Lies, Evasions, and Friendly Networks in Mary Wroth's Urania
Abstract:In The Countess of Montgomery's Urania, Mary Wroth highlights the familiar likeness-based rivalries that attend friendship. But rather than respond to this tension with physical conflict, the female friends in Wroth's romance lie and deceive in order to circumvent such antagonism. These lies prove to be a novel way to sublimate ugly sentiments in relations as well as a means to expand the range of emotions that a relationship may contain. In depicting this affective expansion, Wroth challenges the romantically inflected social paradigm that valorizes the pursuit of dyadic partnerships and articulates an ethic of friendship that seeks the establishment of larger social networks.
期刊介绍:
SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
