摘要

The dissertation deals with Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley, Frankenstein, Proserpine (one of her lesser known mythological dramas), and Lodore. I read her texts and writing style against the backdrop of the cotton and wool textile industry in the early part of the Nineteenth Century. I argue that Mary's writing style is a kind of weaving/unweaving, a revision of her contemporary world, particularly the material (female education essays, texts) and tools (embroidery, needlework, chastity) used to produce the "proper lady" or the imagined ideal middle- and upper-class woman. Conspicuously absent from most female educations (except Mary's) is learning Latin and Greek, the languages that many romantic poets---including Byron and P. B. Shelley---concluded were necessary to commune with the much heralded wisdom and mystery of "the antique," precipitating what is now referred to as "romantic hellenism.";Byron's and P. B. Shelley's interest in Latin and Greek texts raises the issue of the myths many romantic poets chose to retell (Prometheus was a favorite) and the impact these modern mythological adaptations had on poetic constructions of gender---"femininity," "the Feminine," the "figure of woman," "lovely muse,"---especially given that the themes of rape, abduction, death and silence of women are pervasive in Greek and Roman mythology. In contrast to Byron and P. B. Shelley, Mary develops her own brand of romantic hellenism which I argue is far more critical of constructions of gender in classical myths. Mary's romantic hellenism weaves/unweaves Greek/Latin myths in a way that politicizes the rapes, abductions, deaths and silences of women, while simultaneously politicizing the Nineteenth-Century "myth" of the proper lady and ideal woman. She creates a new, gynocentric mythology.;Throughout the dissertation, I use metaphors of weaving and textile work alongside classical myths to suggest a reading and writing style that I term "Pandora Aesthetics," which is a reading/writing style based on continuous acts of revision. A Pandora Aesthetics is like "diving into the wreck" as Adrienne Rich does, carrying a "book of myths...in which our names do not appear." Diving into the wreck to make names appear in a new book/text/textere of mythology. I like to think of Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley as a modern Pandora who, in the midst of all these "Prometheuses," manages to transgress into the writing/publishing world and classical education, subverting and transforming the myths of her era, particularly myths told about women.

B. Shelley)相反,玛丽发展了自己的浪漫希腊主义品牌,我认为这对古典神话中的性别建构更为批评。玛丽浪漫的希腊主义编织/编织希腊/拉丁神话,使妇女的强奸,绑架,死亡和沉默政治化,同时政治化十九世纪适当的淑女和理想妇女的“神话”。她创造了一种新的以女性为中心的神话。在整个论文中,我使用编织和纺织作品的隐喻以及古典神话来提出一种我称之为“潘多拉美学”的阅读和写作风格,这是一种基于连续行为的阅读/写作风格。修订。潘多拉美学就像艾德里安·里奇(Adrienne Rich)一样“沉入沉船”,带有“神话之书……其中我们的名字没有出现”。深入研究残骸,使名字出现在神话的新书/文本/文字中。我喜欢认为玛丽·沃尔斯通克拉夫特(Mary Wollstonecraft)戈德温·雪莱(Godwin Shelley)是一位现代的潘多拉,她在所有这些“普罗米修斯”之中,设法闯入写作/出版世界和古典教育,颠覆并改变了她那个时代的神话,尤其是神话传说。关于女人。 (摘要由UMI缩短。)
