What can I do? To what degree do we control our own desires,
actions, and fate - or not? These questions haunt us, and have done
so, in various forms, for thousands of years. Timothy Rosendale
explores the problem of human will and action relative to the
Divine - which Luther himself identified as the central issue of
the Reformation - and its manifestations in English literary texts
from 1580-1670. After an introduction which outlines the broader
issues from Sophocles and the Stoics to twentieth-century
philosophy, the opening chapter traces the theological history of
the agency problem from the New Testament to the seventeenth
century. The following chapters address particular aspects of
volition and salvation (will, action, struggle, and blame) in the
writings of Marlowe, Kyd, Shakespeare, Ford, Herbert, Donne, and
Milton, who tackle these problems with an urgency and depth that
resonate with parallel concerns today.
