Abstract

Abstract:This article uses Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew as a case study to demonstrate how an early modern English discourse of benevolent domestic rule, evinced in horsemanship manuals, pedagogical treatises, and books of household governance, works to maintain the hierarchical status quo, even as it ostensibly critiques tyranny in domestic mastery. I argue that the play draws on detailed debates within horsemanship to cast Petruchio as a horse courser swindling the other gentlemen in the drama via Katharina's performance. In so doing, it encourages disinterest in the possibility of Katharina's resistance to or participation in Petruchio's scheme.

《驯悍记》中的统治批判与等级维护

摘要:本文以莎士比亚的《驯悍记》为例，展示了早期现代英语中仁慈的家庭统治话语是如何在马术手册、教学论文和家庭治理书籍中体现出来的，尽管它表面上批评家庭统治中的暴政，但它如何维持等级制度的现状。我认为这出戏借鉴了马术方面的详细辩论，让彼特鲁乔扮演一个骑马的人，通过卡塔琳娜的表演来欺骗戏剧中的其他绅士。这样一来，人们就对卡塔琳娜是否会反对或参与彼特鲁乔的计划不感兴趣了。

期刊介绍： SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
