Abstract

Abstract:In his "Letter to Raleigh," Edmund Spenser describes his project using the strange and provocative term analysis. This essay explores three ways in which the Ramist ideas closely associated with this term can inform our understanding of The Faerie Queene. First, since analysis recalls Ramism's ideal of analytical method, organization of matter in a descent from the most general principles to the more special and obscure, the poem might be approached as an analysis of virtue ethics, with concepts sequenced and divided methodically. Second, the "Letter" excuses out-of-order poetry by the second or imperfect method, crypsis. Spenser's disclaimer about his "method" as poet historical does not necessarily abnegate logic: we may consider that by puzzling, cryptical features we are alerted to a hidden order, so that an analysis of virtue becomes a pleasing analysis. Third, analysis might refer not just to the poet's project but to readerly exercise. In analyzing the virtue-knights' efforts at invention and judgment, we exercise our own. Ramist commentary on these senses of analysis is represented by William Temple, Abraham Fraunce, Gabriel Harvey, and Ramus himself. Readerly analytical exercise is illustrated by the parallel failures of logic of the Redcrosse Knight and Artegall.
《精灵Queene》的快感分析
摘要:Edmund Spenser在他的《致罗利的信》中使用了一个奇怪而富有煽动性的术语分析来描述他的项目。本文探讨了与这个术语密切相关的拉米斯主义思想可以通过三种方式帮助我们理解《精灵奎恩》。首先,由于分析让人想起了拉米斯主义的分析方法理想,即从最普遍的原则到更特殊和更模糊的原则来组织事物,因此这首诗可以被视为对美德伦理的分析,概念被有条不紊地排序和划分。第二,《信笺》以第二种或不完善的方法为无序诗歌开脱,即虚构。斯宾塞关于他作为诗人的“方法”的免责声明并不一定放弃逻辑:我们可以认为,通过令人困惑的、神秘的特征,我们被提醒注意一种隐藏的秩序,因此对美德的分析变成了一种令人愉快的分析。第三,分析可能不仅指诗人的计划,还指阅读练习。在分析美德骑士在发明和判断方面的努力时,我们运用了自己的力量。拉米斯对这些分析意义的评论由威廉·坦普尔、亚伯拉罕·弗朗斯、加布里埃尔·哈维和拉米斯本人代表。雷德克罗斯-奈特和阿尔特格尔逻辑的平行失败说明了Readerly分析练习。
