This book offers a fascinating account of the central myth of
Western culture - the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Philip Almond examines the way in which the gaps, hints and
illusions within this biblical story were filled out in
seventeenth-century English thought. At this time, the Bible formed
a fundamental basis for studies in all subjects, and influenced
greatly the way that people understood the world. Drawing
extensively on primary sources he covers subjects as diverse as
theology, history, philosophy, botany, language, anthropology,
geology, vegetarianism, and women. He demonstrates the way in which
the story of Adam and Eve was the fulcrum around which moved lively
discussions on topics such as the place and nature of Paradise, the
date of creation, the nature of Adamic language, the origins of the
American Indians, agrarian communism, and the necessity and meaning
of love, labour and marriage.
