Abstract

Abstract:This article is a study of the comic role of bodily openings in The Alchemist. Previous scholarship on social mastery and embodiment in Ben Jonson remains focused on the excretory explosiveness of Jonson's comic bodies, while far less critical attention has been paid to the play's orificial blockages. Indeed, a study of the play's comically blocked bodily passageways complicates a prevailing critical consensus regarding Jonson's use of the orifice as a site of disciplinary subordination. This study extends the methodologies of new philology to shed a different light on the constitutive relationship between corporeality and language in Jonson's tightly constructed orificial play.

本·约翰逊的《东方喜剧》

摘要:本文对《炼金术士》中身体开口的喜剧作用进行了研究。先前关于本·约翰逊的社会掌握和体现的学术研究仍然集中在约翰逊喜剧身体的排泄爆发力上，而对该剧的口部障碍的关注要少得多。事实上，对剧中滑稽地堵塞身体通道的研究，使一种普遍的批评共识复杂化，即约翰逊将孔口用作纪律从属的场所。本研究扩展了新文字学的方法论，以揭示琼生严密建构的口型戏剧中形体与语言之间的构成关系。

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.
