Abstract

This article puts on trial the assumed authorship of a sixteenth-century manuscript poem reminiscent of Ovid’s Heroides, currently ascribed to Lady Elizabeth Dacre. After establishing a revised edition of the text, it provides arguments based on historical, material, literary and textual analyses of the source, strongly indicating the unlikeliness of its supposed attribution to this English noblewoman. The arguments suggest that, while Dacre was probably the scribe of the manuscript, the author of the text was most likely her husband, Sir Thomas Dacre. This outcome is used as an example evincing the fundamental importance of usable and informative text editions for historians and literary scholars alike, increasingly calling for close collaboration across disciplines, as well as a renewed appreciation of textual editing.

重温被误认为是伊丽莎白-达克尔创作的十六世纪 "情色 "诗歌
这篇文章对一首十六世纪手稿诗歌的假定作者进行了考证,这首诗歌让人联想到奥维德的《英雄传》,目前被认为是伊丽莎白-达克尔夫人所作。在确定了文本的修订版之后,它根据对来源的历史、材料、文学和文本分析提出了论据,有力地说明了将其归于这位英国贵族女士的可能性不大。这些论据表明,虽然达克尔可能是手稿的抄写员,但文本的作者很可能是她的丈夫托马斯-达克尔爵士。这一成果被用作一个例子,证明了对历史学家和文学学者来说,可用且信息丰富的文本版本具有根本性的重要意义,越来越需要跨学科的密切合作,以及对文本编辑的重新认识。
