Abstract:Abraham Fraunce has long been recognized as an important participant in the literary culture of the 1580s and 1590s, an early reader and acquaintance of Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, and other Elizabethan writers. His own works span a wide range of humanist disciplines and genres, including neo-Latin drama, English quantitative poetry, mythography, emblems, logic, rhetoric, and legal theory. Some of his less literary pursuits, particularly his work in law and Ramist logic, can seem misguided, eccentric, or hard to reconcile with his poetic interests; but this article reads Fraunce's work as an exemplary Elizabethan attempt to coordinate the varied intellectual arenas in which humanistically trained graduates might be expected to perform. Moreover, it argues that central to Fraunce's thinking was the question of coherence—the coherence of his culture, of his professional identity and practice as a lawyer, and of the literary texts he wrote and read. While Fraunce remains the primary focus, the article draws on a wide range of texts, from ancient rhetoric, biblical exegesis, and humanist dialectic, to trace the history and role of this important category of Elizabethan hermeneutic inquiry and literary experience. Fraunce's varied interests and his committed but speculative attempts to understand their affinities offer us a rich sense of the overlapping disciplinary spaces in which questions central to late Elizabethan literary theory and practice were explored.

16世纪英国的“文本连贯性”：与亚伯拉罕·弗朗西一起阅读文学和法律

摘要：亚伯拉罕·弗朗西（Abraham Fraunce）长期以来一直被认为是1580和1590年代文学文化的重要参与者，是Philip Sidney，Edmund Spenser和其他伊丽莎白时代的作家的早期读者和熟人。他自己的作品涵盖了广泛的人文学科和流派，包括新拉丁戏剧，英语定量诗歌，神话，标志，逻辑，修辞学和法律理论。他的一些文学学方面的追求，尤其是他在法律和拉美主义逻辑方面的工作，似乎被误导，古怪或难以与他的诗意相融；但是本文将Fraunce的作品看做是伊丽莎白时代的典范，她试图协调各种知识领域，在这些领域中，受过人文训练的毕业生可能会表现出色。而且，它认为Fraunce'的核心 他的思想是连贯性的问题，即他的文化，他作为律师的专业身份和执业以及他撰写和阅读的文学作品是否连贯。虽然Fraunce仍然是主要重点，但本文借鉴了广泛的文本，包括古代修辞学，圣经释经和人文辩证法，以追溯这一重要类别的伊丽莎白女王诠释学探究和文学经验的历史和作用。弗朗西的兴趣浓厚，他为理解他们的亲密关系而做出的坚定但投机的尝试使我们对重叠的学科空间有了丰富的认识，在其中探索了伊丽莎白时代后期文学理论和实践的中心问题。本文借鉴了广泛的文本，从古代修辞学，圣经解释学和人文辩证法，来追溯这一重要的伊丽莎白女王诠释学探究和文学经验类别的历史和作用。弗朗西的兴趣浓厚，他为理解他们的亲和力而做出的坚定而投机的尝试使我们对重叠的学科空间有了丰富的认识，在这些学科空间中探索了伊丽莎白时代后期文学理论和实践的核心问题。本文借鉴了古代修辞学，圣经解释学和人文辩证法等广泛的文本，以追溯这一重要的伊丽莎白女王诠释学探究和文学经验类别的历史和作用。弗朗西的兴趣浓厚，他为理解他们的亲和力而做出的坚定而投机的尝试使我们对重叠的学科空间有了丰富的认识，在这些学科空间中探索了伊丽莎白时代后期文学理论和实践的核心问题。
