摘要

摘要:本文将矫饰主义的蛇形人物与弥尔顿《失乐园》中的蛇形人物联系起来。《蛇形图》以扭曲的、向上螺旋的姿态描绘人的形体，通过动态的物理现实主义来传达人的道德和精神成长。我认为弥尔顿利用蛇形的比喻，是为了发展一种诗学，将徘徊扭曲的人物与创造和学习之间的辩证法联系起来，通过这种辩证法，人类和被创造的世界上升到存在的链条上，逐渐变得完美。这种形状——通过徘徊、错误、转弯和其他蛇形短语的语言表现出来——构成了前堕落时代本体论和知识的定义形状。

The Figura Serpentinata in Paradise Lost

Abstract:This essay links the Mannerist figura serpentinata to the figure of the serpent in John Milton's Paradise Lost. The figura serpentinata depicts human forms in twisting, upwardly spiraling poses in order to convey man's moral and spiritual growth through dynamic physical realism. I argue that Milton draws on the figura serpentinata in order to develop a poetics of becoming that links wandering, twisting figures to the dialectic between creation and learning through which humans and the created world ascend up the great chain of being as they gradually increase in perfection. This shape—figured through the language of wandering, error, turning, and other serpentine phrases—constitutes nothing less than the defining shape of prelapsarian ontology and knowledge.

期刊介绍： Founded in 1903, Studies in Philology addresses scholars in a wide range of disciplines, though traditionally its strength has been English Medieval and Renaissance studies. SIP publishes articles on British literature before 1900 and on relations between British literature and works in the Classical, Romance, and Germanic Languages.
