Abstract:

Women played a vital role within mercantile communities in sixteenth-century London as social, cultural and economic agents, but there is comparatively little archival material relating to these activities in comparison with their male counterparts, and as they were seldom able to actively participate in trade, the nuances of their activity are easily overlooked. Using the 1610 diary of Rose Lok Hickman Throckmorton as a case study, this article will examine her role within her community and the ways in which she both exerted and subverted agency, interrogating the text’s preoccupations with questions of trade, faith, and gender.

“潜水员前往遥远国家的航行”：罗斯·斯罗克莫顿日记中的代理机构

摘要：

女性作为社会、文化和经济主体，在 16 世纪伦敦的商业社区中发挥着至关重要的作用，但与男性同行相比，与这些活动相关的档案材料相对较少，而且她们很少能够积极参与贸易，他们活动的细微差别很容易被忽视。本文以 Rose Lok Hickman Throckmorton 1610 年的日记为案例研究，探讨她在社区中的角色，以及她发挥和颠覆作用的方式，质疑文本中对贸易、信仰和性别问题的关注。
