Book Synopsis Pleasure and Gender in the Writings of Thomas More by : A. D. Cousins
Download or read book Pleasure and Gender in the Writings of Thomas More written by A. D. Cousins and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-08-26 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prominent scholar of the life and work of Thomas More, A. D. Cousins goes beyond the scope of existing studies to focus primarily and closely on More’s interpretations of the major cultural categories informing his view of the common weal, the common good, and correlatively on the (good) state. Thus, this study identifies categories that relate to the individual in civil life, categories that are pervasive and interconnected within More’s nonpolemical writings—most specifically, Cousins focuses on pleasure and gender, considering chance, friendship, and role-play throughout. Exploring pleasure and gender in relation to issues of the common good and of the (good) state, More probes how people make sense of chance (and, alternatively, how they do not), how friendship works interpersonally and beyond national boundaries, and what roles people play (as well as to what roles they can aspire). As Cousins asserts, pursuing the common weal was for More both necessary and desirable, and he himself pursued this on behalf of his country, the republic of letters, and the Church Militant. argues that, from what appears to be his earliest nonpolemical work, Pageant Verses, until what we know to be his last, De Tristitia Christi, More sees the will to pleasure as central to the experience of being human: as a primary human impulse or, at the least, a compelling power within the human consciousness. In tracing how More examines the will to pleasure in our lives, Cousins also examines More’s recurrent concern with gender’s inflecting and expressing this desire. More clearly views gender as potentially restrictive or empowering in many respects, which is discussed in relation to several of More’s texts.
Book Synopsis Thomas More's Vocation by : Frank Mitjans
Download or read book Thomas More's Vocation written by Frank Mitjans and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book considers Thomas More’s early life-choices. An early letter is cited by biographers but most miss More’s reference to the market place. More’s great-grandson, Cresacre, a Londoner, understood it correctly, and that gives reason to trust him on other aspects of More’s youth. This study is based on early testimonies, those of Erasmus, Roper, Harpsfield, Stapleton and Cresacre More, as well as More’s early writings, the Pageant Verses, and his additions / omissions to the Life of Pico; evidence drawn from authors he recommended, like Hilton and Gerson; and finally, his epitaph. Attention is given to his lectures on St Augustine’s City of God, and to St John Chrysostom. It is argued More studied Chrysostom’s Homilies on the Gospel of St Matthew,/i> from a Greek manuscript. Chrysostom, in the introductory homily, spoke of the city and the market place, as the setting in which Christians practice the teaching of Christ. More practiced law and taught it. He was attracted to becoming a Christian humanist alongside Grocyn, Colet, Linacre, and Lily. With them he studied Greek, the classics and Fathers of the Church. Helped by them he became a man of prayer, aware of the need to seek holiness in the midst of the world as a layman. Faced with the dilemma of the humanist in choosing between the contemplative life of the philosopher and an active life of engagement with the world, he deliberately chose the active life in service to society, and the contemplative life of the Christian as a married man. This awareness and choice is what is called vocation, implying determination to persevere throughout life: More saw his life as a pilgrimage towards heaven as described in the last chapter focusing on More’s last work, De tristitia, tedio, pavore, et oratione christi ante captionem eius.

Book Synopsis Young Thomas More and the Arts of Liberty by : Gerard B. Wegemer
Download or read book Young Thomas More and the Arts of Liberty written by Gerard B. Wegemer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-29 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a free citizen in times of war and tyranny? What kind of education is needed to be a 'first' or leading citizen in a strife-filled country? And what does it mean to be free when freedom is forcibly opposed? These concerns pervade Thomas More's earliest writings, writings mostly unknown, including his 280 poems, declamation on tyrannicide, coronation ode for Henry VIII and his life of Pico della Mirandola, all written before Richard III and Utopia. This book analyzes those writings, guided especially by these questions: Faced with generations of civil war, what did young More see as the causes of that strife? What did he see as possible solutions? Why did More spend fourteen years after law school learning Greek and immersed in classical studies? Why do his early works use vocabulary devised by Cicero at the end of the Roman Republic?

Book Synopsis Unexpected Heirs in Early Modern Europe by : Valerie Schutte
Download or read book Unexpected Heirs in Early Modern Europe written by Valerie Schutte and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were many surprising accessions in the early modern period, including Mary I of England, Henry III of France, Anne Stuart, and others, but this is the first book dedicated solely to evaluating their lives and the repercussions of their reigns. By comparing a variety of such unexpected heirs, this engaging history offers a richer portrait of early modern monarchy. It shows that the need for heirs and the acquisition and preparation of heirs had a critical impact on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century culture and politics, from the appropriation of culture to the influence of language, to trade and political alliances. It also shows that securing a dynasty relied on more than just political agreements and giving birth to legitimate sons, examining how relationships between women could and did forge alliances and dynastic continuities.

This book was released on 2011-08-22 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the poems in George Herbert's TheChurch (1633) are one-of-a-kind irregularlyshaped anomalies. By employing the dimeter infifty of the one hundred and sixty poems, Herbertwas able to create a wide variety of outlinepatterns. The poems that contain lines of two-feetnot only include silhouettes of objects (e.g., Easter Wings and The Altar), but also shapes thatmirror physical movement and internal processesas well.After reviewing how the dimeter functions in non-dramatic English poetry published before 1633and what is given shape in Greek, neo-Latin, andEnglish figure poetry preceding The Church, Idiscuss in great detail how George Herbert walksoutside any practice before him by means of histwo-feet to radically fuse content and form. Asthe words become the flesh of forms, simultaneously each fresh incarnation looks,works and speaks the word that gives it life.
