Abraham Stoll

Conscience in Early Modern English Literature

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book describes how poetry, theology, and politics intersect in the early modern conscience. Stoll explores how Shakespeare, Spenser, Herbert, and Milton attempt to capture the experience of being in its grip. In the literature of the early modern conscience, Protestant subjectivity evolves toward the political subject of modern liberalism.
