Water, Economy, and Gender/Sexuality in Poems of Duck and Collier

玛丽·科利尔诗意的嗓音，或者说她的平民文化想象中的“洗衣妇”，被发现遭到了“双重”疏离；首先是她看似“反对”的男性斯蒂芬·达克扮演的打草人，他与她的普通劳动阶级属于同一个社会阶层，然后是他们的文化对手亚历山大·波普，他显然是18世纪礼仪文化的代表，属于绅士/乡绅阶层。我们通过分析他们当时关于乡村社会各方面的几首诗，可以看出她的这种双重疏离；这些诗歌通过比较他们独特的水意象，以及他们在诗歌话语中的性/性/性别意识形态，从文化和社会角度进行解读。

Mary Collier's poetic voice, or her plebeian-cultural imagination as "a washer woman," is found out to be "doubly" alienated; first from her seemingly "opposing" male, Stephen Duck as a thresher, who belongs to the same social class as hers, common labouring class, and then from their cultural opponent, Alexander Pope, who clearly belongs to the gentry/squirarchy as a representative of 18th-Century polite culture.This double alienation of her can be shown through our analyses of their several poems concerning the aspects of rural society at those times; the poems are interpreted culturally and socially by comparison of their particular clusters of "water" imagery, together of their sex/sexuality/gender ideologies, in their poetic discourses.
