| Research Abstract |
This research has targeted at"re-"interpretation of the Bible in the various types of writings by some early modern female writers. Through examining the texts and contexts, it has become highly possible that their interpretations are dependent on or influenced by the expositions of the Bible by St. Augustine to some degree. The objects of this study include not only biblical writings but also closet dramas and translating works. The research shows that the egalitarian ideas based on reinterpretation of the Bible, which originated from St. Augustine's expositions, became gradually widespread in early modern Europe. It has become clear that these female writers have made use of such egalitarian ideas in their interpretations and tried to exempt women from the original sin.
