Bluestocking North Elizabeth Montagu Education

项目摘要

Elizabeth Robinson Montagu rose to notability after her publication of An Essay on the Writings and Genius of Shakespear (1769) in which she defended the value of Shakespeare's writings against the criticisms of Voltaire. Her highly popular publication can be used as a key to Montagu's philosophy on education. However, it is her manuscript legacy which truly speaks to her unfiltered and unedited opinion on education. Montagu was a prolific correspondent, with over 4,000 of her letters still surviving in various archives and personal collections around the world. Her correspondence has been noted as one of the most 'important surviving collections from the eighteenth century' (ODNB). She frequently wrote to leading intellectuals of the eighteenth century such as Edmund Burke and David Garrick, while also corresponding extensively with members of the Bluestockings, including Elizabeth Carter, Frances Burney, Mary Hamilton, and many more. Elizabeth Carter was one of Montagu's closest friends, to whom she sent over 700 letters over the span of many years, and the two exchanged letters about their lives, covering everything from family trouble to overseas politics and Greek mythology. The correspondence has rightly been considered as a means of gauging Montagu's knowledge and networks, her reading, learning, and the strength of her proto-feminist approach to women's education. But the Bluestocking circle was a metropolitan phenomenon, and Montagu's skills of husbandry, mentorship and entrepreneurship were also required to manage her husband's estates, where she put into practice her ideologies of education.

伊丽莎白·罗宾逊·蒙塔古在发表了一篇关于莎士比亚著作和天才的文章(1769年)后声名鹊起，在这篇文章中，她针对伏尔泰的批评为莎士比亚作品的价值进行了辩护。她非常受欢迎的出版物可以作为蒙塔古教育哲学的一把钥匙。然而，正是她的手稿遗产真正表达了她对教育的未经过滤和编辑的观点。蒙塔古是一位多产的记者，她的4000多封信件仍然保存在世界各地的各种档案馆和个人收藏品中。她的书信被认为是最重要的18世纪现存收藏品之一(ODNB)。她经常写信给18世纪的主要知识分子，如埃德蒙·伯克和大卫·加里克，同时也与蓝鸟家族的成员广泛通信，包括伊丽莎白·卡特、弗朗西斯·伯尼、玛丽·汉密尔顿等。伊丽莎白·卡特是蒙塔古最亲密的朋友之一，在多年的时间里，她给他们发了700多封信，两人就他们的生活交换了信件，涵盖了从家庭麻烦到海外政治和希腊神话的方方面面。这些信件被正确地认为是衡量蒙塔古的知识和人脉、她的阅读、学习以及她对妇女教育的原始女权主义方法的力量的一种手段。但蓝袜圈是一个大都市现象，蒙塔古的管理、指导和创业技能也需要管理她丈夫的庄园，在那里她实践了她的教育思想。
