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17世纪，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结合在一起。该项目围绕手稿构建的阶段和组成部分，探索女性如何在独特的早期现代写作理解的背景下定位自己作为政治和文学代理人的角色。我的作品将把这些性别化的、未被充分研究的手稿中的诗歌和物质性放在对话中，论证网页的网络生态允许文字和身体沿着持久的连接网络分布。

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.
