This collection of essays looks at the distinctively English
intellectual, social and political phenomenon of Latitudinarianism,
which emerged during the Civil War and Interregnum and came into
its own after the Restoration, becoming a virtual orthodoxy after
1688. Dividing into two parts, it first examines the importance of
the Cambridge Platonists, who sought to embrace the newest
philosophical and scientific movements within Church of England
orthodoxy, and then moves into the later seventeenth century, from
the Restoration onwards, culminating in essays on the philosopher
John Locke. These contributions establish a firmly
interdisciplinary basis for the subject, while collectively
gravitating towards the importance of discourse and language as the
medium for cultural exchange. The variety of approaches serves to
illuminate the cultural indeterminacy of the period, in which
inherited models and vocabularies were forced to undergo revisions,
coinciding with the formation of many cultural institutions still
governing English society.
