威廉·莎士比亚(1564-1616)是英国文艺复兴时期最杰出的文学天才,他一生都致力于诗歌创作。他的诗歌才华不仅体现在他主要以无韵体写就的戏剧中，更体现在他创作的五首独立诗作中。这其中，莎士比亚的叙事诗《鲁克丽丝失贞记》在他的生前即获发表，该诗表明莎士比亚作为严肃的出版诗人，其创作开始走向成熟。 在《鲁克丽丝失贞记》中，莎士比亚通过创造出一种独特的写作模式即自我隐藏，来展现他的文学才华。莎士比亚隐藏了自己对伊丽莎白时期的热门话题自杀问题的伦理观点。他突出了鲁克丽丝的心理发展过程，揭示了鲁克丽丝被强奸后面临的困境, 使鲁克丽丝的自杀问题变得疑问重重。莎士比亚也隐藏了自己的政治立场。他详细地阐述了既是施暴者又是受害者的塔昆的内心冲突，并探讨了布鲁图斯在推翻君主制过程中所引发的争议。从这个意义上说，莎士比亚的政治立场变得犹疑、令人难以捉摸。这种自我隐藏的写作模式是莎士比亚的独创，可以说是为他自己的雄心与焦虑主动找寻平衡的结果。在英国的现代早期，由于精英阶级宫廷文人的傲慢和偏见，印刷出版被冠以耻辱的名声。莎士比亚雄心勃勃地想把自己塑造成一个有出版作品的严肃诗人，但是他对公开暴露自己表现出强烈的焦虑，因为莎士比亚和他的目标读者精英阶层一样，也持有"出版即耻辱"这样的观点。莎士比亚专注于"出版"，这也是他的诗歌《鲁克丽丝失贞记》的主要关注点。在这首诗中，女主人公鲁克丽丝的悲剧最初源于科拉廷在自大地向外界公开他的妻子的美貌和贞操。 自我隐藏造成了模糊性，模糊性又创造出多样性，这是莎士比亚的《鲁克丽丝失贞记》的一大特点。莎士比亚的《鲁克丽丝失贞记》旨在探索多样性，引发对故事的多重解读,并促使读者对具有"多重思维"的作者莎士比亚本人进行多重解读。这是莎士比亚借以展示其文学力量的核心，也是他作为文艺复兴时期诗人的独特之处。

William Shakespeare (1564-1616), the most prominent literary genius of English Renaissance, constantly devoted himself to poetic writing during his lifetime. His poetic talents are not only demonstrated in his theatrical plays written mainly in blank verses, but also in his five freestanding poems. Among these, Shakespeare's narrative poem Lucrece, published at his time, proves to be a great example to demonstrate a serious print-poet coming of age. In Lucrece, Shakespeare uses a unique way to present his literary genius by inventing a distinctive writing mode, his self-concealment. Shakespeare conceals his own ethical views towards the heated suicidal discussions in the late Elizabethan era. He foregrounds Lucrece's psychological development, reveals Lucrece's predicament after her rape and makes Lucrece's suicide problematic. Shakespeare also conceals his own political stance. He elaborates on the inner conflicts of Tarquin who is both an assailant and victim. Besides, he explores Brutus's controversial overthrow of the monarchy. In this sense, Shakespeare's political stance becomes dubious. This self-concealment writing mode is Shakespeare's ingenious invention, which can be termed as the result of an active balance of his ambition and anxiety. In the early modern England, the stigma was attached to print due to the elite courtly circles' pride and prejudice. Shakespeare was ambitious to establish himself as a serious print-poet, but he showed an intense anxiety about overtly exposing himself as he shared the idea of "the stigma of print" with his elite readership. Shakespeare is preoccupied with the idea of "publishing", which is also the main concern of his poem, Lucrece. In it, the source of the heroine Lucrece's tragedy is her husband Collatine's egotistic publishing of her beauty and chastity in front of others. Self-concealment creates ambiguity and ambiguity is followed by diversity, which is a great strength of Shakespeare's Lucrece. Shakespeare's Lucrece is to explore the diversity, to elicit multiple readings of the story and furthermore to invite a varied reading of "myriad-minded" Shakespeare, the author himself; and this aim, is the core of Shakespeare's literary power and his distinctiveness as a Renaissance poet.
