Description

Explore the vast landscape of seventeenth-century English prose with this comprehensive study from the Longman Literature In English Series. Published by Routledge, Roger Pooley provides the first book-length history dedicated to the diverse range of writing styles and voices that defined this era. This scholarly work covers a wide spectrum of literary forms. Readers can examine narrative developments through the fiction of Bunyan and Aphra Behn, alongside the biographical and autobiographical accounts of Aubrey and Pepys. The text also investigates religious prose, from the influential Authorised Version to the sermons of Donne. Beyond religion, the book explores the political writing of major figures such as Milton, Hobbes, Locke, and Marvell. It also tracks the evolution of scientific thought through the writings of Bacon and Newton, as well as cornucopian texts. This book is an essential resource for understanding how the boundaries of the literary canon were shaped during this transformative period.
