摘要

摘要本文考察了伊丽莎白·安森夫人(1725-60)的一生,她是哈德威克第一代伯爵菲利普·约克的女儿,也是海军上将乔治·安森勋爵的妻子。本文以她的信件为例,论证了安森夫人将写信作为一种内在的政治活动。先前对安森夫人通信的研究强调了她在约克家族政治网络中的作用,但本文强调了她与安森勋爵的婚姻以及她在海军的生活。在一段由海军服役压力塑造的婚姻中,安森夫人利用自己写信的天赋,确立了自己作为丈夫政治伙伴的角色。本文以伊莱恩·查勒斯、朱迪思·刘易斯和莎拉·理查森的作品为基础,探讨了安森夫人利用信件传播情报和谈判赞助的方式。书中探讨了她与强大的海军部部长约翰·克利夫兰(John Cleveland)的友谊,并思考了她与海军部办公室的地理位置接近如何使她有特权进入皇家海军的内部工作。因此,她的作品为精英女性如何利用信件建立自己的政治权威提供了重要的见解。

Proximity, Patronage and Politics in the Correspondence of Lady Elizabeth Anson, c. 1748–1760
Abstract This article examines the life of Lady Elizabeth Anson (1725–60), daughter of Philip Yorke, 1st earl of Hardwicke, and the wife of Admiral George Lord Anson, first lord of the admiralty. Using a sample of her letters, this article argues that Lady Anson engaged with letter-writing as an inherently political activity. Previous studies of Lady Anson’s correspondence have emphasized her role in the Yorkes’ political network, but this article foregrounds her marriage to Lord Anson and her life at the admiralty. In a marriage shaped by the strains of naval service, Lady Anson used her talents as a letter-writer to establish a role for herself as her husband’s political partner. Building on the work of Elaine Chalus, Judith Lewis, and Sarah Richardson, this article explores the ways in which Lady Anson used letters to disseminate intelligence and negotiate patronage. It examines her friendship with the powerful admiralty secretary, John Cleveland, and considers the ways in which her physical proximity to the admiralty office gave her privileged access to the inner workings of the Royal Navy. Consequently, her writing provides important insights into the ways in which elite women could use letters to establish their own political authority.
