Abstract

Abstract:George Herbert's poetic experiments are guided in part by a desire to influence how the early modern English ate. This article demonstrates that Herbert's verse collection The Temple is shaped by his responsibility as a rural parish priest for ensuring that his community was fed not just spiritually but also physically: as a country parson, he was tasked with collecting agricultural tithes and redistributing them to the hungry. Writing in a time of severe food insecurity, Herbert draws on a vast variety of poetic methods, from metrical sentences to verse emblems to hymns, in order to persuade his readers to join him in addressing the crisis of hunger that early modern England was facing through collectively restricting their consumption.

乔治·赫伯特《神庙》中伦理饮食的诗学

摘要:乔治·赫伯特的诗歌实验在一定程度上受到影响早期现代英国人饮食方式的愿望的指导。这篇文章表明，赫伯特的诗歌集《圣殿》是由他作为一个农村教区牧师的责任所塑造的，他要确保他的社区不仅在精神上而且在物质上得到满足:作为一个乡村牧师，他的任务是收集农业的什一税，并将其重新分配给饥饿的人。在一个严重的粮食不安全的时代，赫伯特利用了各种各样的诗歌方法，从格律句到诗歌象征到赞美诗，为了说服他的读者加入他，通过集体限制消费来解决早期现代英国面临的饥饿危机。
