Of this frail fabric...': Paper Ecologies, Place and Displacement in Women's Manuscript Poetry of the Long 17th Century

在这个项目中，我将论证，在漫长的十七世纪中，女性诗歌手稿的创作自觉地将作者的脆弱性与物质的脆弱性联系在一起。该项目围绕手稿构建的阶段和组成部分展开，探讨了女性如何在独特的早期现代写作理解背景下扮演政治和文学代理人的角色。我的作品将在对话中设置这些性别化、研究不足的手稿的诗歌和物质性，认为页面的网络生态允许沿着持久的连接网络分布文字和身体。

In this project I will argue that women's poetic manuscript production in the long seventeenth century self-consciously twins authorial fragility with material vulnerability. The project, structured around the stages and components of manuscript construction, explores how women navigated their roles as political and literary agents in the context of a distinctively early modern understanding of writing. My work will set the poetry and the materiality of these gendered, under-researched manuscripts in dialogue, arguing that the networked ecologies of the page allow for the distribution of words and bodies along lasting webs of connectivity.
