Book Description
A comprehensive survey of Stoic ideas and attitudes in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English literature. Examples come from poetry, prose, and drama. Introductory chapters fill in the Classical, Medieval, and early Renaissance backgrounds, and a concluding chapter points toward the eighteenth century. Concentration is on three fundamental but ambiguous Stoic ideals: tranquillity, duty, and the wise man.
