摘要

以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要:审稿人: Fair Copy:Jennifer Putzi 著,温迪-拉斐尔-罗伯茨(Wendy Raphael Roberts)(简历) Fair Copy:Jennifer Putzi 宾夕法尼亚大学出版社,2021 年,272 页。珍妮弗-普齐的《公平复制》:关系诗学与前美国女性诗歌》通过对女性印刷诗歌的创作、出版和流传的深入研究,提出了影响深远的关系诗学理论和方法,并将其视为激进的恢复。普齐在这一总体框架和大量档案工作的精确性之间优雅灵活地游走,对女性参与印刷及其各种网络和关系进行了引人入胜的叙述--这个故事之所以不为人知,部分原因是对十九世纪女性作者的研究主要集中于散文,部分原因是学术界对原创性和个性的强调。普齐对她所称的 "不引人注目的诗歌"--旨在模仿而非发明的诗歌--进行了阐述,这些诗歌是女诗人在特定的性别、阶级和 [完 第 196 页] 种族背景下与作者身份进行谈判时创作的,这是对美国诗歌研究的杰出贡献。普齐加入了克劳迪娅-斯托克斯(Claudia Stokes)、威廉-亨廷-豪威尔(William Huntting Howell)、埃兹拉-塔维尔(Ezra Tawil)、亚历山德拉-索卡里德斯(Alexandra Socarides)、凯里-拉尔森(Kerry Larson)、伊丽莎-理查兹(Eliza Richards)和科林-威尔斯(Colin Wells)等学者的行列,这些学者加深了我们对十九世纪诗歌文化的理解,认为这种文化深深地融入了模仿之中。她以迈克尔-温希普(Michael Winship)、梅雷迪斯-麦吉尔(Meredith McGill)和莱昂-杰克逊(Leon Jackson)等书籍史学者所做的变革性工作,以及弗吉尼亚-杰克逊(Virginia Jackson)关于抒情诗升华社会中介的理论为基础,构建了她的 "关系诗学"(relational poetics)概念(12)。关系诗学首先是一种塑造了前贝鲁姆时期女诗人的理论,其次是普齐从这一档案中衍生出的一种学术方法论。其核心是强调 "在诗歌本身、女诗人获取印刷品的途径以及她们的诗歌在各种印刷品文化语境中发挥作用的方式中......模仿、社区和合作"(1)。普齐从十九世纪女诗人的形象转向女诗人在特定社区中的真实劳动,然后从诗歌本身出发,灵活地展示了如何将这些诗歌解读为与作者身份、印刷和受众参与等各种障碍的谈判。Fair Copy》从无处不在的诗人莉迪亚-亨特利-西格尼(Lydia Huntley Sigourney)开始,确立了关系诗学的普遍性,然后将四位读者较少的诗人和诗歌社群作为试验案例,"展示了这种重新构建批评视角的激进潜力"(17)。从 "美国的[菲利希亚]海曼斯 "西格尼开始,普齐描述了文学原创主义和民族主义是如何支持和反对西格尼一贯的重复、循环和听众参与的。本章的一大亮点是普齐如何追溯《婴儿之死》被误认为是西格尼所作,以强调诗歌每次离散出现时 "诗歌作者身份的持续性和创造性表现",以及读者在这种质疑中获得的持续性乐趣(43)。在这种文学民族主义的背景下建立西格妮的关系诗学,将作者身份和抒情诗人的浪漫概念假设剥离出来,为本书开始多管齐下地研究其他女诗人的创作、出版和流传提供了动力。本书第 2 章介绍了一个为研究工人阶级女性的学者所熟知的诗歌群体,即波士顿制造公司的磨坊女工们,她们在 1840 年至 1845 年间出版了 [End Page 197] 《洛威尔报价》。普齐认为,以前对这些工人阶级诗人的评价仅仅是把他们当作向往高雅和文艺的模仿者,这对他们是一种严重的伤害,因为这种评价没有考虑到这些诗人已经敏锐地意识到了这些批评。相反,献诗诗人将他们的模仿实践穿在了自己的袖子上,"声称读诗和写诗都是一种无阶级的活动"(62)。献诗诗人将家庭会客厅的诗歌实践搬到了工厂空间--在墙壁和机器上剪贴、粘贴和剪贴诗歌,并将其内化为自己的诗歌;或者,正如 Putzi 所写,"将报纸'诗人角'的概念文字化"(72)。通过...

Jennifer Putzi's Fair Copy: Relational Poetics and Antebellum American Women's Poetry expertly engages the composition, publication, and circulation of women's printed poetry to produce a far-reaching theory and methodology of relational poetics as radical recovery. Moving with graceful nimbleness between this overarching framework and a precision born of copious archival work, Putzi offers a compelling narrative of women's engagement with print and its various networks and relations—a story unknown in part because studies of nineteenth-century women's authorship have primarily focused on prose and in part because of a scholarly emphasis on originality and individuality. Putzi's account of what she calls "unremarkable poetry"—that which aims at imitation rather than invention—produced by women poets in their particular gendered, classed, and [End Page 196] raced negotiations with authorship is a remarkable contribution to the study of American poetry.

Putzi joins a company of scholars such as Claudia Stokes, William Huntting Howell, Ezra Tawil, Alexandra Socarides, Kerry Larson, Eliza Richards, and Colin Wells who add to our understanding of nineteenth-century poetic culture as one that was deeply invested in imitation. She builds on the transformative work done by book history scholars, including Michael Winship, Meredith McGill, and Leon Jackson, as well as Virginia Jackson's theory that the lyric sublimates social mediations, to construct her concept of "relational poetics" (12). Relational poetics is first a theory that shaped antebellum women poets and second a scholarly methodology Putzi employs that arises from this archive. At its core it emphasizes "imitation, community, and collaboration … in poems themselves, in the avenues women poets take to gain access to print, and in the way their poems function within a variety of print cultural contexts" (1). Putzi turns from the figure of the nineteenth-century woman poet to the real labor of women poets within particular communities and then, taking her cues from the poems themselves, nimbly demonstrates how to read such poems as negotiations with various encumberments to authorship, print, and audience engagement.

Fair Copy begins with the ubiquitous poet, Lydia Huntley Sigourney, to establish the prevalence of relational poetics and then moves to four less read poets and poetic communities as test cases "to demonstrate the radical potential of this reframing of the critical lens" (17). Starting with Sigourney, the "American [Felicia] Hemans," allows Putzi to describe the ways that literary originalism and nationalism worked for and against Sigourney's consistent embrace of repetition, cyclicality, and audience engagement. One highlight of the chapter is how Putzi traces the misattribution of "Death of an Infant" to Sigourney in order to underscore the "continual and creative performance of poetic authorship" in each discrete appearance of the poem, as well as the sustaining pleasures her readers took in such questions (43). Establishing Sigourney's relational poetics against this backdrop of literary nationalism peels back the assumption of romantic conceptions of authorship as well as of the lyric poet, which then provides the momentum for the book to begin a multipronged foray into the composition, publication, and circulation of other women poets.

A poetic community well-known to scholars invested in working-class women, the mill girls of the Boston Manufacturing Company who published [End Page 197] the Lowell Offering between 1840 and 1845, comprises chapter 2. Putzi argues that previous assessments of these working-class poets as simply imitators aspiring to gentility and literariness does them a grave disservice, as it does not take into account that the poets were keenly aware of such criticisms already. Rather, the Offering poets wore their imitative practices on their sleeves and "claimed both the reading and the writing of poetry as a classless activity" (62). Offering poets transferred poetic practices of the domestic parlor to the space of the factory—clipping, pasting, and scrap-booking poetry onto the walls and machinery and internalizing it as their own; or, as Putzi writes, "literalizing the notion of the newspaper's 'poet's corner'" (72).
