项目摘要

My research explores the intersections between biblical and literary cultures in early modern England. In particular, my project focuses on the book of Genesis as it appeared in English between 1605 and 1667 - a period demarcated by the publication of Josuah Sylvester's 'Devine Weekes' on one side and John Milton's 'Paradise Lost' on the other.During this period, the book of Genesis provided a singular test to vernacular literature. While translations attended to its multivalent language, imaginative renderings turned the text into English verse, and scholarly commentaries unpacked its unparalleled theological significance. Yet critics have rarely examined Genesis in this period. Approaches have tended either to explore the relationship between scripture and major literary works, or to subsume its translation within large-scale biblical projects - from Coverdale to the King James Bible. By contrast, my study explores the variety of ways in which early modern writers engaged with biblical material. Genesis was translated, versified, expounded, sermonised, cut up and pasted back together. My work focuses on this single biblical book to recover a closer sense of the ways in which scriptural texts shifted between these various forms. It will show that scripture was not comprised of a stable series of biblical books, but a network of engagements that generated its singular significance.

我的研究探讨了现代早期英国圣经文化和文学文化之间的交叉点。我的项目特别关注 1605 年至 1667 年间英文版的《创世记》——这一时期以 Josuah Sylvester 的《Devine Weekes》的出版和约翰·弥尔顿的《Paradise Lost》的出版为界。在此期间，《创世记》为白话文学提供了一次独特的检验。翻译注重其多价语言，富有想象力的翻译将文本转化为英语诗歌，学术评论揭示了其无与伦比的神学意义。然而批评家很少审视这一时期的创世记。 Approaches have tended either to explore the relationship between scripture and major literary works, or to subsume its translation within large-scale biblical projects - from Coverdale to the King James Bible.相比之下，我的研究探讨了早期现代作家处理圣经材料的各种方式。创世记被翻译、韵律、解释、布道、剪切并重新粘贴在一起。我的工作重点是这本圣经书，以更近距离地了解圣经文本在这些不同形式之间转换的方式。 It will show that scripture was not comprised of a stable series of biblical books, but a network of engagements that generated its singular significance.
