本研究考察了玛丽·海斯在她的《女性传记》（1803 年）中使用的主要来源之一：安·蒂克尼斯的《法国女士们的生活和写作草图》（1778 年；1780-1），这是对约瑟夫·拉波特的《法国女性文学史》（1769 年）未经承认的“抄袭”。海斯在法国条目中对这部作品以及皮埃尔·贝尔的《历史与评论词典》（1697）进行了批判性和学术性的参与，通过其嵌入的性别副文本层，产生了一幅跨文化交易的复杂地图。因此，本文的目的是探讨蒂克尼斯为海斯更广泛的史学工作铺平道路的方式，并反思它们的趋同和分歧。随之而来的一系列问题将在分析过程中得到解决。例如，海斯并没有包括辛克尼斯词典中找到的所有女性：那么她遗漏了哪些女性，我们可以推测为什么吗？当她引用 Thicknesse 的条目时，她插入了什么类型的社论补充或更正？最后，这告诉我们什么关于海斯作为致力于妇女事业的批评家和编辑的立场，以及她的史学事业的修正主义倾向？
This study examines one of the major sources which Mary Hays used for her Female Biography (1803): Ann Thicknesse’s Sketches of the Lives and Writings of the Ladies of France (1778; 1780–1), an unacknowledged ‘plagiarisation’ of Joseph La Porte’s Histoire littéraire des femmes françoises (1769). Hays’s critical and scholarly engagement with this work for her French entries, as well as with Pierre Bayle’s Dictionnaire historique et critique (1697), yields a complex map of cross-cultural transactions through its embedded layers of gendered peritextuality. The aim of this article is thus to explore the ways in which Thicknesse paved the way for Hays’s broader historiographical work, and to reflect on their convergences and divergences. There ensues a series of questions which will be addressed in the course of this analysis. For example, Hays did not include all the women found in Thicknesse’s dictionary: so which women did she omit, and can we surmise why? And when she cites Thicknesse’s entries, what type of editorial addition or correction does she insert? Finally, what does this tell us about Hays’s stance as a critic and editor dedicated to the cause of women, and about the revisionist vein of her historiographical enterprise?
