Abstract

Abstract:Steinbeck’s work often articulates a deep familiarity with Presbyterian assumptions and values. While this is often expressed in terms of contempt or a rejection of America’s Calvinist strain, a consideration of Steinbeck’s family heritage offers a helpful lens for reading his work. Steinbeck’s Ulster Presbyterian family history shares much in common with America’s own story, and Steinbeck’s work, in particular East of Eden, might be read as an extended meditation on Presbyterianism. Far from simply rejecting that heritage, his writing reproduces its values in fascinating ways.

斯坦贝克的阿尔斯特：斯坦贝克在阿尔斯特

摘要：斯坦贝克的作品经常表达出对长老会假设和价值观的深刻熟悉。虽然这通常用蔑视或拒绝美国加尔文主义风格来表达，但考虑斯坦贝克的家族遗产为阅读他的作品提供了一个有用的视角。斯坦贝克的阿尔斯特长老会家族史与美国自己的故事有很多共同之处，斯坦贝克的作品，尤其是《伊甸园之东》，可以被解读为对长老会主义的延伸思考。他的作品并不是简单地拒绝这种传统，而是以迷人的方式再现了它的价值观。
