摘要

摘要:本文认为,威廉-莎士比亚的《亨利六世2》的四开本和对开本之间的文本差异体现了近代早期英国贵族、中产阶级和下层阶级之间三方意识形态的较量。剧中最著名的场景--描写杰克-凯德叛乱的场景--或许在两个版本中都有出现,但两个文本对起义的描写却大相径庭。1594 年的四开本为我们展现了一个恶毒的凯德,他一心想要摧毁企业、强奸妇女、唾弃善意的贵族;相比之下,1623 年的对开本则为我们展现了一个雄辩的凯德,尽管他并不完美,但他的不满情绪有理有据、有理有据、有理有据。在这一时期,政治和经济权力不断从贵族向中产阶级转移,虽然卡德的叛乱从四开本到对开本的不同似乎表明了对叛乱者的支持,但这些变化所代表的是意识形态权力从贵族向上层平民转移的开始。对贵族来说,起义军是暴乱者,意图制造混乱。对中产阶级来说,给他们贴上正义抗议者的标签更有利,因为叛乱可能会消除中产阶级的直接竞争对手--贵族。因此,莎士比亚《亨利六世二世》的两个权威文本可以帮助我们理解这一时期对民众暴乱和抗议的看法的变化,以及它们与主流和新兴阶级意识形态之间的联系。

Making Commotion: Riot and Protest in the Texts of 2 Henry VI

Abstract:

This essay argues that the textual differences between the quarto and folio versions of William Shakespeare’s 2 Henry VI evince the three-way ideological contestation between the aristocracy, the middling sort, and the lower classes in early modern England. Perhaps the most famous scenes from the play, those depicting Jack Cade’s rebellion, exist in both versions, but the portrayal of the uprising is very different between the two texts. The 1594 quarto gives us a vicious Cade intent on destroying businesses, raping women, and spurning well-meaning nobles; the 1623 folio version, by contrast, gives us an eloquent if imperfect Cade whose grievances are justified, reasoned, and well articulated. Political and economic power was steadily shifting during this period from the aristocracy to the middling sort, and, although the differences in Cade’s rebellion from the quarto to the folio might seem to indicate a revision in favor of the rebels, what the changes represent is the beginning of the transfer of ideological power from the aristocracy to upper-class commoners. To the nobility, the rebels are rioters, intent on causing chaos. For the middling sort, it was more advantageous to label them justified protesters, as the rebellion might remove the middling sort’s direct competition—the aristocracy. Thus, the two authoritative texts of Shakespeare’s 2 Henry VI can help us understand changing perceptions of popular riot and protest in the period and their connection to dominant and emerging class ideologies.
