唯一神教对盖斯凯尔夫人的影响

The Influence of Unitarianism On Mrs. Gaskell

唯一神教是基督教的分支宗派,在该派伦理思想的影响下,英国维多利亚时代女作家盖斯凯尔夫人自幼形成了注重社会公正、平等、博爱的宗教道德观,并最终把文学创作作为一种宗教实践,以此传播唯一神教的精神。由于她的作品倡导人与人之间的相互坦诚、宽容、理解和帮助,有利于促进社会的和谐发展,她受到了当今英国唯一神教派和自由基督徒教派的推崇。

Unitarianism is a sect of Christian church,which greatly influenced the English Victorian writer Mrs. Gaskell ever since her childhood.As a Unitarian,Mrs. Gaskell held a religious morality that emphasized social justice,equality and love. She even took her novel writing as a form of religious practice to transmit the spirit of Unitarianism. Her works,which advocated integrity,tolerance,understanding and assistance among people,helped to promote the social harmony. As a result,she is now praised highly by The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches.
