Abstract

Abstract:In The Countess of Montgomery's Urania, Mary Wroth highlights the familiar likeness-based rivalries that attend friendship. But rather than respond to this tension with physical conflict, the female friends in Wroth's romance lie and deceive in order to circumvent such antagonism. These lies prove to be a novel way to sublimate ugly sentiments in relations as well as a means to expand the range of emotions that a relationship may contain. In depicting this affective expansion, Wroth challenges the romantically inflected social paradigm that valorizes the pursuit of dyadic partnerships and articulates an ethic of friendship that seeks the establishment of larger social networks.

玛丽·沃斯的《乌拉尼亚》中的谎言、逃避和友好网络

摘要:在蒙哥马利伯爵夫人的小说《乌拉尼娅》中，玛丽·沃斯突出了人们熟悉的基于相似的友谊对抗。但在沃斯的浪漫故事中，女性朋友们并没有用肢体冲突来回应这种紧张关系，而是撒谎和欺骗，以规避这种对抗。这些谎言被证明是一种升华关系中丑陋情感的新方式，也是一种扩大关系中可能包含的情感范围的手段。在描述这种情感扩张的过程中，沃斯挑战了浪漫的社会范式，这种范式强调追求二元伙伴关系，并阐明了寻求建立更大社会网络的友谊伦理。
