Abstract

Abstract:This article takes Laurence Sterne and David Hume as two extreme cases of how writers think, feel, and write about the figure and concept of entanglement in the late Enlightenment. The late Enlightenment was an era defined, or so I claim, by an intense investment in and anxiety over relations—among people, objects, ideas, systems, and events. More than any other figure, entanglement registers that simultaneous interest in and aversion to connections. Reading between Sterne—an arch-entangler—and Hume—an arch-separator—we see not only an old trope suddenly taking on new meaning, but also a fraught transition from the Enlightenment to Romanticism.

“不可理解的情境”:劳伦斯·斯特恩和大卫·休谟论纠缠

摘要:本文以劳伦斯·斯特恩和大卫·休谟为例，探讨了启蒙运动后期作家对“纠缠”这一概念的思考、感受和写作方式。我认为，启蒙运动晚期是一个对人际关系的强烈投入和焦虑所定义的时代——人际关系包括人、物、思想、制度和事件。纠缠比其他任何数字都更能显示出对联系的兴趣和厌恶。在斯特恩和休谟之间，我们不仅看到了一个古老的比喻突然有了新的含义，而且看到了一个从启蒙运动到浪漫主义的令人担忧的转变。

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.
