摘　　要：爱默生的超验主义思想的一个核心意象是"诗人—神父"。这个意象的塑造结合了欧洲传统文化中的"俄尔普斯诗人"的意象和清教主义,既保持了与传统和宗教的联系,又将清教主义发展成为一种自然的宗教观,将文学的地位提高到和神的启示、和圣经同等的地位,甚至更高;将诗人的地位提高到比神父更高,极大地减少了宗教对文学的束缚,激励了19世纪的美国文学创作,推动了美国新英格兰文艺复兴运动的发展。The image of the ＂Poet - Priest＂ lies at the center of Emerson＇ s transcendentansm, fhlS image is developed through the combination of the European mythological ＂Orphic Poet＂ and Puritan ideology to stimulate a natural religion, in which literature and poetry is excelled to the position of Bible and revelation, or even to a high- er position; and the poet is simultaneously promoted to a higher position than that of the priest. Therefore, with the image of the ＂Poet - Priest＂, Emerson freed American literature in the 19th c. from the influence of the harsh Puritanism, encouraged literary creation, and stimulated the development of the New England Renaissance.
