摘要

摘要:在《科学与健康》（1875 年）一书中，基督教科学创始人玛丽-贝克-艾迪（1821-1910 年）劝阻追随者不要阅读 "令人作呕的小说"，即 "仅以夸张的画面、不可能实现的理想和堕落的标本而引人注目的小说"（195 页）。本文结合克拉拉-路易斯-伯纳姆、乔治-谢尔顿夫人和凯瑟琳-耶茨等基督教科学派追随者在 1900 年前后创作的小说，探讨了埃迪对小说的看法。埃迪暂时支持这些作者的文学作品，但拒绝让他们获得基督教科学出版协会的认可。如果艾迪认可了他们的小说，她可能会吸引更多的追随者，并巩固她的宗教在文学史上的地位。

"Nauseous Fiction": Mary Baker Eddy and the Christian Science Novel, 1900–1910

Abstract:

In Science and Health (1875), Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910) discouraged followers from reading “nauseous fiction,” that is, “[n]ovels, remarkable only for their exaggerated pictures, impossible ideals, and specimens of depravity” (195). This essay examines Eddy’s views on fiction alongside Christian Science novels written around 1900 by followers such as Clara Louise Burnham, Mrs. Georgie Sheldon, and Katherine Yates. Eddy tentatively supported these authors’ literary productions but refused to grant them the endorsement of The Christian Science Publishing Society. Had Eddy endorsed their fictions, she might have attracted more followers and strengthened her religion’s place in literary history.

期刊介绍： From its inception, Studies in the Novel has been dedicated to building a scholarly community around the world-making potentialities of the novel. Studies in the Novel started as an idea among several members of the English Department of the University of North Texas during the summer of 1965. They determined that there was a need for a journal “devoted to publishing critical and scholarly articles on the novel with no restrictions on either chronology or nationality of the novelists studied.” The founding editor, University of North Texas professor of contemporary literature James W. Lee, envisioned a journal of international scope and influence. Since then, Studies in the Novel has staked its reputation upon publishing incisive scholarship on the canon-forming and cutting-edge novelists that have shaped the genre’s rich history. The journal continues to break new ground by promoting new theoretical approaches, a broader international scope, and an engagement with the contemporary novel as a form of social critique.
