Abstract

Abstract Albeit widely cited, the 1598 engraving known as Elizabeth I as Europa is something of a mystery: little to nothing is known of its authorship or of the circumstances of its production and circulation. Tracing the print's origins to one of Europe's earliest news periodicals, I argue that Elizabeth I as Europa is not about Elizabeth but about Europa—which is to say, about the construction of an early modern public that could understand itself as European. The print participated in this construction in two interrelated ways: as an intervention in Europa Regina cartography, it thematized Europe as a shared (if highly contested) space of discourse that could cut across national, linguistic, and confessional differences; as a piece of transnational reportage meant for broadscale circulation, it helped conjure up the public on which that space of discourse depended.

重读伊丽莎白一世作为欧罗巴

尽管被广泛引用，1598年被称为伊丽莎白一世欧罗巴的雕刻还是一个谜:它的作者或其生产和流通的情况几乎一无所知。从欧洲最早的一份新闻期刊追溯这幅版画的起源，我认为伊丽莎白一世作为欧罗巴不是关于伊丽莎白，而是关于欧罗巴——也就是说，关于早期现代公众的构建，他们可以把自己理解为欧洲人。印刷品以两种相互关联的方式参与了这一建构:作为对欧罗巴王国制图的干预，它将欧洲主题化为一个共享的(如果高度争议的)话语空间，可以跨越国家、语言和忏悔的差异;作为一篇旨在大规模传播的跨国报告文学作品，它帮助唤起了这个话语空间所依赖的公众。
