诺瓦利斯的小说《海因里希·冯·奥夫特丁根》被称为早期浪漫文学最具代表性的小说。同为成长发展小说 ,歌德的《威廉·迈斯特的学习时代》追求的是艺术家个人与社会的融合统一 ,而诺瓦利斯笔下的诗人却走了一条内在发展的道路。本文认为“强调内在塑造”这一基本特征根植于德国基督教文化传统 ,并试图从分析小说主导思想和情节内在发展结构出发 ,揭示小说中与这一特征相关的先定论、神秘感悟和爱的理念等宗教思想特征。 Novalis’s novel “Heinrich von Otterdingen” is called the most representative novel of early romantic literature. As a growth and development novel, Goethe’s “William Meister’s Learning Age” pursues the integration and unification of the artist’s individual and society, whereas Novalis’s poet takes a path of internal development. This paper argues that the basic characteristic of “emphasizing the inner shape” is rooted in the German Christian cultural tradition. Based on the analysis of the dominant ideology of the novel and the inner development of the plot, this article attempts to reveal the notion of a priori, mystery, and love associated with this feature in the novel Other religious ideological characteristics.
