The Virtue of Sympathy: Magic, Philosophy, and Literature in Seventeenth-Century England
Lobis, Seth
Beginning with an analysis of Shakespeare’sThe Tempestand building to a new reading of Milton’sParadise Lost, author Seth Lobis charts a profound change in the cultural meaning of sympathy during the seventeenth century. Having long referred to magical affinities in the universe, sympathy was increasingly understood to be a force of connection between people. By examining sympathy in literary and philosophical writing of the period, Lobis illuminates an extraordinary shift in human understanding.
