Abstract
This essay places Edmund Spenser’s View of the Present State of Ireland (1596) into conversation with John Jones’ 1579 nursing manual Arte and Science in order to contextualize Spenser’s medical solution to Irish rebellion. For both, the Irish wetnurse, who controlled the political system of fosterage undermining England’s agenda in Ireland, is central to the corporate identity of a conjoined Anglo-Irish kingdom. A View’s relationship to Jones’ text reveals the vexed ontological landscape of England’s early imperial self-fashioning, which linked the re-engineering of the genetic nature of colonial bodies to the management of women’s reproductive labor.
本文将埃德蒙·斯潘塞(Edmund Spenser)的《爱尔兰现状论》(1596)与约翰·琼斯(John Jones)1579年的护理手册《艺术与科学》(Arte and Science)进行了对话,以期将斯宾塞解决爱尔兰叛乱的医疗方案置于情境中。对双方来说,爱尔兰人控制着破坏英格兰在爱尔兰议程的寄养政治制度,是一个联合的英爱王国企业身份的核心。《观点》与琼斯文本的关系揭示了英国早期帝国自我塑造的棘手本体论景观,该景观将殖民地身体基因性质的重新设计与女性生殖劳动的管理联系起来。
