项目摘要

As to the nature of representation of women'S subjectivity in Early Modern English literature, the investigator has come to an conclusion that there is a substantial difference of ways of representing women's subjectivity between male authors and female authors. In The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry by Elizabeth Cary, the representation of womwn has several distinctive features because its author is a woman. Elizabeth Cary is fully aware of the repressed status of contemporary wives resulting from their socially and exonomically handicapped situation. She incorporates their mental sufferings and struggle in the characters of wives in Herod's age, and investigates the ways Mariam tries to attain autonomus subject position in relation to her husband. Shakespeare is also aware of the women's desire for autonomous subject position in Katharina in The Taming of the Shrew, Portia in The Merchant of Venice, and Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra, but he represents their merits in t … More erms of his contemporary patriarchal ideologies of good women and wife. But Cary's mariam opposes such ideologies, because Mariam'S idea of dignity as a human being as well as a wife is perceived to be intolerably eroded by the ideological demand of "humility". The partiarchal society of the early modern England expects the virtues of humility and chastity on the part of women, and regards the two virtues as inseparable. But a female author like Elizabeth Cary takes a different view about the virtue of "humility". This testifies that female authors exert "female imagination", which might be quite different from "male imagination" of Shakespeare, Middleton, Webster and Ben Jonson, in representing female characters in their literary works. The nature of "female imagination" should be more fully investigated by analysing the works of Mary Sidney, Mary Wroth, Rachel Speght, and Aemilia Lanyer. But at present, there seems to be something in common among these women writers as to what I call "female imagination." Less

关于女性主体性在早期现代英国文学中的表现性质，研究者得出的结论是，男性作家和女性作家在表现女性主体性的方式上存在着实质性的差异。在伊丽莎白·卡里的《美丽的犹太女王玛丽雅姆的悲剧》中，由于作者是一位女性，女性形象的表现具有鲜明的特点。伊丽莎白卡里充分意识到当代妻子受压抑的地位，这是由于她们在社会和经济上的残疾状况造成的。她将他们的精神痛苦和斗争的特点，妻子在希律王的年龄，并调查的方式玛丽雅姆试图获得与她的丈夫的主体地位。莎士比亚在《驯悍记》中的卡塔琳娜、《威尼斯商人》中的鲍西娅和《安东尼与克莉奥佩特拉》中的克利奥帕特拉也意识到了女性对自主主体地位的渴望，但他在《驯悍记》中代表了她们的优点。关于我们他的当代父权制思想的好女人和妻子。但卡里的玛丽雅姆反对这种意识形态，因为玛丽雅姆作为一个人以及一个妻子的尊严的想法被认为是不可容忍的侵蚀的意识形态要求的“谦卑”。近代早期英国的封建社会期望妇女具有谦逊和贞洁的美德，并认为这两种美德是不可分割的。但像伊丽莎白卡里这样的女作家对“谦卑”的美德有不同的看法。这说明女性作家在作品中对女性形象的塑造中运用了“女性想象力”，这种想象力可能与莎士比亚、米德尔顿、韦伯斯特和本·琼森的“男性想象力”有很大的不同。通过对玛丽·西德尼、玛丽·沃思、雷切尔·斯佩特和艾米利亚·兰耶尔的作品的分析，可以更全面地考察“女性想象”的本质。但就目前而言，这些女作家之间似乎有一些共同之处，我称之为“女性想象”。“减
