The book challenges the perception that the Renaissance marks a decisive shift in attitudes towards the body, sex, and the self. In early modernity, self-respect was a Satanic impulse that had to be annihilated--the body was not celebrated, but beaten into subjection--and, feeling circumscribed by sexual desire, ascetics found relief in pain, solitude, and deformity. On the basis of this austerity, Early Modern Asceticism questions the ease with which scholarship often elides the early and the modern."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-226) and index. 505 0 $a John Donne and Asceticism -- A Mask, Asceticism, and Caroline Culture -- The Virgin's Body and the National World in Lycidas -- Upon Appleton House and the Impossibility of Asceticism -- Self-Denial, Monasticism, and The Pilgrim's Progress. 648 7 $a 1500-1700 $2 fast 650 0 $a Religion and literature $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Religion and literature $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a English literature $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Asceticism in literature. 650 0 $a Spirituality in literature. 650 7 $a Asceticism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00818443 650 7 $a English literature $x Early modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710960 650 7 $a Religion and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093839 650 7 $a Spirituality in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130202 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021648.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CCE48AF6586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
