Although the Particular Baptist poet Anne Steele (1718-1778) is little known today, this article argues that her poems on time and death offer valuable insights into wider religio-poetical representations of time in the mid-eighteenth century. Her verse both responds to and departs from the conventions of graveyard poetry as exemplified by Edward Young’s Night Thoughts (1742-6), demonstrating close engagement with this popular subgenre as well as an intelligent critique of its devotional poetics. As such, Steele’s writing foregrounds yet also problematises emerging distinctions between writing and religion, and thus argues for new methodologies in religious and literary history.

反对爱德华·杨的夜晚思想:安妮·斯蒂尔墓地诗歌中的基督教时间和诗意表

尽管今天浸信会特别诗人安妮·斯蒂尔(Anne Steele)(1718-1778)鲜为人知,但本文认为,她关于时间和死亡的诗提供了对18世纪中叶更广泛的时间政治思想表征的宝贵见解。她的经文既回应并背离了墓地诗歌的传统,以爱德华·杨的《夜思》(Night Thoughts,1742-6)为代表,表明了对这一流行亚流派的密切参与以及对其虔诚诗学的明智批判。同样地,斯蒂尔的写作前景也使写作与宗教之间的新区分成为问题,从而为宗教和文学史寻求新的方法论。
