Beskrivning
Immateriality and Early Modern English Literature explores how early modern writers responded to rapidly shifting ideas about the interrelation of their natural and spiritual worlds. It provides six case studies of works by Shakespeare, Donne and Herbert, offering new readings of important literary texts of the English Renaissance alongside detailed chapters outlining attitudes towards immateriality in works of natural philosophy, medicine and theology. Building on the importance of addressing material culture in order to understand early modern literature, Knapp demonstrates how the literary imagination was shaped by changing attitudes toward the immaterial realm.

Recensioner i media

For those with an interest in the early modern period’s negotiations of alternative, sometimes contradictory, forms of knowledge, Immateriality and Early Modern English Literature is an indispensable resource. Knapp’s monograph is to be admired for its careful philological excavations and close reading of a vast intellectual tradition that was so readily apparent to early modern thinkers.
