Customer Reviews

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.
