Craik, Katharine A.

Reading sensations in early modern England[electronic resource] /Katharine A. Craik. - Basingstoke ;Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - xi, 200 p. - Early modern literature in history. - Early modern literature in history (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)).

This study examines the power of literature to affect readers' minds, bodies and souls, the theory of reading, and of mind and body.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 179-192) and index.

The word and the flesh in early modern England -- Beneath the skin: George Puttenham, Sir Philip Sidney and the experience of English poetry -- Arming the reader: Sir Philip Sidney and the literature of choler -- 'These spots are but the letters': John Donne and the medicaments ofelegy -- Eating his words: Thomas Coryat and the art of indigestion --Touching stories: Richard Braithwait, Thomas Cranley and the origins of English pornography.

Reading Sensations in Early Modern England explores the power of literature to affect, for better or worse, readers' minds, bodies and souls. Considering texts by a broad range of early modern writers, including Sir Philip Sidney and John Donne, Katharine A. Craik explores the ways in which literature not only inflamed the emotions, but also transformed the colour, temperature and texture of the material body. Although such ideas originate in antiquity, the authors considered here are immersed in Renaissance theories of the passions and humours, and subscribeespecially to the idea that psychological and physiological feeling are inseparable. Each makes bold new constructions about theability of literature to influence the complexional, appetitive and humoral make-upof English gentlemen, and all are animated by the notion that sensation is a vital force in literary reception and the world at large. Reading emerges not only as an emotionally and physically transformative experience, but as an ethically and morally nuanced one as well.
