摘要

这篇文章探讨了爱尔兰诗人兼农学家乔治-威廉-蒂格与珀西-比希-雪莱在比萨的文学交流，前者与玛格丽特-金-蒙特-卡塞尔（别名 "梅森夫人"）住在一起，后者是一位激进的爱尔兰作家，也是玛丽-沃斯通克拉夫特的前学生。1820 年搬到比萨后，雪莱开始每天拜访马森-蒂格家，从蒂格的图书馆中找到了大量有关农业化学和植物学的读物，以及爱尔兰政治和历史方面的书籍。蒂格以前未曾研究过的论文展示了他对爱尔兰和意大利文学、共和主义、植物学和农业的兴趣，并揭示了他与伯明翰月球协会的联系。以雪莱在比萨创作的第一首诗为例，我认为蒂格的农业追求塑造了雪莱在《敏感的植物》中的政治和植物学想象力，并对雪莱后来的诗歌产生了重要影响。

P. B. Shelley, George William Tighe, and the Irish Roots of ‘The Sensitive-Plant’

This essay investigates the literary exchanges between the Irish poet and agronomist George William Tighe and Percy Bysshe Shelley in Pisa, where the former lived with Margaret King Mount Cashell, alias ‘Mrs Mason’, a radical Irish writer and former pupil of Mary Wollstonecraft. After moving to Pisa in 1820, Shelley began daily visits to the Mason-Tighe household, sourcing from Tighe's library a wealth of reading material on agricultural chemistry and botany, alongside Irish political and historical titles. Tighe's previously unexamined papers showcase his interests in Irish and Italian literature, republicanism, botany, and agriculture and reveal his links with the Lunar Society of Birmingham. Taking as a case study the first poem Shelley composed in Pisa, I argue that Tighe's agricultural pursuits shaped Shelley's political and botanical imagination in ‘The Sensitive-Plant’ and exerted a significant influence on Shelley's later poetry as a whole.
