Demographic History and English Culture
In England, the period from the late Middle Ages through early modernity was bookended by demographic change. On one edge, there was the Black Death and subsequent plague pandemics, which halved the population, reshaping English society in their wake. On the other, there was the demographic transition of the mid-eighteenth century, which reduced death rates and led to modern family structures. Between these two epochal events, demographic trends …
Early Stuart Clergyman Poets
This essay is a prosopographic study of the group of published poets, born between 1570 and 1610, who were employed as clergymen. It argues that this period saw an important shift in the organization and occupational structure of the church, which helped to produce a generation of university-educated, high-status clerics who were also accomplished versifiers. Poets such as George Herbert and John Donne were not anomalies but part of a wider trend…
Writing at the Origin of Capitalism
In the late sixteenth through seventeenth centuries, England simultaneously developed a national market and a national literary culture. In Writing at the Origin of Capitalism, Julianne Werlin describes how economic change in early modern England created new patterns of textual production and circulation with lasting consequences for English literature. Synthesizing research in book and media history, including investigations of manuscript and pr…
An Accidental Genre
It is not easy to write a new theory of the rise of the novel. Almost every aspect of eighteenth-century society, it can seem, has been scrutinized for its connection to the genre of Samuel Richardson and Jane Austen. Individualism and Protestantism, nationalism and imperialism, capitalism and sexual politics, at one time or another have all been proposed as the novel's basic catalyst. Although today a general ecumenicalism prevails, scholars sti…
Paper Monsters
In the final decade of the sixteenth century, Samuel Fallon argues in Paper Monsters: Persona and Literary Culture in Elizabethan England, a new kind of figure came into being: the literary persona. In this elegantly written and theoretically subtle study, Fallon explains that personae were writers’ alter egos and their avatars. Straddling the boundary between writer and work, a persona was at once a character within a given text and its putative…
Machinamentum X
Recent scholarship in the history of technology has provided new insights into the early modern investigation of nature, troubling fixed boundaries between invention and discovery, and more broadly, between art and knowledge. Drawing on such research, as well as literary scholars' discussions of parallels between Renaissance poetics and technics, I suggest that further inquiries into the role of technology in Andrew Marvell's poetry may yield new…
