Ofir Haivry. John Selden and the Western Political Tradition
Over the past thirty years, the seventeenth-century lawyer, polymath, and Hebraist John Selden (1584–1654) has finally become a major subject for early modern scholarship. Despite the excellence of this work, two misapprehensions regarding Selden’s writings have continued to dominate. One is that Selden did not have ideas but cared about scholarship for its own sake. The other is that if Selden had ideas, they were secularizing and Hobbesian, wit…

Thomas Browne's A Letter to a Friend and the semiotics of disease
In its opening pages, Thomas Browne's Letter to a Friend (published posthumously, 1690) declares the physician's instant certainty about the fatal prognosis of a consumptive patient for the benefit of a mutual friend who has asked Browne for a report. If Browne aims to come across as an authoritative physician – and he does – this authority proves a far more complex semiotic affair than his immediate recognition of a fatal consumption. A Letter t…
The Cambridge Companion to Lucretius
Lucretius' didactic poem De rerum natura ('On the Nature of Things') is an impassioned and visionary presentation of the materialist philosophy of Epicurus, and one of the most powerful poetic texts of antiquity. After its rediscovery in 1417 it became a controversial and seminal work in successive phases of literary history, the history of science, and the Enlightenment. In this 2007 Cambridge Companion experts in the history of literature, phil…

Recreating Ancient History
Literature and Religious Culture in Seventeenth-Century England
Reid Barbour's 2002 study takes a fresh look at English Protestant culture in the reign of Charles I (1625–1649). In the decades leading into the civil war and the execution of their monarch, English writers explored the experience of a Protestant life of holiness, looking at it in terms of heroic endeavours, worship, the social order, and the cosmos. Barbour examines sermons and theological treatises to argue that Caroline religious culture comp…

English Epicures and Stoics
For 17th-century English intellectuals, the ancient Epicureans and Stoics spoke clearly and forcefully to the kinds of problems they most wanted to solve. Whether seeking to define divinity, kingship, nobility or liberty, to determine how people should live, govern, worship, form societies and interpret nature, or to mediate between pleasure and virtue - early Stuart writers time and again adapted and transformed the rival yet crossbred legacies …
The Caroline Church Heroic
In his biography of Nicholas Ferrar, A.L. Maycock speaks volumes in describing the Ferrar family's transition in 1625 as a movement from one venture (the Virginia Company) to another, the “great adventure” of Little Gidding. In this one phrase Maycock comprehends the view of its founders that no less than the Virginia Company's epic plantation of true religion among the Indians, the community at Little Gidding ranks as a heroic enterprise, the di…
