Researches in the Literature of Slander in Early Modern England

本研究以近代早期英国人的心理为研究对象，分析了近代英国教会法庭证词中的诽谤思想与英国早期诽谤文学中的诽谤思想之间的关系。研究结果如下：1.阐释了戏剧性之争与近代英国早期诽谤文学传统的融合过程，重点分析了《哈姆雷特》与托马斯·海伍德的《为演员道歉》的关联性。莎士比亚的《量度办法》中对形成皇室赦免过程中产生的诽谤的分析。本文运用了新历史主义的方法论以及娜塔莉·泽蒙·戴维斯的小说《档案中的故事：赦免十六世纪法国的故事及其讲述者》(1987)中所探讨的视角。在莎士比亚的《奥赛罗》中，对诽谤的几个方面的解释剥夺了苔丝狄蒙娜的代理权，并敦促奥赛罗扮演戴绿帽子的角色。

Focusing upon the mentality of early modern English people, this research analyses the relationship between ideas of slander in depositions of the church courts and those represented in the literature of slander in early modern England. The results of researches are as follows :1. The elucidation of the process in which the disputes over the theatricality merged into the tradition of defamation literature in early modern England, especially focusing upon the relevance between Hamlet and Thomas Heywood's An Apology for Actors.2. The analysis of slanders that are generated in the process of fashioning ducal pardons in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. This analysis makes use of the methodology of the new historicism as well as the perspective explored in Natalie Zemon Davis's Fiction in the Archives : Pardon Tales and Their Tellers in Sixteenth-Century France (1987).3. The explication of facets of the defamation, which deprives Desdemona of the agency and urges Othello to play the part of cuckold, in Shakespeare's Othello.
