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17世纪漫长的女性诗意手稿创作自觉地将作者的脆弱性与物质的脆弱性孪生在一起。该项目围绕手稿构建的阶段和组成部分，探索妇女如何在对写作的独特的早期现代理解的背景下，扮演政治和文学代理人的角色。我的作品将在对话中设定这些按性别划分的、研究不足的手稿的诗意和物质性，认为页面的网络生态允许词语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.
