Beginning with an analysis of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and
building to a new reading of Milton's "Paradise Lost," author Seth
Lobis charts a profound change in the cultural meaning of sympathy
during the seventeenth century. Having long referred to magical
affinities in the universe, sympathy was increasingly understood to
be a force of connection between people. By examining sympathy in
literary and philosophical writing of the period, Lobis illuminates
an extraordinary shift in human understanding.
