Abstract

While Harrington is best known as a political writer, he began his career as a poet. Chapter 8 argues that he never gave up his literary interests, that his political and literary writings were intertwined, and that his substantive arguments were reflected in the vocabulary and form of his works. Harrington coined new words or adapted old ones to reflect the revolutionary changes of the time. Both his hybrid constitutional vocabulary and Oceana’s composite form can be read as an embodiment of the combination of ancient, English, and modern practices that made up his system, and as a reflection of the idea that his model constitution would reconcile royalists and parliamentarians. Concerned that people find it difficult to understand written constitutional models, Harrington experimented with fiction, dialogue, and visualization to spark his audience’s imagination so that they could ‘experience’, and therefore come to understand and appreciate, his political model.
风格创新
虽然哈林顿最为人所知的身份是政治作家,但他的职业生涯始于诗人。第八章认为他从未放弃过他的文学兴趣,他的政治和文学作品是交织在一起的,他的实质性论点反映在他作品的词汇和形式中。哈林顿创造新词或改编旧词来反映时代的革命性变化。他的混合宪法词汇和奥西阿纳的复合形式都可以被解读为构成他的体系的古代、英国和现代实践的结合,也反映了他的模范宪法将使保皇派和议会派达成和解的想法。考虑到人们很难理解书面的宪法模式,哈林顿尝试用小说、对话和可视化来激发读者的想象力,这样他们就可以“体验”,从而理解和欣赏他的政治模式。
