Lucretian thought in Late Stuart England :debates about the nature of the soul /Laura Linker. - 1 online resource.

Introduction: Great Vibrations -- 1. Competing Motions -- 2. Outrageous Motions -- 3. Hysterical Motions -- 4. Contrary Motions -- Conclusion: The Spirits of the Soul.

How did writers understand the soul in late seventeenth-century England? New discoveries in medicine and anatomy led Restoration writers to question the substance of the soul and its motions in literature written during the neo-Epicurean revival. Writers throughout Stuart England found Lucretius both liberating and disturbing and engaged Epicureanism in ways that cohered with their own philosophy, beliefs, values, or perceptions of the soul. "Lucretian Thought in Late Stuart England" considers depictions of the soul in several representative literary texts from the period that engage with Lucretius's Epicurean philosophy in "De rerum natura" directly or through the writings of the most important natural philosopher, anatomist, and prolific medical writer to disseminate Epicurean atomism in Stuart England, Walter Charleton (1619-1707). Laura Linker thoughtfully recasts the Restoration literary imagination and offers close readings of the understudied texts 'P. M. Gent' 's The Cimmerian Matron, To which is added; THE MYSTERIES And MIRACLES OF LOVE (1668); George Etherege's "The Man of Mode" (1676); and Lady Mary Chudleigh's "Poems" (1703).
