【摘要】：19世纪，美国历史上经历了西进运动，不仅对美国的政治经济产生了很大的影响，而且在意识形态领域孕育了边疆精神。弗雷德里克·杰克逊·特纳的边疆学说为现在研究美国西部历史奠定了基础，长久以来一直影响着研究美国历史的思维走向。这个理论尤其受到美国精英们的欢迎，他们一直在努力提高他们的社会地位。通过边疆理论，美国人可以在欧洲人面前自豪的宣告：我们的文化也同样优秀。欧文·韦斯特的代表作《弗吉尼亚人》成功的塑造了一个完美的牛仔形象。韦斯特的牛仔小说情节构造模式成为了美国牛仔小说的基本模式。而他笔下的牛仔也成为了经典的完美牛仔英雄。个人主义，实用主义，开拓精神一直为美国人的精神文明标签，而在牛仔小说中，这些美国国家精神都得以体现。弗吉尼亚人身上所具备的优秀品质传达了宝贵的牛仔精神。所以在某种程度上，牛仔精神是美国精神形成的源泉。虽然边疆已经消失，牛仔退出了历史舞台，但是边疆精神通过文学已经植入了美国人的身上。本论文由导论，主体，结论三部分组成。第一章介绍了美国牛仔小说发展概况。詹姆斯·费尼莫尔·库珀是美国牛仔小说的奠基者，欧文·韦斯特的《弗吉尼亚人》沿用了库珀的小说情节模式，融入了弗雷德里克·杰克逊·特纳的边疆理论，这些都使得美国牛仔小说的发展达到了顶峰。20世纪，赞恩·格雷的《消失的美国》和沃尔特·蒂尔堡克拉克的《牛弓事件》是两部经典的牛仔小说，不仅沿用了库珀的小说情节模式还采用了现实素材。西部牛仔小说以美国西部为背景起源于美国西进运动，牛仔作为小说的主人公体现出来的西部精神构成了美国精神的象征，西部小说展现了西部边疆生活的艰辛，赞扬了拓荒者为生存而奋斗的精神气度，这种独特环境下所锤炼的民族精神,正是美国精神的内核所在。第二章讨论的是经典牛仔小说《弗吉尼亚人》中的美国精神，重点讨论了三个主要美国精神，包括个人主义，实用主义和开拓精神以及它们在现今美国的体现。茉莉·伍德是东部文明的化身，，她的东部之行代表了东西文明得以结合并发展。这点体现了特纳的关于东部文化是可以在西部得以重现并发展的边疆学说。与茉莉相反，弗吉尼亚人代表着西部个人主义，他是美国西部边疆精神的典型代表。第三章总结了研究牛仔的现实意义，牛仔精神牛仔文化在美国人的日常生活中随处可见，已经成为他们生活中不可或缺的一部分.牛仔精神成为了美国精神的一部分。牛仔形象以及牛仔精神在社会生活随处可见。美国人喜欢牛仔，把牛仔看成是浪漫英雄。好莱坞如今是美国是最大产业之一，其中有牛仔的功劳。西部片持续繁荣了近半个世纪，对美国人的价值观和愿望都产生了影响。而这些西部片大多都是歌颂勇气和荣誉的。美国牛仔文化融合了多种文化的精华,区别于欧洲和其他国家的文化。牛仔是美国通俗小说的代言人。文学牛仔形象是全能英雄代表正义和公正，所有的牛仔英雄诚实举止得当。牛仔精神被人们当作宝贵的精神财富。
