This essay investigates the parodic structure of A Fig for Fortune (Anthony Copley’s 1596 parody of The Faerie Queene) and argues that greater attention to the poem’s parodic features illuminates its incongruities and expands our understanding of early modern parody at the intersection of religion and politics. Given parody’s dual commitments to both echoing and diverging from its source material, the essay highlights key examples of each, demonstrating how and why Copley imitates and deviates from Spenser as he does. While Fig’s divergence from FQ accentuates Copley’s pacifist, anti-jesuitical, and firmly Catholic impulse, the poem’s echo of Spenser threatens to undermine this very message, which ultimately points, to the paradoxes that define both Catholic dissent and the parodic mode. It is the poem’s structure as a parody – as much as its expression of the religious and political experience of English Catholics – that makes it valuable to our understanding of early modern literature.

安东尼科普利和戏仿的悖论

这篇文章调查了《财富无花果》(安东尼·科普利 1596 年对仙后的模仿)的模仿结构,并认为对这首诗模仿特征的更多关注阐明了其不协调之处,并扩大了我们对宗教和政治交叉点处的早期现代模仿的理解。鉴于戏仿作品既要呼应又要背离其源材料,这篇文章重点介绍了每一个的关键例子,展示了科普利如何以及为什么像他那样模仿和背离斯宾塞。而FigFQ的背离强调科普利的和平主义、反耶稣会和坚定的天主教冲动,这首诗对斯宾塞的回声有可能破坏这一信息,最终指向定义天主教异议和模仿模式的悖论。正是这首诗作为模仿的结构——以及它表达了英国天主教徒的宗教和政治经验——使它对我们理解早期现代文学很有价值。
