John Bunyan's Imaginary Writings in Context (Paperback): Nancy Rosenfeld John Bunyan's Imaginary Writings in Context (Paperback)
Nancy Rosenfeld
R1,247 Discovery Miles 12 470 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Within the last half-century, early scholarly approaches and analysis of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress have seen siginificant advances in mandating and enabling a more contextualized view of Bunyan's oeuvre. Utilizing this fresh examination of context, John Bunyan's Imaginary Writings in Context explores Bunyan's writings in a double context: his fictional works vis-a-vis his own non-fictional writings, and his fictional writings in the context of written materials by other authors - books, tracts, spiritual biographies, and poems available to Bunyan. This volumepresents these recent developments by blurring the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction, between literature and history, and in the case of Bunyan, between imaginative literatures in fiction and theological writing. Moreover, this book aims to delineate the imaginary world underlying Bunyan's fictional writings by viewing Bunyan's own fictional works in tandem with his non-fiction writings. Simultaneously it situates aspects of Bunyan's fiction in the context of writings available to him, whether these be Holy Scripture, religious tracts by other authors, or ballads and short texts current in the wider culture of the time.

The Human Satan in Seventeenth-Century English Literature - From Milton to Rochester (Paperback): Nancy Rosenfeld The Human Satan in Seventeenth-Century English Literature - From Milton to Rochester (Paperback)
Nancy Rosenfeld
R1,529 Discovery Miles 15 290 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Framed by an understanding that the very concept of what defines the human is often influenced by Renaissance and early modern texts, this book establishes the beginning of the literary development of the satanic form into a humanized form in the seventeenth century. This development is centered on characters and poetry of four seventeenth-century writers: the Satan character in John Milton's Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, the Tempter in John Bunyan's Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners and Diabolus in Bunyan's The Holy War, the poetry of John Wilmot, earl of Rochester, and Dorimant in George Etherege's Man of Mode. The initial understanding of this development is through a sequential reading of Milton and Bunyan which examines the Satan character as an archetype-in-the-making, building upon each to work so that the character metamorphoses from a groveling serpent and fallen archangel to a humanized form embodying the human impulses necessary to commit evil. Rosenfeld then argues that this development continues in Restoration literature, showing that both Rochester and Etherege build upon their literary predecessors to develop the satanic figure towards greater humanity. Ultimately she demonstrates that these writers, taken collectively, have imbued Satan with the characteristics that define the human. This book includes as an epilogue a discussion of Samson in Milton's Samson Agonistes as a later seventeenth-century avatar of the humanized satanic form, providing an example for understanding a stock literary character in the light of early modern texts.
