페미니스트 형식주의: 근대 초기 영국 여성 예언문학의 미래 = Feminist Formalism: A Future of Women’ s Prophetic Literature in Early Modern England

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper outlines and assesses recent criticism calling for formalist approaches to early modern British women ’ s writing. In doing so, this paper proposes to read women ’ s prophecy through feminist formalism, a research methodology that combines historicist and formalist approaches centering on feminist insight, in order not only to improve a marked tendency to avoid studying women ’ s religious writings in a formalist vein, but also to help resolve the critical disjunction between the study of early modern British women ’ s literature and canonical literature in a creative way. This paper suggests that studying prophetic forms in a integrated literary history that encompasses mainstream and non-mainstream prophetic literature contributes to promote an academic dialogue between the study of noncanonical women writers and canonical male author scholarship. It can bring in new perspectives on the writings of canonical male authors in the context of the broader field of early modern culture beyond merely including women ’ s literature into the canon. It also hopes to provide a case study of investigating Milton and female prophets from an integrative perspective, which shows that analyzing women ’ s writings in relation to the broader literary canon enriches the study of early modern women writers and canonical literature.
