About the Lab

Professor Young-jin Jung's research lab specializes in early modern British literature, with a focus on gender, authorship, and the material culture of writing. The lab explores women's literary production in the 17th century, particularly through autobiographical and devotional texts, examining how gender, religion, and textual form intersect. It also investigates the historical and critical dimensions of manuscript culture, print history, and the reclamation of women’s intellectual labor in literary studies. The lab emphasizes feminist literary criticism and the digital reactivation of early modern women’s writings.

Dynamic Analysis of the Ampelmann G25 Gangway.
Youngjin Chung
Research Repository (Delft University of Technology)OA

The Ampelmann system is an active motion compensation system that can compensate the vessel motions in six degrees of freedom. The Ampelmann, together with the attached gangway, makes it possible for people to transfer between a vessel and offshore structures safely. The Ampelmann system has been designed in the early stages based on a set of static load cases. For design and analysis related to fatigue life estimation, system operability and control improvements, it is necessary to obtain more

여성의 글/쓰기, 생산과 재생산- 근세 시대 영국을 중심으로
정영진

이 글은 여성 문학사에서 지속되어 온 문제—시야에서 사라진 여성의 글/쓰기를 어떻게 가시화할 것인가, 여성의 지적인 노동을 여성주의 관점에서 어떻게 조명할 것인가—를 논의의 대상으로 삼는다. 남성 중심의 문학 정전에서 여성이 오랫동안 배제되었다는 인식은 이미 널리 공유되고 있으며, 여성의 잃어버린 문학적 유산을 회복하는 일이 비단 근세 시대 문학이나 영국 문학에 국한된 문제도 아니다. 그러나 근세 시대 영국 여성의 글/쓰기는 텍스트와 문맥의 관계, 생산과 수용 및 재생산의 관계, 젠더와 장르의 관계, 여성의 삶, 관점, 저술을 형성하는 역사적 특성들, 초기 출판문화와 현대 디지털 재생산 시대에서 필사본의 위치, 변화하는 저자성, 권위, 장르의 개념 등 여성주의 비평가들이 고심하는 대표적 문제를 점검할 수 있는 유의미한 현장을 제공한다. 이러한 문제에 대해 답하려는 노력으로 이 글은 먼저 기존 문학 비평에서 여전히 잘 포착되지 않은 근세 시대 영국 여성의 글/쓰기 속성을 살펴본다. 이

아그네스 보몬트의 자전적 신앙 산문 읽기
정영진
http://dx.doi.org/10.14376/lar.2021.26.1.137

이 글의 취지는 잘 알려지지 않은 17세기 영국 여성의 자전적 신앙 산문을 소개하고 연구 대상으로 조명하는 데 있다. 『아그네스 보몬트의 박해 서사』로 알려진 이 자전적 신앙 산문은 22세 중하층 여성의 1인칭 저술이고 현재 필사본으로 남아있다. 아그네스 보몬트의 생애, 『박해』의 필사본 특성, 전개 양상, 집필 동기에 대해 고찰하면서 이 산문이 갖는 컨텍스트와 텍스트적 특이점들을 살펴본다. 이 글은 두 가지의 목표를 가지고 있다. 하나는 자세한 비평적 소개를 통해 『박해』를 학술적 연구 범주로 끌어오고 앞으로 다양한 논의의 장을 만드는 것이다. 또 하나의 목표는 아그네스 보몬트의 서술 전략을 조망하면서 『박해』를 종교와 문학이 매개되는 방식을 탐색하는 것이다.

“And further doth declare, who was Aucthour”: The Collaborative Environment of Early Modern Authorship
정영진
고전중세르네상스영문학

Literary collaboration has been a focus of recent studies of early modern literature. The outpouring of scholarship on the making of early modern writing and its social and material conditions, in particular, has resulted in rethinking the relation between writers and their writings. Such a critical turn to the material forms on which the meaning of a text depends and to the social networks of composition, publication, and distribution of literary artifacts serves as a call for a more nuanced ap

“For though I meet with many Contradictions”: An Collins’s Divine Songs and Meditacions (1653) as Spiritual Autobiography
Youngjin Chung
Literature and Religion

This essay aims to cultivate critical dialogues on early modern women’s engagement with religion through literature. Examining the autobiography of spiritual verse by the mid seventeenth-century Englishwoman An Collins, I explore the ways in which religious consciousness interplays with the gendered and afflicted female body. With a focus on Collins’ Divine Songs and Meditacions (1653), a collection written by a woman who suffered from disabilities and its anguish during her whole life, I look i

밀턴과근세영문학

This essay offers a materially grounded reading of the early modern book with a special emphasis on the extent to which the physical aspect of the book participates in the process of meaning-making through its relationship with a human agent. Recent developments in the history of reading and textual scholarship have complicated the notion and status of the book, underscoring the dynamic relationship between books and human activities. Hence I call attention to early modern books as complex mater

“And show my story, in thy eternal book”
Youngjin Chung
중세르네상스 영문학

This study offers a revisionist reading of John Donne’s Metempsychosis, or the Progress of the Soul (1601), a poem that has received only sporadic critical attention. The poem’s abrupt shifts of tone, narrative mode, and uses of generic conventions create a problem in accommodating it within the corpus of Donne’s poetry. Modern critics almost invariably categorizes the poem as a satire, paying disproportionate attention to the poem’s possible socio-political resonances. What is overlooked is Don

“Transformed Oft, And Chaunged Diuerslie”: Shapeshifting And Bodily Change In Spenser, Milton, Donne, And Seventeenth-Century Drama
Youngjin Chung
ScholarWorks@UMassAmherst (University of Massachusetts Amherst)OA

This thesis addresses the volatile body as a historiographical and literary category in selected works of Renaissance English literature. Through readings of poems by Edmund Spenser, John Donne, and John Milton, and of plays by Ben Jonson, John Webster, Richard Brome, Philip Massinger, and Sir William Berkeley, I investigate how Renaissance writers trope the idea of transformation in different ways, in different moments, and in different genres. What meanings inhere in the shifting forms they re
