摘要

在16世纪之交,约翰·斯凯尔顿给英国文学经典留下了一笔奇怪的遗产:一种以短行和长韵为特征的诗歌形式。这种形式上的创新,一种紧密的押韵,现在被称为“Skeltonic”,几个世纪以来一直困扰着Skelton的对话者,使他在文学史上成为一个有限的人物。但是,如果斯克尔顿是一个特例,那么斯克尔顿在英语文学经典中并不孤单。美国嘻哈音乐是当今最具创新精神、商业上最成功、也最具争议的诗歌形式之一,它的风格和气质在很多方面都继承了斯凯尔顿的遗风。Hip-hop,就像Skeltonic一样,需要自身语境的解释力量,然而,它对押韵的非凡、持久、历史上不和谐的承诺表明,它与Skelton的诗歌有着惊人的形式平行,它提供了对表演诗学和紧密押韵的矛盾政治的超越历史的洞察力。

Rude Railing Rhymers: Reading Close Rhyme in Skeltonic Verse and Hip-Hop
Abstract At the turn of the sixteenth century, John Skelton left a strange legacy to the English literary canon: a verse form characterized solely by short lines and long rhyme sequences. This formal innovation, a species of close rhyme now called “the Skeltonic,” has puzzled Skelton's interlocutors for centuries, leaving him a liminal figure within literary history. But if Skelton was an anomaly, the Skeltonic does not stand alone within the English-language literary canon. American hip-hop, one of the most formally innovative, commercially successful, and contentious poetic forms of our day, foregrounds a style and ethos that in many ways picks up where Skelton left off. Hip-hop, like the Skeltonic, requires the explanatory force of its own context, and yet its remarkable, persistent, historically dissonant commitment to rhyme suggests a striking formal parallel with Skelton's verse, one that offers transhistorical insight into the performative poetics and paradoxical politics of close rhyme.
