This article compares the way that Lanyer and Jonson genderize the images of an oak tree in their respective country house poem, “Description of Cooke-ham” and “To Penshurst,” exploring the implications in their genderizations. Lanyer locates the tree in the center of her praise of Countess of Cumberland in her poem. Lanyer intimately associates the oak tree with the Countess, feminizing the apparently masculine oak tree and evoking its ancient mythical femininity, creative power and wisdom, which had been lost in the transitional process from matriarchal society to patriarchal society. Thus the oak tree becomes a mythical source for Lanyer’s praise and defence of women in “Description of Cooke-ham.” By comparison, Jonson uses oak trees to establish an ideal community which he studiously constructs in “To Penshurst.” The first oak tree in the poem is a symbol of patrilineal succession in the Sidney family. The second oak tree is associated with the Lady of the family, preserving its ancient femininity. However its femininity serves to keep the order of the androcentric community in Penshurst. Both poets use the oak tree as a strategic tool for praising their own patrons. Interestingly, the two poets’ gender seems to be reflected in their gendered outlooks on the oak tree.
Abstract
This article compares the way that Lanyer and Jonson genderize the images of an oak tree in their respective country house poem, “Description of Cooke-ham” and “To Penshurst,” exploring the implications in their genderizations. Lanyer locates the tree in the center of her praise of Countess of Cumberland in her poem. Lanyer intimately associates the oak tree with the Countess, feminizing the apparently masculine oak tree and evoking its ancient mythical femininity, creative power and wisdom, which had been lost in the transitional process from matriarchal society to patriarchal society. Thus the oak tree becomes a mythical source for Lanyer’s praise and defence of women in “Description of Cooke-ham.” By comparison, Jonson uses oak trees to establish an ideal community which he studiously constructs in “To Penshurst.” The first oak tree in the poem is a symbol of patrilineal succession in the Sidney family. The second oak tree is associated with the Lady of the family, preserving its ancient femininity. However its femininity serves to keep the order of the androcentric community in Penshurst. Both poets use the oak tree as a strategic tool for praising their own patrons. Interestingly, the two poets’ gender seems to be reflected in their gendered outlooks on the oak tree.
