국문 초록

Quakerism, with its emphasis on the “Inner Light,” peace, simplicity, and equality, has played a significant role in American literature and history. This study explores the representation of Quaker values in American novels, particularly their commitment to pacifism, social justice, and spiritual introspection. By analyzing works such as Jessamyn West's The Friendly Persuasion and Theodore Dreiser's The Bulwark, the paper highlights how Quaker protagonists embody these principles amid societal and personal challenges. The analysis underscores the historical and literary impact of Quaker ideals, including their influence on movements like the abolition of slavery and women's rights. While Quakerism's spiritual ethos offers a counterbalance to materialism and conflict in both literature and society, its relevance in addressing modern ethical dilemmas is also considered. The paper concludes that the Quaker belief in social responsibility and inner spirituality provides a critical framework for fostering peace and equity in contemporary global contexts.
