ABSTRACT

This article proposes a queer (re)reading of Jean de Beaubreuil’s Roman tragedy Regulus ([1582] 1999). The study begins with an exploration of the author’s trip to Rome and his visit with Marc-Antoine Muret, a renowned humanist who fled France in 1554 due to charges of heresy and sodomy. It then reads queerly two key passages from the play to suggest that the tragedy’s most strikingly queer elements include the intimate friendship formed between the main dramatis personae (Atilie and Manlie), their ritual of unity before battle that resembles a clandestine marriage ceremony, the mythological and historical references evoked during this ritual, and the replacement of Regulus’s legendary wife and children with Manlie. The article concludes with an analysis of the tensions between the hero’s public persona (Regulus) and private identity (Atilie), which invites the reader to reconsider the modalities of male–male amity in sixteenth-century France.

摘要

这篇文章提议对让·德·博布勒伊 (Jean de Beaubreuil) 的罗马悲剧雷古勒 ( Regulus ) 进行古怪的（重新）阅读([1582] 1999)。该研究首先探讨了作者的罗马之行以及他与著名人文主义者马克-安托万·穆雷 (Marc-Antoine Muret) 的访问，后者因异端和鸡奸罪于 1554 年逃离法国。然后它奇怪地朗读了剧中的两个关键段落，表明悲剧最引人注目的奇怪元素包括主要剧作家（Atilie 和 Manlie）之间形成的亲密友谊，他们在战斗前的团结仪式类似于秘密结婚仪式，神话故事和在这个仪式中唤起的历史参考，以及用曼利取代雷古勒斯传奇的妻子和孩子。文章最后分析了英雄的公众形象（Regulus）和私人身份（Atilie）之间的紧张关系，
