Description

Explore the complex role of humility in sixteenth and seventeenth-century life with this scholarly study from Routledge. While modern Western culture often lacks a high valuation for humility, Jennifer Clement demonstrates how it remained central to Christian faith, behavior, and early modern concepts of the self. This book examines how literary works of the era linked humility to self-knowledge through the practice of right reading. Clement shows that humility was not merely a tool for self-abjection, as some might mistakenly believe, but was actually foundational to understanding human agency. By addressing the lack of critical interest in this topic, this study provides a fresh perspective on how early modern writers engaged with these values. It is an essential resource for those studying literary theory, history, and the evolution of religious thought in Early Modern England.
