摘　　要：19世纪欧洲都市的急遽扩张颠覆了西方城市作为“宗教中心”的古老传统，无限复杂的空间结构和社会结构超出了人的认知限度。文学领域出现了对于都市的“探秘狂热”，探索城市“迷宫”形成了迷宫式的文本，处身迷宫成为小说叙述者及主人公的生存形态。迷宫式的思维和小说叙述是现代都市体验的文学再现，同时又具有源远流长的神话与宗教根源，现代城市及文学再现与古希腊的迷宫之间存在着密切关系，而基督教价值原则依然作为潜在的核心价值引导着19世纪欧洲作家的都市想象。The rapid expansion of European cities in the 19^th century overturned the age- old tradition of taking cities as ＂religious centers＂ in the West when infinitely complex spatial and social structure went beyond human＇s perception. There appeared maze-like literary texts devoted to enthusiastic exploration into the maze-like cities, which make the basic setting for the fictional narrators and protagonists. Maze-like mentality and narration are the literary representation of modern urban experiences and can be traced back to long mythic and religious tradition by being closely connected to ancient Greek mazes and having Christian values as its central guidelines.
