First published in 1964, Renaissance & Seventeenth - Century
Studies contains essays which fall into two groups. The first four
are concerned with problems of metaphor and style and treat two
important eras in literary history when these problems underwent
critical re-examination. St. Augustine marks the classical attempt
to take account of "biblical poetics" while the two essays on the
theory of the "metaphysical" style treat the attempt of seventeenth
century critics to comprehend, at the theoretical level, the
expansion of metaphysical possibilities that marked the
"metaphysical" movement. The second group of essays are, in
general, concerned with Machiavelli and Machiavellism and Andrew
Marvell. However, they are again essentially concerned with the way
in which crucial metaphors and idea-images serve as principles for
organising experience both in Machiavelli's own writings and in
that of work of Marvell which reflects his influence. The final
essay "Cromwell as Davidic King", weaves together Machiavellian and
Augustinian strands as they are manifested in the works of a poet
of wit, the "various light" of whose mind responded harmoniously to
the different currents of thought and taste these essays discuss.
This book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of
literature, literary history, political philosophy, and philosophy
in general.
