项目摘要

The 11th century was a period of dramatic change in England. The marriage of Æthelred the 'Unready' to Emma of Normandy, Cnut's Danish Conquest, the Norman Conquest, William the Conqueror's Domesday Book and, in 1100, the marriage of Henry I to the Anglo-Saxon princess, Edith, all stand out as pivotal events in English history. However, while recent scholarship has re-shaped our understanding of the socio-political history of the period, its literary history has been neglected. The aim of this project is to redress this neglect through interdisciplinary study.There are a number of reasons for the neglect of 11th-century literary culture. One is institutional and disciplinary: 11th-century England was a multilingual (and therefore multicultural) society, with English, Norse, French and Latin all spoken and used for literary composition, in contact with Welsh, Irish and Flemish; but often the study of these languages and literatures has been undertaken in relative isolation, by scholars in different fields. Similarly, 11th-century literary culture does not sit easily with the post-Romantic notion of 'literature', and, thus, literary scholars, linguists, historians, and art historians must join forces. Periodization is also a factor: traditionally, Anglo-Saxon literature is held to have peaked around 1000 (the date of the Beowulf manuscript), while Anglo-Norman literature is held to begin not before the 12th century, and Middle English not before the 13th. The literary history of the 11th century, then, has slipped through the net; and yet the 11th century was a vibrant period of literary creativity in England, across the many languages which political events brought into contact. This creativity is evident in the continued precocious use of English as a written language and the distinctive use of both English and Latin in administration, and in the re-vitalization of hagiography, the emergence of new forms of court literature in Norse and Latin, the spread of new scientific knowledge, the greater participation of women in literary culture, the presence of French speakers in elite circles, and changes to the conservative conventions of Old English poetry. The 11th century in England was, moreover, the great century for the production of vernacular manuscripts: 70% of the extant Old English manuscripts date to the period. This project will advance thinking about 11th-century English literary culture through five workshops and a postgraduate day-conference by addressing certain central questions: What was the nature of literary culture in 11th-century England? What kinds of literature were being composed, copied, read and heard? In what languages, and in what contexts? Who were the patrons, producers, recipients and other users of literary culture? What influences were being exerted upon and by 11th-century literature in England? In what ways did developments in England connect with those on the Continent?Participation in these workshops will include a core of scholars (some in the early stages of their careers) from a variety of disciplines and institutions, plus distinguished experts, some from North America. The workshops will enable thinking on the literary culture of the period to develop faster, and freer of institutional barriers, than would otherwise be possible. Their effects will be disseminated through the activities, publications, and, it is intended, subsequent collaboration of the participants. The workshops will be followed by a day-conference for MA and PhD students, which will open up the possibilities of 11th-century literary studies to the next generation of researchers - thus ensuring that the project will have a wide academic outreach and impact on Anglo-Saxon and Medieval English literary studies in the future.
11世纪是英国发生戏剧性变化的时期。在1100年,亨利一世与盎格鲁-撒克逊公主伊迪丝的婚姻,都是英国历史上的关键事件。然而,虽然最近的学术重塑了我们对这一时期社会政治史的理解,但它的文学史却被忽视了。这个项目的目的是通过跨学科的研究来纠正这种忽视。忽视11世纪的文学文化有很多原因。一个是制度和纪律:11世纪的英格兰是一个多语言(因此也是多文化)的社会,英语、挪威语、法语和拉丁语都被用于文学创作,并与威尔士语、爱尔兰语和佛兰德语接触;但对这些语言和文学的研究往往是相对孤立的,由不同领域的学者进行。同样,11世纪的文学文化也不容易与后浪漫主义的“文学”概念坐在一起,因此,文学学者、语言学家、历史学家和艺术历史学家必须联合起来。分期也是一个因素:传统上,盎格鲁-撒克逊文学被认为在1000年左右(贝奥武夫手稿的日期)达到顶峰,而盎格鲁-诺曼文学被认为不是在12世纪之前开始的,中世纪英语不是在13世纪之前开始的。因此,11世纪的文学史已经从网上溜走了;然而,11世纪是英国文学创作的活跃时期,政治事件带来了多种语言的接触。这种创造性体现在:继续早熟地使用英语作为书面语言,在行政管理中独特地使用英语和拉丁语,并从圣徒传记的复兴、北欧和拉丁语宫廷文学的新形式的出现、新科学知识的传播、妇女更多地参与文学文化、精英圈子中讲法语的人的出现以及对旧英语诗歌保守传统的改变中可见一斑。此外,英国的11世纪是白话手稿生产的伟大世纪:现存的古英语手稿中有70%可以追溯到那个时期。这个项目将通过五个研讨会和一个研究生日会议来推进对11世纪英国文学文化的思考,解决一些核心问题:11世纪英国文学文化的性质是什么?人们正在创作、复制、阅读和聆听什么样的文学作品?用什么语言,在什么背景下?谁是文学文化的赞助者、生产者、接受者和其他使用者?11世纪的英国文学对其产生了哪些影响?英格兰的发展与欧洲大陆的发展是如何联系在一起的?参加这些研讨会的人将包括来自不同学科和机构的核心学者(一些人处于职业生涯的早期阶段),以及一些来自北美的知名专家。这些研讨会将使对那个时期的文学文化的思考比其他方式更快地发展,并更没有体制障碍。它们的影响将通过参与者的活动、出版物以及随后的合作加以传播。研讨会之后将为硕士和博士生举行为期一天的会议,这将为下一代研究人员打开11世纪文学研究的可能性-从而确保该项目将对未来盎格鲁-撒克逊和中世纪英国文学研究产生广泛的学术影响和影响。
