A study of numerology in Elizabethan poetry, with some background
studies which base the subject in classical learning, the works of
Dante and Petrarch, and the esoteric traditions of the humanists.
The central assumption of numerological criticism is that there
exist works written in this tradition which show a correspondence
between structure and meaning on a numerical plane; that is, one in
which the number of the constituent parts (lines, stanzas, sonnets
in a sequence) expresses a major aspect of the meaning. For
instance parts of the whole can be arranged to represent months of
the year and so on. Such structures of time and the triumphal form,
in which the most important 'sovereign' element is placed at the
centre, are the two main numerological patterns discussed by Dr
Fowler. Critics have tended to regard numerology as an isolated
phenomenon, rare after the Middle Ages but Dr Fowler demonstrates
its persistence in the works of Spenser, Sidney, Chapman,
Shakespeare, Donne, Jonson, Dryden and others.
