ABSTRACT

This study explores the friendship alliances of Anna Maria van Schurman in her archived correspondence with three women scholars – Marie du Moulin, Marie de Gournay, and Dorothy Moore – and two women artists – the portraitist Madame Coutel, and the singer Utricia Ogle. It will argue two main points: firstly, that Van Schurman’s study and valuing of Hebrew were determining factors either in bringing her closer to or in distancing her from a friendship alliance; and, secondly, that each of the women mentioned performed a distinct role in Van Schurman’s strategic search for the most influential male mentors and supporters in the Republic of Letters.

摘要

本研究探讨了 Anna Maria van Schurman 在与三位女学者——玛丽·杜穆兰、玛丽·德·古尔内和多萝西·摩尔——以及两位女艺术家——肖像画家库特尔夫人和歌手尤特里夏·奥格尔的存档通信中的友谊联盟。它将争论两个要点：首先，范舒尔曼对希伯来语的研究和重视是使她更接近或远离友谊联盟的决定因素；其次，提到的每一位女性都在范舒尔曼战略性地寻找文人共和国最有影响力的男性导师和支持者的过程中发挥了独特的作用。
