It argues that the religious, political, and scientific revolutions of the preceding half century changed the way writers thought about the relationship between order and invention. Jointly, these revolutions helped foster the sense of a disorder of kinds that challenged the hierarchies that had seemed to organize nature and society. This sense converged around the mushrooming of new religious kinds in the seventeenth century (Quakers, Seekers, Ranters, Muggletonians, Deists, Socinians, etc.); the emergence of political parties in the 1680s and 1690s (Whig, Tory, Country, Low Church, High Church); the booming discovery of new animals and plants from distant and not-so-distant locations; and the demonstration by scientists that new kinds could be created experimentally"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Toward a voluntarist aesthetic -- Glorious arbitrariness : science, religion, and the imagination of infinite variety -- Energy and structure : remaking the given in Blackmore and Pope -- Embarrassed invention : Stillingfleet, Locke, and the style of voluntarism -- The constructive Swift : between the hope and fear of decomposition -- The providence of gathering and scattering : dynamic variety in Defoe. 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literary form $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Order (Philosophy) in literature. 650 0 $a Voluntarism $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Religion and literature $z England $x History $y 18th century. 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Literary form. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999924 650 7 $a Order (Philosophy) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01047371 650 7 $a Religion and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093839 650 7 $a Voluntarism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01168976 651 0 $a England $x History $x History $y 18th century. 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 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780812299908 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020507.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=567F96B4DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
