À propos de ce produit

Product Information

During the seventeenth century, England was beset by three epidemics of the bubonic plague, each outbreak claiming between a quarter and a third of the population of London and other urban centers. Surveying a wide range of responses to these epidemics--sermons, medical tracts, pious exhortations, satirical pamphlets, and political commentary-- Plague Writing in Early Modern England brings to life the many and complex ways Londoners made sense of such unspeakable devastation. Ernest B. Gilman argues that the plague writing of the period attempted unsuccessfully to rationalize the catastrophic and that its failure to account for the plague as an instrument of divine justice fundamentally threatened the core of Christian belief. Gilman also trains his critical eye on the works of Jonson, Donne, Pepys, and Defoe, which, he posits, can be more fully understood when put into the context of this century-long project to "write out" the plague. Ultimately, Plague Writing in Early Modern England is more than a compendium of artifacts of a bygone era; it holds up a distant mirror to reflect our own condition in the age of AIDS, super viruses, multidrug resistant tuberculosis, and the hovering threat of a global flu pandemic.

Reviews
"This ambitious, wide-ranging study provides an impressive reconsideration of plague writing in England, but it encompasses much more than that....Most impressive are the opening and closing chapters, which connect early-modern plague mentality with the contemporary mentality: now, after a period of optimism fostered by vaccines and penicillin, the world is once again living in an age of plagues (AIDS, swine flu). This discussion makes the book all the more valuable....Highly recommended."-Choice, "A remarkably careful, self-reflective analysis, and a valuable addition to the subject."-Adamy Smyth,Times Literary Supplement, "A remarkably careful, self-reflective analysis, and a valuable addition to the subject."Adamy Smyth, Times Literary Supplement, "This ambitious, wide-ranging study provides an impressive reconsideration of plague writing in England, but it encompasses much more than that....Most impressive are the opening and closing chapters, which connect early-modern plague mentality with the contemporary mentality: now, after a period of optimism fostered by vaccines and penicillin, the world is once again living in an age of plagues (AIDS, swine flu).
