Numerological Researches in the Poetics of Space in Early Modern English Literature

本研究的目的是从数字命理学的角度探讨早期现代英国文学中的空间诗学.阐明了以马库修的马布女王演讲为代表的早期现代英国文化噪音解构罗密欧和朱丽叶的情节和行动的过程，这些意大利绘画的构图受到简单的几何解决方案的影响。分析《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中数字的神秘性，特别是女主人公13岁与剧中理想数字14.3之间的差距所体现的悲剧性。莎士比亚的《暴风雨》对被文艺复兴时期的线性透视观念所驱逐的“椭圆崇拜”的复兴过程进行了阐释。

The purpose of this research is to investigate the poetics of space in early modern English literature from the numerological perspective.1. The elucidation of the process in which the early modern England's cultural noise represented by Mercutio's Queen Mab speech deconstructs both the plot and the action of Romeo and Juliet measured in the "careful ratios of those Italian paintings whose composition was subjected to simple geometric solutions".2. The analysis of the numerical mystique in Romeo and Juliet, especially focusing upon the tragical facet featured by the gap between the heroine's age 13 and the play's ideal number 14.3. The explication of the process in which 'the cult of ellipse' expelled by the Renaissance idea of the linear perspective is revived and revitalized in Shakespeare's The Tempest.
