Mortal Thoughts(1st Edition)
Religion, Secularity, & Identity in Shakespeare and Early Modern Culture
by Professor Brian Cummings
Hardcover, 384 Pages, Published 2013 by Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-967771-9, ISBN: 0-19-967771-9

"Since the nineteenth century, it has been assumed that the concept of personal identity in the early modern period is bound up with secularization.

ISBN-13: 978-0-19-872447-6, ISBN: 0-19-872447-0

"The original essays in Oxford Twenty-First Century Approaches to Literature mean to provoke rather than reassure, to challenge rather than codify.

Instead of emphasizing settled consensus they direct their readers to areas of enlivened and unresolved debate. The deepest periodic division in English literary history has been between t ..."

"Stephen Medcalf (1937-2006) was an essayist, in the best traditional sense of that calling: a writer not of books but of substantial and justly celebrated essays, widely read in the Times Literary Supplement and elsewhere. Medcalf's abiding question to the world was the Psalmist's: 'What is man that thou art mindful of him?' His was a Blakean sense of Englishness, far from the chocolate-box painting or the television adaptation, and f ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8101-4049-3, ISBN: 0-8101-4049-7

"The term “secular” inspires thinking about disenchantment, periodization, modernity, and subjectivity. The essays in Sacred and Secular Transactions in the Age of Shakespeare argue that Shakespeare’s plays present “secularization” not only as a historical narrative of progress but also as a hermeneutic process that unleashes complex and often problematic transactions between sacred and secular. These transactions shape ideas about every ..."
