摘要
This article explores the relationship between gender and history in Nicolas de Montreux's historical tragedy La Sophonisbe (1601), specifically how the drama uses the historical female figure of Sophonisbe to negotiate what it means to take part in history. By engaging Walter Benjamin's notion of the chaste martyr and her affinities with history in the German Trauerspiel, the article draws novel attention to historico-philosophical elements in Montreux's drama and begins an analytical exploration of the often noticed but unexplored question in modern scholarship of gender in French humanist drama.
