Women and Stoic ethics in early modern England
This paper provides an overview of women's engagement with Stoic ethics in early modern England (c. 1600-1700). It builds on recent literature in the field by demonstrating that there is a positive gender-inclusive narrative to be told about Stoic philosophy in this time-one that incorporates women's specific concerns and responds to women's lived experiences. To support this claim, we take an interdisciplinary approach and examine several differ…
Animal-Human Compassion
This essay argues that animal-human compassion, defined as human fellow-feeling with (and not for ) animals, is most urgently articulated at points of crisis in human history, such as the terrible bushfires and drought of the Australian summer of 2019–20. Literary history, particularly of pastoral literature, reveals animal-human compassion as a long-contested structure of feeling. The pastoral template established in classical literature, and re…
Compassion, a Timely Feeling
The concept of compassion, defined as suffering with, has a long history often entangled in that of the cognate term pity. It has proven to be a changeable concept that is not only responsive to but integral to historical change itself. This is because it is a sociable emotion, but, in the sense that it expresses a desire to alleviate the suffering of another, the emotion also expresses the desire to effect change. For this reason it is a particu…
Wifely ‘Affection and Disposition’
The sermon Thomas Gataker gave at the wedding of Brilliana Conway and Sir Robert Harley in 1623 was published under the title A Wife in Deed (1623). Gataker defines marriage as an affective contract between two agents with responsibilities to one another, and offers practical and generic precepts for conduct. The dedication to Robert Harley honouring Brilliana Harley as a “mirror” of the ideal wife links those ideals, rhetorically at least, to th…
Tenderness, Tittle-tattle and Truth in Mother-Daughter Letters
The correspondence of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and her daughter and granddaughter is one of the most extensive collections of English mother–daughter letters for the period. Through it one can see the nature of their political and social activity and their sense and construction of their own social identities and responsibilities. But what is most distinct about the Montagu–Bute–Stuart sequence is their reflection on what mother–daughter letters…
The Public Life of a Woman of Wit and Quality
During a smallpox epidemic in April 1721, Lady Mary Wortley Montaguasked Dr. Charles Maitland to "engraft" her daughter, thus instigatingthe first documented inoculation for smallpox ( Variola virus) inEngland. Engrafting, or variolation, was a means of conferring immunityto smallpox by placing pus taken from a smallpox pustule underthe skin of an uninfected person to create a local infection. Theintroduction of infectious viral matter, however, …
