Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Coming to grips with 17th-century sensibilities means tackling God, a compulsory theme for believers and unbelievers alike. A series of close readings devoted to a wide variety of authors (Shakespeare, Donne, Herbert, and Milton; Descartes, Corneille, Pascal, and Racine; Bidermann, Spinoza, and Calderõn) provides an introduction to this most central if now neglected feature of the early modern imaginary landscape.
