Abstract
Few exercises illustrate the shattering of imperial aristocratic confidence brought on by the scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries so well as a comparison between Garcilaso de la Vega’s eclogues, and the sonnet “A una muger que se afeitaba y estaba hermosa,” attributed to one of the Argensola brothers, usually Lupercio. Taken together these two works reveal clearly the trust in a vision of a well-ordered cosmos that unified Garcilaso’s world, and the extent to which the Baroque aesthetic reflects a cosmic vision founded on ideas of deceit and deception. Two Italians, Castiglione and Galileo, play important roles in this transition and this study seeks also to illuminate their influence on the course of Spanish poetry in the Siglo de Oro. Until the last two decades of the twentieth century many Garcilaso interpreters read his works, especially the eclogues, as poemes a clef, autobiography disguised in pastoral dress. Most recently this problem, which is also one of “sincerity,” has been discussed clearly and thoroughly by Daniel Heiple, who locates the poetic yo in a Petrarchan rhetoric of emotion rather than in the person of the poet (3-27). In spite of dedicating his attention primarily to Garcilaso’s sonnets, Heiple observes of the eclogues, “Garcilaso’s late poems show a self-awareness of style and a conscious distancing of the authorial voice . . . the poet consciously removes the poetic voice from the person who suffers to that of a disinterested narrator” (23).
很少有研究能像加尔西拉索·德拉维加(Garcilaso de la Vega)的牧歌和十四行诗《a una muger que se afeitaba y estaba hermosa》(被认为是阿根索拉兄弟之一,通常是卢珀西奥)之间的比较那样,说明16世纪和17世纪的科学革命所带来的帝国贵族信心的破灭。把这两件作品放在一起,清楚地揭示了对一个有序的宇宙的信任,这个宇宙统一了加尔西拉索的世界,以及巴洛克美学在多大程度上反映了建立在欺骗和欺骗思想基础上的宇宙视野。两个意大利人,Castiglione和Galileo,在这一转变中发挥了重要作用,本研究也试图阐明他们对Siglo de Oro西班牙诗歌进程的影响。直到二十世纪的最后二十年,许多加尔西拉索的诠释者读他的作品,尤其是牧歌,作为诗歌,谱曲,自传伪装在田园服装。最近,丹尼尔·海普尔(Daniel heple)清楚而透彻地讨论了这个问题,这也是“真诚”的问题之一,他将诗意的yo定位于彼特拉克式的情感修辞,而不是诗人本人(3-27)。尽管他的注意力主要集中在加尔西拉索的十四行诗上,但海普尔观察到牧歌,“加尔西拉索的晚期诗歌表现出对风格的自我意识和对作者声音的有意识的疏远……诗人有意识地把受苦的人的诗意的声音移开,变成一个无私的叙述者的声音”(23)。
