内容摘要: 缪里尔·斯帕克被誉为苏格兰近一百年以来最成功的作家,其创作以隐性或显性的方式呈现出苏格兰民族特征和构建苏格兰的民族想象空间。斯帕克的创作遵循了双重性创作原则,折射出苏格兰民族文学在人物塑造上典型的双重性特征,同时借鉴了苏格兰民谣体裁的各种创作艺术,并且以苏格兰的主要教派加尔文教为创作灵感和理念的重要源泉,在小说中凸显了加尔文教在苏格兰民族中举足轻重的地位。斯帕克的小说体现了苏格兰的重要民族特性,为这个民族留下宝贵的文化遗产,彰显出她与苏格兰民族间的写作渊源。

Abstract: Muriel Spark is regarded as the most successful writer in Scotland in the past century. Her writing displays, both implicitly and explicitly, the Scottish national characteristics and creates the space for the Scottish national imagination. Spark's writing adheres to the “nevertheless principle” and reflects the Scottish literature's typical duality in characterization. In the meantime, she draws so much from the various creative crafts in Scottish ballads and relies on Calvinism, the dominant religion in Scotland, as a key source of her inspirations and ideas, thereby highlighting the pivotal position of Calvinism among the Scottish people. Spark's fiction demonstrates typical properties of the Scottish people and has made valuable contributions to their cultural legacy. All this shows the close connection between her writing and the Scottish people.

Key words: Muriel Spark, spatial criticism, Scotland, national character
