【摘要】 二战后,涌现出许多优秀的犹太作家,他们开始在美国文学中占据重要地位,但是通过比较我们发现他们在创作内容上却很有很大的差别,比如,在马拉默德、辛格、以及索尔·贝娄的作品中,他们强调主人公的犹太身份,并且以描写犹太人的生活境遇以及道德教义为主,但是菲利普·罗思却在作品中对犹太教传统进行了嘲讽和批判,但是无论是强调犹太性还是批判它,他们创作的内容都是围绕犹太人来写的,与此形成鲜明对比的是约瑟夫·海勒、塞林格、阿瑟·米勒以及金斯伯格的作品,他们不再强调主人公的犹太身份,描述的对象也不再是以犹太人生活为主,而是战后人们的普遍精神状态以及当时的社会状况。从中我们可以看出,犹太文学的一个发展趋向,即犹太文学创作中的犹太因素逐渐走向淡漠,他们开始关注全人类的思想状态。这种趋向是文化变迁的真实写照,它是两种文化交融产生的必然结果。更多还原

【Abstract】 After Second World War, many distinguished Jewish writers began to come to the stage, and from that time, American Jewish literature started to play an important role in American literature. But through comparison, we found that there was big difference in what they wrote about ,for example , in the works written by Malamud , Singer , as well as Saul Bellow , Jewish identity was emphasized , and the lives of Jewish was described , but in the works of Fillip Roth, Jewish traditions were criticized ,by strong contrast , in the works of Joseph Heller, J.D. Salinger, Arthur Miller as well as Allen Ginsberg, Jewish identity was not mentioned , and instead of Jewish lives , they paid more attention to the people in general and social conditions after World War Two . From this comparison, we can detect the trend of American Jewish literature, that is, Jewish factors in the literary works of Jewish writers are embodied less and less, the writers pay more attention to the people in general not just limited to jews. This trend reflects the cultural changes which is inevitable when two cultures interact with each other.更多还原
