Robert South (1634-1716) was one of the great Anglican writers and
preachers of his age. A contemporary of Dryden and Locke, he faced
the profound political and philosophical changes taking place at
the beginning of the Enlightenment in England. With the
interdependence of Church and State forcing a conjunction of
religious and political issues, South's life and work as a preacher
show him reacting to changes in civil and ecclesiastical polity
over the course of his active public life. Gerard Reedy's book, the
first major study of South, makes a strong case for the importance
of his sermons, their complexity, beauty and wit, and their place
in the history of post-Restoration English literature. Discussing
sermons of South which deal with his theory of politics, language,
the sacrament and mystery, Reedy reintroduces us to a lively and
seminal master of prose, politics and theology in the late Stuart
era.
