摘要

摘要:本文考察了三位19世纪非裔美国人——大卫·多尔(1852年)、弗雷德里克·道格拉斯(1887年)和约翰·韦斯利·吉尔伯特(1890-1年)——前往希腊的经历，使用了他们的信件、日记和出版作品的证据。这篇文章表明，虽然每个旅行者都有自己独特的个人视角，决定了他们对希腊古代遗址和纪念碑的反应，但这三个人对一个与希腊基督教遗产有关的遗址的反应最为深刻:亚略巴古或玛斯山，根据19世纪的理解，使徒保罗曾在那里说过使徒行传中记录的话。

African American Travelers Encounter Greece, ca. 1850–1900

Abstract:This essay examines the experiences of three 19th-century African American travelers to Greece—David Dorr (1852), Frederick Douglass (1887), and John Wesley Gilbert (1890–1)—using evidence from their letters, diaries, and published writings. The essay shows that although each traveler's unique personal perspective shaped his response to seeing the ancient sites and monuments of Greece, all three men responded most deeply to a site connected with Greece's Christian heritage: the Areopagus or Mars Hill, where according to 19th-century understanding the Apostle Paul had spoken the words recorded in the Book of Acts.
