圣巴托罗缪大屠杀与伊丽莎白一世时期英格兰的政治文化

St.Bartholomew's Massacre and Political Culture in Elizabethan England

同处于16世纪席卷全欧洲的宗教改革大潮中,1572年发生于法国的圣巴托罗缪大屠杀具有广泛的国际影响。经由新闻政论、外交通信和难民口述等多种途径,屠杀事件突破了政治边界,迅速传入海峡对岸的英格兰。在伊丽莎白一世时期复杂的宗教与政治局势下,大屠杀在英格兰引发了对法国和天主教的反感与警惕,进一步强化了都铎晚期的反天主教氛围。屠杀事件后,英格兰民众更加关注国家与君主的安全,要求严格处置国内天主教势力、强硬处理对法关系。伊丽莎白政府从现实政治出发的冷静举措,与这一期望并不相符,导致了广泛的不满与批评。

The St.Bartholomew's Massacre in 1572 had a wide international impact.News about the event crossed political boundaries and quickly reached England through types of news,political commentary,diplomatic correspondence and stories from Huguenot refugees.Under the complex religious and political situation of the Elizabethan period,the massacre sparked antipathy and alarm against France and Catholicism in England,reinforcing the anti-Catholic sentiment of the late Tudor period.In the aftermath of the massacre,the English public became more concerned about the security of the state and the monarch,demanded a strict suppression of Catholic forces at home and a tough approach to relations with France.The Elizabethan government's calm reaction to realpolitik did not match this expectation and led to widespread discontent and criticism.
