    Philosophy and Paradise Lost

    by Tzachi Zamir ...
    Paradise Lost has never received a substantial, book-length reading by a philosopher. This, however should surprise no one, for Milton himself despised philosophers. He associated philosophy with deceit in his theological writings, and made philosophizing into one of the activities of fallen angels in hell. Yet, in this book, philosopher and literary critic Tzachi Zamir argues that Milton's ... Read more

    Rebellious Daughters, 1786–1826

    by Orianne Smith ...
    Series Book 98 - Cambridge Studies in Romanticism
    Convinced that the end of the world was at hand, many Romantic women writers assumed the role of the female prophet to sound the alarm before the final curtain fell.

  • Shakespeare And Comedy

    by Robert Maslen ...
    Series series Arden Critical Companions
    Comedy was at the centre of a critical storm that raged throughout the early modern period. Shakespeare's plays made capital of this controversy. In them he deliberately invokes the case against comedy made by the Elizabethan theatre haters. They are filled with jokes that go too far, laughter that hurts its victims, wordplay that turns to swordplay and aggressive acts of comic revenge. Through a ... Read more

  • Genre and Women's Life Writing in Early Modern England

    Edited by Michelle M. Dowd, Julie A. Eckerle ...
    By taking account of the ways in which early modern women made use of formal and generic structures to constitute themselves in writing, the essays collected here interrogate the discursive contours of gendered identity in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England.

  • Montaigne and the Life of Freedom

    by Felicity Green ...
    Series Book 101 - Ideas in Context
    More than any other early modern text, Montaigne's Essais have come to be associated with the emergence of a distinctively modern subjectivity, defined in opposition to the artifices of language and social performance. Felicity Green challenges this interpretation with a compelling revisionist reading of Montaigne's text, centred on one of his deepest but hitherto most neglected preoccupations: ... Read more
