摘要

这篇文章首次确定了“孤独的古董”,夏洛特·史密斯在她的诗比奇岬中提到,詹姆斯·道格拉斯牧师,早期最重要和最有趣的考古学作家之一。我的观点是,道格拉斯关于地层学、化石和英国最早居民文化的具体发现和理论,不仅为史密斯的诗歌提供了历史和古物背景,而且他的诗学的变革性质也为她的作品提供了信息。道格拉斯和史密斯都特别关注事实与幻想、瓦砾与光环、怀疑与信仰之间的关系。我认为,道格拉斯挖掘和史密斯沉思的古墓,是浪漫主义考古想象力发展的重要场所,因此,代表了对新物质浪漫主义批判转向的暗示性贡献。

Beachy Head, Ancient Barrows and the ‘Alembic’ of Romantic Archaeological Poetics
This article identifies for the first time the ‘lone antiquary’, which Charlotte Smith refers to in her poem Beachy Head, as Rev. James Douglas, one of the most significant and interesting early archaeological writers. My contention is that not only do Douglas’s specific findings and theories about stratigraphy, fossilisation and the culture of Britain’s earliest inhabitants contribute to the historical, antiquarian background to Smith’s poem but also that the transformative nature of his poetics informs her work. In particular, both Douglas and Smith are concerned with the relationships between facts and fancy, rubble and aura, scepticism and belief. I argue that the barrows, which Douglas excavated and upon which Smith mused, were an important site for the development of the Romantic archaeological imagination and, as such, represent a suggestive contribution to the new Material Romanticism critical turn.

期刊介绍: The most distinguished scholarly journal of its kind edited and published in Britain, Romanticism offers a forum for the flourishing diversity of Romantic studies today. Focusing on the period 1750-1850, it publishes critical, historical, textual and bibliographical essays prepared to the highest scholarly standards, reflecting the full range of current methodological and theoretical debate. With an extensive reviews section, Romanticism constitutes a vital international arena for scholarly debate in this liveliest field of literary studies.
