Abstract The premodern past was desired and deployed in a myriad of different ways in sixteenth-century England. The period of the English Reformations produced a generative, complex, and paradoxical range of feelings for the premodern. Many sixteenth-century texts were multiply medievalist, making use of literary figures, generic forms, and cultural phenomena in unexpected ways. Various senses of temporality — understandings of the shapes and nature of cultural time — were often foregrounded. Reformation historiography was often sectarian and combative, but also sought tangible contact with the textual remains of the past. These feelings for the premodern were then unavoidably present in the 1590s but were subject to use in nascent literary forms that were self-consciously avant-garde in different ways. Antiquity and archaism were brought together with a heightened sense of contemporaneity. In prose fiction, the premodern could be used in different forms of scandalously risqué, comic, and autobiographical narratives. In historical poetry produced in the same decade, a new literary mode made poetic capital out of a heightened emotional discourse associated with premodern history and culture.

现代英格兰早期中世纪主义的使用：恢复，暂时性和过去的“热情”

摘要在16世纪的英格兰，人们希望并以各种不同的方式来部署前现代的过去。在英国改革时期，对前现代人产生了一种生成，复杂和自相矛盾的感觉。许多16世纪的文本是中世纪的复制品，以意想不到的方式利用了文学人物，一般形式和文化现象。人们常常提出各种时间感，即对文化时间的形状和性质的理解。改革史学通常是宗派主义和好斗的，但也希望与过去的文字遗迹有切实的联系。这些对前现代的感觉不可避免地出现在1590年代，但以新生的文学形式使用，这些文学形式以不同方式自我意识地成为先锋派。古代和古风融合在一起，同时代的感觉更加强烈。在散文小说中，可以以不同形式的丑闻，漫画和自传叙事来使用前现代小说。在同一个十年产生的历史诗歌中，一种新的文学模式使诗歌资本摆脱了与前现代历史和文化相关的情感论述。
