Cefalu offers the first sustained assessment of the ways in which
recent contemporary philosophy and cultural theory -- including the
work of Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, Eric Santner, Slavoj Zižek,
and Alenka Zupancic -- can illuminate Early Modern literature and
culture. The book argues that when selected Early Modern devotional
poets set out to represent subject-God relations, they often
encounter some sublime aspect of God that, in Slovenian-Lacanian
terms, seems "Other" to himself. This divine Other, while sometimes
presented directly as a void or empty place, is more often filled
in and presented instead as some form of divine excess. While
Donne, and to a lesser extent Traherne, disavow those numinous
aspects of God that might subsist beneath such excesses, Crashaw,
and especially Milton, attempt to represent the intimate
relationship between any creature's and God's intrinsic alterity.
Cefalu introduces new ways of theorizing not only
seventeenth-century religious ideologies, but also the nature of
Early Modern subjectivity.
