摘　　要：西方文学中的精神旅行,往往起因于作家无法通过旧有的、根深蒂固的地方传统来理解现实,而在旅途中对比观照,幻想未来美好生活和正义社会本质,对自身的文化建构有着积极的意义。在美国文学史上,从早期民族文学身份的确立,到现当代作家价值观的成型,常以西方文化传统中的旅行主题为载体。正是以欧洲旅行和西部旅行为参照,旅行主题在美国文学演变中逐渐形成一些基本特征。Originated from the fact that a writer cannot understand the reality by the old,deep-rooted local traditions,the spirit of travel in Western Literature,by making contrast with the reality,denotes the nice future and the just society and possesses the positive significance in cultural construction.In the history of American literature,from the early establishment of the identity of national literature to the formation of the contemporary writers＇ assumptions and values,as the carrier of western cultural traditions,the travel motif,based on European and American Western travel,has shaped some elementary characteristics in the evolution of American literature.
