Abstract:

Scholars in Arthurian studies have outlined the intersection of the demonization of Guinevere with nineteenth-century conceptions of sexual and social mores for women. These studies, however, neglect to examine a certain feature of Guinevere’s depiction, a feature that speaks to a sinister impetus of British culture of the time: a discernible undercurrent of misogyny, violence, and eroticism in depictions of Guinevere’s debasement, humiliation, and punishment. Though existing scholarship has examined the vilification of Guinevere in her nineteenth-century afterlife, attention has not been extended to studying the troubling misogynistic, violent, and sadomasochistic impulses that sometimes imbued this denigration of her.

摘要：

亚瑟王朝研究的学者们概述了吉尼斯（Guinevere）妖魔化与19世纪女性性欲和社会道德观念的交集。然而，这些研究忽略了对吉尼弗雷描写的某些特征的研究，而这种特征说明了当时英国文化的邪恶动力：在对吉尼弗雷的贬低，屈辱和惩罚的描写中，明显的厌恶，暴力和色情现象暗流。 。尽管现有的学者研究了吉尼弗雷（Guinevere）在其19世纪来世的丑恶行为，但并未将注意力集中在研究令人烦恼的女性主义，暴力和施虐受虐狂的冲动上，这些冲动有时使她受到这种den毁。
