Recovering Lost Female Voices: Gender, Theology and Politics in Lucy Hutchinson's Order and Disorder

我的论文试图恢复露西哈钦森的声音，她是17世纪英国内战期间在诺丁汉写作的一位共和党人和清教徒。我的研究集中在哈钦森的评论书的创世纪，秩序和混乱，这是匿名印刷于1679年。我的目的是重新语境的史诗与哈钦森如何与她的政治和宗教环境，包括保皇党和共和党之间的两极分化的立场和宗教教派之间的类型争议，如阿民念主义者和新教徒。很少有人注意到哈钦森的“宗教练习”（DD/HU/3），这是一本个人的普通书，记录了她从1650年到1675年的神学演变，与君主制恢复后不断变化的态度有关。这本书在2018年只出版了一部分，这意味着在阅读哈钦森的个人信仰陈述到《秩序与混乱》的潜文本方面，还需要进行广泛的学术研究。本项目将：研究哈钦森在《秩序与混乱》中的神学演变和共和党意识形态。调查哈钦森的政治和宗教关系的影响后，恢复君主制;比较哈钦森的意见，她的文学同行，如共和党同胞约翰米尔顿（四分之一），托马斯霍布斯（利维坦）和保皇党玛格丽特卡文迪什;质疑诺布鲁克所说的哈钦森“缺乏自信的女性声音”，以及这是如何阻碍对她的作品进行修订和研究的。我的本科研究、我的硕士学位使我能够进一步探索诺丁汉县档案馆的露西·哈钦森的语料库，同时也为我提供了早期现代编辑实践和抄写、古文字学和图书史方面的经验。诺丁汉大学是我进行研究的最佳场所。哈钦森在英国内战期间住在诺丁汉城堡，诺丁汉县档案馆保存着她作品的大部分原始手稿。艾莉森·布姆克博士是17世纪文学的专家，他将于2020年6月组织大学关于露西哈钦森的国际研究研讨会，该研讨会恰逢哈钦森诞辰400周年。这次研讨会是一个更大的项目的一部分，该大学将在未来3至5年主办的英国内战的妇女写作。Lynda Pratt教授创立了该大学的区域文学和文化中心，促进与诺丁汉遗产和文学的接触。她还证明了在文本和上下文恢复的“丢失”的作者的专业知识。Gillian Wright博士专门研究恢复诗歌和书籍历史。

My thesis seeks to recover the voice of Lucy Hutchinson, a seventeenth-century Republican and Puritan writing in Nottingham during the English Civil War. My research focuses on Hutchinson's commentary on The Book of Genesis, Order and Disorder which was anonymously printed in 1679. I aim to recontextualize the epic in relation to how Hutchinson engages with her political and religious environment, including the polarizing stances between Royalists and Republicans and typological disputes between religious sects such as Arminians and Protestants. Little attention has been paid to Hutchinson's 'religious exercizes,' (DD/HU/3) a personal commonplace book charting her theological evolution from 1650-1675, correlating with changing attitudes following the Restoration of the monarchy. The commonplace book has only been partially published in 2018, meaning that extensive scholarship has yet to be done on reading Hutchinson's personal statements of belief into the sub-text of Order and Disorder.This project will:Research Hutchinson's theological evolution and Republican ideology in Order and Disorder.; Investigate the implications of Hutchinson's political and religious affiliations following the Restoration of the monarchy;Compare Hutchinson's views to that of her literary peers, e.g. fellow Republicans John Milton(Tetrachordon), Thomas Hobbes (Leviathan) and the Royalist Margaret Cavendish; To question what Norbrook terms Hutchinson's 'lack of an assertive female voice' and how this has obstructed the recension and study of her work.Building on my undergraduate research, my MA has allowed me to further explore Lucy Hutchinson's corpus at the Nottingham County Archives alongside giving me experience in early modern editorial practices and transcriptions, paleography and book history. The University of Nottingham is the best place for me to conduct my research. Hutchinson lived in Nottingham Castle during the English Civil War, and the Nottingham County Archives hold most of the original manuscripts of her work. Dr Alison Bumke, a specialist in seventeenth-century literature is organizing the University's international research symposium on Lucy Hutchinson in June 2020, which is timed to coincide with the 400th anniversary of Hutchinson's birth. This symposium is part of a larger project on women's writing of the English Civil War that the University will host over the next 3 to 5years. Professor Lynda Pratt founded the University's Centre for Regional Literature and Culture, which promotes engagement with Nottingham heritage and literature. She also has proven expertise in the textual and contextual recovery of 'lost' authors. Dr. Gillian Wright specializes in Restoration poetry and book history.
