学界对维多利亚时期的“工作福音”曾做过整体性描述,但乔治·艾略特小说在其中的作用并未得到足够重视。她立足于19世纪英国社会文化语境,从宗教、社会文化和心理等多角度,阐释了“工作福音”的道德、审美以及精神救赎内涵。“工作福音”由托马斯·卡莱尔首次提出,成为维多利亚文化界对抗“现金福音”的利器。“工作”也是宗教界一直宣扬的重要价值理念。与同期的其他文人相比,艾略特不仅倡导民众摆脱“现金联结”的困扰,反对机械理性的刻板工作,提倡情感结构平衡,强调女性工作的重要意义,具有时代前瞻性。她以小说家身份传播“工作福音”理念,参与维多利亚时期民族共同体的建构。
The academic circles described the “Gospel of Job” in the Victorian period as a whole, but the role of George Eliot’s novel in it has not been given enough attention. Based on the socio-cultural context of British society in the 19th century, she expounds the moral, aesthetic and spiritual salvation of the “Gospel of Job” from the perspectives of religion, society, culture and psychology. “The Gospel of Job ” was first proposed by Thomas Carlyle as a weapon in Victorian cultural confrontation “Gospel of Cash ”. “Work ” is also an important concept of value that the religious community has always proclaimed. Compared with other literati of the same period, Eliot not only advocated the people to get rid of “cash connection ” trouble, opposed the rigid work of mechanical rationality, promote the balance of emotional structure, emphasizing the importance of women’s work, with the forward-looking era. As a novelist, she disseminated the concept of “working gospel” to participate in the construction of the ethnic community in the Victorian era.
