Abstract

Abstract:This article explores Thomas Traherne's attraction to collaborative and continuously unfolding lyric projects. I argue that Traherne sees unfinished manuscripts as a reflection of the infinite capacity of a human soul, which is itself the signature of a divinity and lovability that does not rely on successful habituation into a life of virtuous conduct. This article was supported by a fellowship from the University of Iowa to consult Traherne's autograph manuscripts at the Bodleian and British Libraries.

爱、能力与特拉赫恩的书观

摘要:本文探讨了托马斯·特拉赫恩对合作和持续展开的抒情项目的吸引力。我认为特拉赫恩认为未完成的手稿反映了人类灵魂的无限能力，这本身就是一种神性和可爱性的标志，它不依赖于成功的习惯，进入一种美德的生活。这篇文章是由爱荷华大学的奖学金资助，以咨询特拉赫恩在博德利和大英图书馆的亲笔手稿。

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.
