摘要

摘要:本文考察了17世纪至19世纪水手的诗歌创作历史。威廉·法尔科纳的《沉船》(1762年、1764年和1769年)激励了许多海员成为诗人，并写下了他们在海上的经历。法尔科纳的影响体现在水手诗人如何描写海上劳动和实践，如印象，以及他们如何表现海洋环境的美丽和威胁。它们也有共同的风格特征，尤其是对船上生活特有的“艺术条件”的强调。水手诗人提供了与大英帝国扩张相关的重要社会文化发展的关键见解，包括对奴隶贸易的恐怖和废奴事业的重要见解。法尔科纳的遗产比人们之前认识到的要深刻得多。

Britannia's "Gallant Crew": Sailor Poets and the Legacy of William Falconer

Abstract:The essay examines the history of poetry written by sailors from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. William Falconer's The Shipwreck (1762, 1764 and 1769) inspired many seamen to turn poet and to write about their experiences at sea. Falconer's influence is seen in how sailor poets write about maritime labor and practices such as impressment and how they represent the beauties and threats of the ocean environment. They also share stylistic features, notably an emphasis on "terms of art" specific to shipboard life. Sailor poets provide key insights into important sociocultural developments related to the expansion of the British empire, including significant insights into the horrors of the slave trade and the cause of abolition. Falconer's legacy is one that is deeper than previously recognized.
