  • Historical Criticism, the Reclamation of Codes, and Repairs to Literary History

    Howard D WeinbrotARTICLEEighteenth-Century Life2017

    Like other earlier authors, Fielding and Richardson place culturally shared “codes” in their texts and exploit those codes for their readers' instruction and delight. The historical critic uses multiple approaches to reclaim what our ancestors knew and what can enlarge modern knowledge and, thereby, modern pleasure. I here try to reclaim lost classical allusions, and use lexicography, textual variants, rape and marriage laws, and social and dynas…

  • Augustus Caesar in Augustan England

    Howard D WeinbrotBOOKAugustus Caesar in Augustan England2015

    Howard D. Weinbrot challenges the view that the period 1660-1800 is correctly regarded as the "Augustan" age of English literature, a time in which classical Augustan ideals provided a main source of inspiration.

Probyn, Abigail Williams); bibliographical an…

  • The Thirtieth of January Sermon

    Howard D WeinbrotARTICLEEighteenth-Century Life2010Cited by: 1

    The stern royalist Act of 12 Car. 2, c.30 in 1662 reprobated the “abominable” regicide of Charles I on 30 January 1649 (n.s.). The act mandated that on every 30 January every Anglican church or chapel in every parish in British dominions should read a sermon deploring the murder and imploring God's forgiveness for so horrid a national crime. Such sermons soon indeed were heard in Britain's 10,000 parishes and generally were hostile to the ever gu…
