John Hardyng Chronicle Edition Second

项目摘要

John Hardyng's verse Chronicle survives in two noticeably different versions, both of which were composed during a period of intense civil unrest and political uncertainty, commonly known as The Wars of the Roses. Charting the succession of British and English monarchs from Britain's mythical naissance to 1437, the first version was presented to Henry VI in 1457; at 2674 stanzas and 7 folios of prose long, it survives in a single manuscript. Within three years Hardyng began revising the history for his sovereign's political rival, Richard, duke of York, to take into account York's election as Henry VI's successor. Though the duke died before the work was completed, Hardyng continued his revision for York's son, Edward IV, extending the Chronicle's coverage to 1464. A crucial piece of Yorkist propaganda, incorporating genealogical evidence of Edward's entitlement to the thrones of Britain, France, Spain, Portugal and Jerusalem, and romance materials which align York with King Arthur and the Holy Grail, this shorter version (1771 stanzas and 12 folios of prose) enjoyed greater popularity than the original, surviving in twelve manuscripts, three fragments, and two sixteenth-century prints. It featured prominently in the glut of pro-Yorkist literature produced in the capital c. 1460-80, where the majority of the manuscripts were produced, and it influenced later writers, such as Malory, Rous, Fabyan, Stow, Spenser, Shakespeare, and Milton.Despite the fact that the Chronicle, in both forms, is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval and early modern literature, fifteenth-century history, and the history of the book, neither version has received the consideration it deserves with regard to the complex socio-political context which led to its composition and revision, to the contribution it makes to a wider body of historiographical writing in late medieval Britain (especially given that it is written in the vernacular), to Hardyng's idiosyncratic conception of British history, to the material remains of the medieval book trade preserved in the extant manuscripts and prints, or to the way in which the second version was used by later authors.Part of the reason for this neglect has been accessibility. Whilst Simpson and Peverley's scholarly edition (2010/11) has addressed the absence of an edition the first version, to date there is no widely accessible, suitably 'readable', or properly annotated edition of the second version. Aside from the two editions printed by Richard Grafton in 1543, the only edition available to scholars is that published by Henry Ellis in 1812. Though commendable in its day, Ellis's edition is now inadequate. Based on Grafton's prints, it fails to take into account thirteen of the fifteen manuscripts and fragments, and handles the two manuscripts that it does provide variant readings from haphazardly.The aim of this project is to produce the first fully annotated scholarly edition of the second version of Hardyng's Chronicle, which brings together all that is currently known about the work's cultural, historical and material contexts. The edition will be published by Boydell and Brewer and read internationally by scholars and students interested in late medieval literature, history, and manuscript production. It will also be of interest to those interested in medieval kings, Arthurian literature, Scotland, heraldry, medieval warfare, and the local history of people and places of Northern England.More broadly, the resulting long-lasting, accessible resource will stimulate new interest in the function and reception of late medieval historiography. To this end, two research papers will be presented at international conferences, and a symposium on medieval historical writing will be held to coincide with the publication of the edition. This will hopefully be supported by a public exhibition on historical writing in the medieval and early modern periods at the Bodleian Library.

约翰·哈丁的诗歌《编年史》有两个明显不同的版本，这两个版本都是在一个激烈的内乱和政治不确定的时期创作的，通常被称为玫瑰战争。该书记录了从英国神话般的诞生到1437年英国和英国君主的继承情况，第一版于1457年提交给亨利六世;全书有2674节，7行散文，以一份手稿的形式保存下来。三年内，哈丁开始为他的政敌约克的杜克公爵理查修改历史，以考虑到约克当选为亨利六世的继任者。虽然杜克公爵在完成之前就去世了，但哈丁继续为约克的儿子爱德华四世修订，将编年史的覆盖范围扩大到1464年。这本书是约克派的重要宣传品，它结合了爱德华在英国、法国、西班牙、葡萄牙和耶路撒冷的王位继承权的家谱证据，以及将约克与亚瑟和圣杯联系在一起的传奇材料。这本较短的版本（1771节，12节散文）比原作更受欢迎，现存12份手稿，3份碎片和两份16世纪的印刷品。它在首都c产生的大量亲约克派文学中占有突出地位。1460- 1480年，大部分手稿都是在那里制作的，它影响了后来的作家，如马洛里，劳斯，法比安，斯托，斯宾塞，莎士比亚和米尔顿。尽管事实上，编年史，在这两种形式，是一个宝贵的资源，为中世纪和早期现代文学，十五世纪的历史，和历史的书的学者，这两个版本都没有得到应有的考虑，考虑到导致其组成和修订的复杂社会政治背景，以及它对中世纪晚期英国更广泛的史学写作的贡献（特别是考虑到它是用白话文写的），哈丁对英国历史的独特看法，现存手稿和印刷品中保存的中世纪图书贸易的物质遗迹，或者是第二个版本被后来的作者使用的方式。这种忽视的部分原因是可访问性。虽然Simpson和Peverley的学术版（2010/11）已经解决了第一个版本的缺失，但到目前为止，第二个版本还没有广泛访问，适当的“可读”或适当注释的版本。除了理查德·格拉夫顿在1543年印刷的两个版本外，学者们唯一能得到的版本是亨利·埃利斯在1812年出版的版本。虽然在当时值得称赞，但埃利斯的版本现在已经不够了。根据格拉夫顿的印刷品，它没有考虑到15份手稿和碎片中的13份，并处理了两份手稿，它确实提供了来自偶然的不同阅读。这个项目的目的是制作第一个完全注释的第二版哈丁编年史的学术版，它汇集了所有目前已知的关于这部作品的文化，历史和材料背景。该版本将由Boewell和Brewer出版，并由对中世纪晚期文学，历史和手稿制作感兴趣的学者和学生在国际上阅读。这也将是感兴趣的中世纪国王，亚瑟王文学，苏格兰，纹章，中世纪战争，以及当地历史的人和地方的北方England.More广泛的，由此产生的长期持久的，可访问的资源将激发新的兴趣在中世纪晚期史学的功能和接收。为此，将在国际会议上提交两份研究论文，并将在出版该版本的同时举行一次关于中世纪历史写作的研讨会。这将有望通过在Bodleian图书馆的中世纪和现代早期历史写作的公开展览得到支持。
