Dispensing with Power: A Response to Three Papers on Historical Criticism
The essays printed here all make the case for historical criticism in reasonable and persuasive terms. Professor Weinbrot's paper shows how recovering the meaning that classical allusions, formal word order, and particular loaded phrases had for their original audiences makes us better readers of eighteenth-century novels. One of his examples is the phrase “dispensing power,” which James II claimed in his attempt to remake the monarchy on an auto…
Concepts of Creativity in Seventeenth-Century England
The first genuinely interdisciplinary study of creativity in early modern England In the seventeenth century, the concept of creativity was far removed from most of the fundamental ideas about the creative act - notions of human imagination, inspiration, originality and genius - that developed in the eighteenthand nineteenth centuries.

Some excellent recent scholarship has alerted us to the political dimensions of the drama, prose, translations, and original poetry that John Dryden wrote after the Revolution of 1688.1 In keeping with his Jacobite principles, the old Dryden frequently seized and sometimes created opportunities to criticize usurpation, conscription, standing armies, and the belief that warfare might actually achieve its goals - all recognizable features of King W…
Boccherini's Body: An Essay in Carnal Musicology
The Cambridge Companion to English Literature, 1650–1740
This volume offers an account of English literary culture in one of its most volatile and politically engaged moments. From the work of Milton and Marvell in the 1650s and 1660s through the brilliant careers of Dryden, Rochester, and Behn, Locke and Astell, Swift and Defoe, Pope and Montagu, the pressures and extremes of social, political, and sexual experience are everywhere reflected in literary texts: in the daring lyrics and intricate politic…
