Seventeenth-century English literature pursues these questions through depictions of marriage. The writings studied in this book elevate a love between two individuals who deem each other to be unique to the point of being irreplaceable and this vocabulary allows writers to put affective pressure on the meaning of marriage as Pauline theology defines it. Stubbornly individual, love threatens to short-circuit marriage's function in directing intimate feelings toward a corporate experience of Christ's love. The literary project of testing the meaning of marriage proved to be urgent work throughout the seventeenth century. Monarchy itself was put on trial in this century, and so was the usefulness of marriage in linking Christian belief with the legitimacy of hereditary succession. Starting at the end of the sixteenth century with Edmund Spenser, and then exploring works by William Shakespeare, William Davenant, John Milton, Lucy Hutchinson, and Aphra Behn, Eric Song offers a new account of how notions of unique personhood became embedded in a literary way of thinking and feeling about marriage"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Beguiling love in the Amoretti and the 1590 Faerie queene -- Jealousy against substitution in Othello and The winter's tale -- Gondibert and the biopolitics of marriage -- Love against succession in Paradise lost -- Lucy Hutchinson and the imperfection of Christian marriage -- From remarriage to tragic fungibility : Behn's The forc'd marriage and Oroonoko. 648 7 $a 1500-1700 $2 fast 650 0 $a Marriage in literature. 650 0 $a English literature $y 17th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a English literature $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Love in literature. 650 0 $a English literature $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a English literature $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a English literature $x Early modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710960 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a English literature $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912200 650 7 $a Love in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01002808 650 7 $a Marriage in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010607 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Song, Eric B., 1979- $t Love against substitution. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, [2022] $z 9781503631410 $w (OCoLC)1300229866 830 0 $a Cultural memory in the present. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025218.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1963F6D2253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
