Abstract:

Stephen Hawes’s fusion of chivalric romance and personification allegory has long been recognized as his chief claim to originality in English literary history. The generic fusions of his work, however, have often led him to be viewed merely as a distant precursor to Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queene rather than as an innovative poet in his own right. This article resituates Hawes’s poetic originality in its early Tudor contexts and brings his poetry back into conversation with the metrical romances, devotional treatises, and dreams of spiritual warfare that shaped his creative aspirations.

“梅恩拥有的冒险”：斯蒂芬·霍斯和中世纪浪漫史

摘要：

斯蒂芬·霍斯（Stephen Hawes）将侠义浪漫主义和拟人化寓言相融合，长期以来一直被认为是他对英国文学史上独创性的主要主张。然而，他作品的一般融合常常使他仅被视为埃德蒙·史宾瑟《仙灵》的遥远前身，而不是他本人的创新诗人。本文以霍斯在都铎王朝的早期情境中的诗意原创性为背景，并将他的诗歌重新带入与格罗斯式的浪漫，虔诚的论着和精神战的梦想相关的对话中，从而塑造了他的创作志向。
