England's Orthodox Calvinist traditions, such as Catharine Maria Sedgwick, Eliza Buckminster Lee, and Lydia Maria Child; and the second-generation schism from Unitarianism that eventually went by the name of Transcendentalism, best represented (though not wholly endorsed) in the romances and tales of Nathaniel Hawthorne. These romances fall into the same form as those histories written by the first "history-conscious" age of America, the second- and third-generation of Puritan settlers. On the one hand, conservative authors such as Cooper saw a falling away from earlier perfection into disunity and declension. On the other hand, liberal authors such as Sedgwick saw a move toward perfection, as America repented for its older Calvinist sins. In either of these historiographical models, the dispute over American history becomes a dispute over revelation that underlies all post-reformation religious movements.
机译：《世界的改革》研究了劳伦斯·比尔（Lawrence Buell）称美国为“历史悠久的时期”的文学，这段时期从1817年沃尔特·斯科特（Walter Scott）的《韦弗利》（Waverly）出现到南北战争之前的十年。这一时期见证了革命战争一代的首次纪念活动，人们广泛抵制美洲原住民的迁徙，并且北部宗教游击分子对废除奴隶制的推动越来越强，不仅建造了纪念馆，例如邦克山的纪念馆，而且还进行了重新参观国家的早期历史谴责第一批定居者犯下的第一批罪行。在1820年代和1850年代之间，美国文化融合了三个主要趋势：清教徒和革命家这两个“奠基”一代的自觉纪念活动；会众内部的改革导致建立一神论教会，后来导致先验主义者的分支；以及韦弗利（Waverly）浪漫史的广泛流行，结合了Pequod War或Bunker Hill战役等历史上准确的事件的现实叙事以及完全虚构的人物。历史上的恋人：斯科特的第一任美国继承人詹姆斯·费尼莫尔·库珀（James Fenimore Cooper）写下的非宗派哀叹，打破了民族团结。自由主义一神论修正主义的第一批作者摒弃了新英格兰东正教加尔文主义的传统，例如凯瑟琳·玛丽亚·塞奇威克，伊丽莎·巴克敏斯特·李和莉迪亚·玛丽亚·柴尔德；以及一神论的第二代分裂，最终以超验主义的名义出现，在纳撒尼尔·霍桑的浪漫史和故事中得到了最好的体现（尽管不是完全认可）。这些浪漫史与美国第一个“具有历史意识的”时代，第二代和第三代清教徒定居者写下的历史形式相同。一方面，像库柏（Cooper）这样的保守派作家看到了从早期的完美过渡为分裂和衰落的趋势。另一方面，塞德威克（Sedgwick）等自由派作家则看到了走向完美的步伐，因为美国为较早的加尔文主义罪恶而re悔。在这两种历史学模型中，关于美国历史的争论都变成了关于启示的争端，而这场争端是所有改革后宗教运动的基础。
