伊迪丝·华顿作为美国十九世纪末二十世纪初的一位重要作家。因其对纽约上流社会鞭辟入里地刻画,使评论界过分关注其社会主题,忽视其宗教内涵。华顿是文学领域的思想者,其作品中的宗教思想远远超过她所描写的时空维度,其中宗教的灵魂与肉体二元论对华顿女性人物的塑造影响颇深,结合华顿的两部作品分析得出,华顿批判地接受二元论,并积极塑造着自己心中完美的女性形象。 Edith Wharton as an important writer in the United States from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Because of its portrayal of upper-class New York society, the critics pay too much attention to its social theme and neglect its religious connotation. Wharton is a thinker in the field of literature. Religious ideas in his works far surpass the dimensions of space and time described by her. Religious soul and physical dualism have a profound influence on the shaping of Wharton’s female characters. Combining two works by Walton Analyzed, Wharton critically accepted dualism and actively shaped the perfect female image in his heart.
