摘要

摘要:1656年,牧师亚伯拉罕·赖特编辑并印刷了《Parnassus Biceps》,这是一本毫不掩饰的保皇派诗歌杂集。尽管在赖特时代和我们自己的时代都不受关注,但Biceps通过美育项目完成了至关重要的政治工作。这在一定程度上是因为Biceps一再坚持自己的大学血统,并收录了许多“有缺陷的美”诗歌,这些诗歌定位、高度关注和赞扬了一个美丽女性的缺陷。通过这些诗歌,Biceps试图重新确认规范的性别等级制度,并强调男性创造、传播和赋予女性意义的特权。此外,以一个感知到的缺陷为中心并赞扬它,使赖特选集中有缺陷的美诗与保皇党事业本身相似。以保皇主义为主题的意识形态立场联盟不仅承认,而且确实以一个有缺陷的国王和有缺陷的教会为中心。因此,赞美有缺陷的美的诗歌可以被理解为对一个不完美(死去)的国王和一个不完善(被废除)的宗教的辩护。因此,这本看似微不足道的书通过启动一个项目,敦促分散的、失败的保皇党群体继续支持他们有英雄缺陷的事业,完成了紧迫的政治和美学工作。

Flawed Beauty, Flawed Cause: The Political Aesthetics of Parnassus Biceps (1656)
Abstract:In 1656, clergyman Abraham Wright edited and printed Parnassus Biceps, an unabashedly royalist poetic miscellany. Though under the radar in both Wright's day and our own, Biceps performs crucial political work through a program of aesthetic education. This is accomplished in part by Biceps's repeated insistence on its university pedigree and by the inclusion of a number of "flawed beauty" poems, poems that locate, hyperfixate on, and praise a perceived flaw in an otherwise beautiful woman. Through these poems , Biceps attempts to reconfirm the normative gender hierarchy and emphasizes the masculine prerogative to create, circulate, and assign meaning to women. Further, centering and praising a perceived flaw render the flawed beauty poems of Wright's anthology analogous to the royalist cause itself. The coalition of ideological positions grouped under the rubric of royalism not only acknowledged but indeed embraced a flawed king and flawed church at its center. Poems celebrating flawed beauty can thus be assimilated to the defense of an imperfect (dead) king and an imperfect (disestablished) religion. As such, this seemingly trivial volume performs urgent political and aesthetic work by embarking upon the project of urging a scattered, defeated royalist cohort to continue to support their heroically flawed cause.
