• W29659624 abstract "At edge of a glade, John Smith reported a troop of nearly nude Native women, led by non-paeril Pocahontas who emerged from woods to perform an exotic dance for him. Concluded at his feet these several nubile women pressed sensuously down upon him with feathers while asking electrifying question - Love you not me? Transformed into modern age, one might suspect that Smith had engaged a private dancer in a darken corner of some shady nightclub. Such is imagery of the Princess, whom we have been given to presume as a historical figure from who accept Smith's colonial record without question. These historians, particularly Philip Barbour, have dutifully read Smith's General Historie with an air of literary simple location according it status of doctrine. Subsequent scholars have followed with little concern for histographical contextuality while framing a literalism erstwhile accorded sacred scripture.Some ten years ago, I began questioning overall reliability of Smith's General Historie (Vest, 2000: 397-424; Vest, 2003: 72-87). l Emboldened with criticism of skeptics, I championed doubt and implausibility of Smith's General Historie as a written ethnographical source appearing sixteen years after his initial Virginia adventures. Indeed, I suspected events and circumstances ascribed to Indian - Pocahontas - did not ring true. Having appearance of propaganda, I began to suspect it to be a taking narrative designed to disposes indigenous peoples of Tsenacomoco or Powhatan Virginia. Subsequently, my skepticism led me to review Smith's claims for Indian and to consider their source contextually within milieu of Elizabethan and Jacobean England. Accordingly, I soon discovered striking parallels between Pocahontas figure and stagecraft manifest in English Renaissance Drama. In this context, I began probing literary depths that underlie Pocahontas legend. In doing so, I reported two significant allegorical interpolations - Smith rescue motif and capture-conversion-marriage of Pocahontas to yeoman farmer John Rolfe - as literary illusion that were previously passed off as historical fact (Vest, 2006: 109-118; Vest, 2007: 3143).Unfortunately, many scholars have naively taken Masque in Glade account as an example of Powhatan ethnology (Woodward, 1969: 8788; Mossiker, 1996: 109-111; Kupperman, 2000:93; and Rountree, 2005: 112).2 Were it not for colonial historians and populist champions of America's First Region, (Anonymous, 2007: C-18)3 such conclusions would be simply farcical meriting nothing more than a silly indulgence. There is, however, a significant discontinuity in presentation of this legend.In my previous investigations of Pocahontas / Matoaka narrative, I have argued that Smith-Rescue and Rolfe-Marriage appear as allegorical interpolations within English conquest literature associated with Virginia. Doing so, I have pointed to problem of literary simple location where an abstract figure is arrested in literature and given a presumed historical place in time and space. Such reifications are subsequently taken literally resulting in fallacy of misplaced concreteness and when these are amplified over time and space in folk representation and scholarly analysis, result is a quantum abstraction generating a world of hyper-reality, where organic experience and reality itself are impoverished by illusions (Vest, 2003, 72-87; Vest, 2006, 109-118; and Vest, 2007: 3142).4As I have previously concluded, English literary tales of a Pocahontas-Smith Rescue and a Pocahontas / Matoaka-Rolfe Marriage evidence a significant discontinuity that has been, nonetheless, given to represent a single biological life as Princess - Pocahontas. With this paper, once again, I seek to revisit legend of Indian Princess, called Pocahontas, and to further explore another of its discontinuities and allegorical illusions associated with her. …" @default.
