Abstract

Abstract:This article argues that The Spanish Tragedy's treatment of grief is inspired by classical forensic rhetoric, the guidelines for which demand the self-inculcation of emotion in the service of persuasion. Of particular interest is book 6 of Quintilian's The Orator's Education, which presents paternal grief for a dead son as a topos for imitation and inspiration, along with a number of courtroom practices that shape Thomas Kyd's presentation of Hieronimo. I suggest that Kyd drew on Quintilian in order to authorize his play, in part by positioning it as the rightful inheritor of the classical tradition accessed through the emotions.

昆提连的法医悲痛与西班牙悲剧

摘要:本文认为《西班牙悲剧》对悲伤的处理受到了古典法医修辞学的启发，其指导原则要求在说服服务中自我灌输情感。特别有趣的是昆提连的《演说家的教育》第6卷，书中把父亲对死去儿子的悲痛作为模仿和灵感的主题，以及一些法庭实践，这些实践塑造了托马斯·基德对希罗尼莫的介绍。我认为基德借鉴昆提利安是为了授权他的戏剧，部分原因是将其定位为通过情感获得的古典传统的合法继承者。
