ABSTRACT Jane Susana Anna Liddiard was an Irish poet of the long eighteenth century whose life and work have received little scholarly attention. Her poetry, descriptive in nature, engages with a variety of subjects, including the landscape, abstract themes, and her affection for Ireland. Mount Leinster; or The Prospect: a poem, descriptive of Irish Scenery, though of disputed authorship, is perhaps Liddiard’s best work. Anonymously published in London, in the year of her death in 1819, the poem opens a panoramic view to the immediate landscape of Mount Leinster, providing a detailed account of drainage, tillage, and potato farming among other rural-agricultural practices, which unfolds into a strong criticism of British rule in Ireland. Written in the fashion of John Denham’s “Cooper’s Hill,” Mount Leinster is a georgic-topographical poem that celebrates the Virgilian concept of labor improbus while criticising British imperialism and absentee landlordism for draining the land of its riches and impeding peace and justice in Ireland. This article is an attempt at shedding some light, however dim, on the figure of Anna Liddiard as an Irish poet and on her Mount Leinster as a vehicle of expression where the environment, literature, and social justice concerns meet in a poem.

安娜·利迪亚德 (Anna Liddiard) 的伦斯特山 (Mount Leinster)：生态批判读物

摘要 Jane Susana Anna Liddiard 是 18 世纪漫长的爱尔兰诗人，她的生活和工作很少受到学术界的关注。她的诗歌本质上是描述性的，涉及各种主题，包括风景、抽象主题以及她对爱尔兰的感情。伦斯特山；或前景：一首描述爱尔兰风景的诗，虽然作者有争议，但也许是利迪亚德最好的作品。这首诗在她 1819 年去世的那一年在伦敦匿名出版，打开了伦斯特山附近景观的全景，详细描述了排水、耕作和马铃薯种植以及其他农村农业实践。强烈批评英国在爱尔兰的统治。以约翰·德纳姆 (John Denham) 的“库珀山”(Cooper's Hill) 的风格写成，” 伦斯特山是一首乔治·地形诗，颂扬维尔吉尔式的劳工概念，同时批评英帝国主义和缺席地主主义剥夺土地的财富并阻碍爱尔兰的和平与正义。本文试图阐明安娜·利迪亚德（Anna Liddiard）作为爱尔兰诗人的形象，以及她的伦斯特山（Mount Leinster）作为表达工具，环境、文学和社会正义问题在诗歌中相遇的地方，无论多么暗淡。
