A Common Humanity? From Poetry to Philosophy in Hugo Grotius
This essay shows how Hugo Grotius (1583–1646) made use of classical poetry and drama, especially that of Lucan, Euripides, and Seneca, in developing his thought on the treatment of captives, prisoners of war, and slaves, and argues that his method was humanist and philological. From his early publishing projects to “The Rights of War and Peace” (De Iure Belli ac Pacis, 1625), Grotius developed an account of common social experience, a formal mech…
Hugo Grotius and Marriage's Global Past
While Grotius does not offer a new theory of marriage, nonetheless marriage seems to crop up in the most unlikely of places in The Rights of War and Peace. Marriage, as it arises out of natural law, becomes a model for thinking about topics vital to the early modern international: conduct in war, trade, sovereignty, and subordination of peoples; theorizing hierarchy and obligation of unequals; forging distinctions between the legal and the permis…

Saints or Citizens? Ideas of Marriage in Seventeenth-Century English Republicanism
It is a curious fact that with every great revolutionary movement the question of free comes into the foreground', wrote Frederich Engels in 1883.1 Indeed, the English, the French, and the Bolshevik Revolutions all took marriage out of the Church and made it a civil contract. In the French Revolution, there was controversy over Albert-Joseph Hennet's Du Divorce (1789); the French National Assembly established new institutions to deal with family …
Heresy, Literature and Politics in Early Modern English Culture
The Cambridge Companion to Writing of the English Revolution
This collection of fifteen essays by leading scholars examines the extraordinary diversity and richness of the writing produced in response to, and as part of, the upheaval in the religious, political and cultural life of the nation which constituted the English Revolution. The turmoil of the civil wars fought out from 1639 to 1651, the shock of the execution of Charles I, and the uncertainty of the succeeding period of constitutional experiment …
John Foxe and the Jews
It is little known that John Foxes Book of Martyrs included stories of Jews. Contradictory and complex, Foxes writings on Jews show how a powerful writer conceived of the place of Jews in a newly self-concious, Protestant English national identity amidst conflicting currents of theology, race, and politics. The ideologies of Reforming Protestantism supplied the explicit political frameworks through which age-old stereotypes about the cultural or …

Milton's Spectre in the Restoration
A s good almost kill a man as kill a good book, Milton had written 1644: the Restoration government saw fit to do both. Milton somehow escaped the death penalty after the Restoration, but his books did burn bonfires throughout the summer and into the fall of 1660-one of many rituals that were part of the exhilaration and vehemence of the festivities greeting the new king and that purged the previous period into oblivion. The author judiciously we…
