Virtue Reality: Axiology and Imagination in the English Renaissance Virtue Reality: Axiology and Imagination in the English Renaissance By Donald T. Rodrigues Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in English August 11, 2017 Nashville, TN Approved: Kathryn Schwarz, Ph.D.; Chair Jay Clayton, Ph.D.; Co-Chair Leah Marcus, Ph.D. Jeffrey Schnapp, Ph.D. To my nephew, Christopher ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Given my interest in the logic according to which virtuous power begets virtual community, I have been uncannily fortunate to work with so many actually virtuous individuals. I need, first, to extend gratitude to the members of my committee—Kathryn Schwarz, Jay Clayton, Leah Marcus, and Jeffrey Schnapp—for being nothing less than an academic dream team. Thank you, Kathryn, for goading me to recognize that my long-standing commitments to activism would only flourish by turning to the peculiarities of early modern literature and culture. Leah, I cannot thank you enough for your constant support, generosity, and wisdom; you have done so much to enrich my life these last few years. Jay, you have been a source of constant inspiration and surprise, in the best sense of the term; working as your Research Assistant turned my years as a graduate student into a rollicking adventure. And Jeffrey, I thank you for welcoming me to the fabulous metaLAB at Harvard, a space that challenged my conception of what digital work could do. My research and thinking has benefitted immeasurably from coursework and conversations that I have had with faculty at Vanderbilt University. I owe special thanks to Helen Shin, Jessie Hock, Houston Baker, Peter Lake, Hortense Spillers, Mark Wollaeger, Jennifer Fay, Lutz Koepnick, and Lynn Enterline. My research has been supported by grants, training, and other forms of assistance from Vanderbilt, including the Graduate School, the Department of Cinema and Media Arts, the program in Women’s and Gender Studies, the HASTAC Scholars program, the Vanderbilt Institute for Digital Learning, the Mellon Institute for Digital and Public Humanities, and the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise, and Public Policy. I am particularly grateful to the Department of English, which awarded me a 2016-2017 Dissertation Fellowship and funded my participation in the 2016 Cornell School of Criticism and Theory; I am also indebted to Vanderbilt’s College of Arts and Sciences, which provided the means for my predoctoral research fellowship at Harvard University in 2015. This project would not be possible without the support of the Folger Institute and The National Endowment for the Humanities, which funded several seminars that I’ve attended on early modern studies and the digital humanities. In particular, I want to thank Jonathan Hope and Michael Witmore, who expertly guided several of these sessions. I also want to thank Barbara Lewalski, whose feedback assisted in the development of my work on Chapter 3; Anupam Basu, for his indispensible Early Print n-gram engine; and Jonathan Lamb, who convinced me that this project would be incomplete without accounting for the influence of Philip Sidney. I would also like to thank Michael Drout for his thoughts on the data that led to the digital findings of Chapter 4, and Kristen Abbot-Bennett, whose meticulous feedback on my work for her 2015 edited collection contributed significantly to my progress on this chapter. I feel immense gratitude to my extended family and network of colleagues at Vanderbilt and beyond. I would like to thank Travis Williams, Mary Cappello, Galen Johnson, and Cheryl Foster, who served on my thesis committee at the University of Rhode Island; I would also like to thank URI faculty Jean Walton, Jennifer Jones, Mary Hollinshead, Stephen Barber, Jody Lisberger, Carolyn Betensky, and Peter Covino for their feedback and ongoing support. I am iii equally grateful to my friends and colleagues Amanda Lehr, Joseph Jordan, Kristen Navarro, Jennifer Lee, Kirsten Mendoza, Petal Samuel, Deann Armstrong, Killian Quigley, Chelsea Land, Lauren Mitchell, Henry Gorman, Benjamin Hagen, Becky Greene, Erica Zimmerman, Judah Micah-Lamar, and Matthew Harrison for reading my work and / or mind at exactly the right moments—I can’t imagine having done this without you. Special thanks goes out to Shelby Johnson, my co-conspirator and (hopefully) future co- author: you have been an inspiration and a foundation through this entire process. Kim Evelyn, thank you for your steadfast support and love since day one. Mike Becker, you inspire me always with your conviction and quiet ferocity. Gavin Hurley, thank you for daring to use a term I coined in one of your cover letters, and for being a generally awesome human. Brittany Hirth, you make me Laugh Out Loud a thousand miles away, and you are also the strongest and most gracious colleague I have ever worked with. Martin Brown, you have made my latest living adventure something to look forward to every single day. Stephanie Straub, I am endlessly surprised by the depth and breadth of your wonder at all the little things; I am also beyond grateful to you for your help with formatting this beast of a document. Hugs and love to my very first mentor, Mary Cappello, whose commitment to testing the boundary between scholarship and poetry inspires and motivates more than just my academic work. Ana Yeomans and Rich Bouchey, thank you for your support, kindness, and all the wonderful meals—and for tolerating my working away in your home through the nights. To my family—Bill, Tina, Eva, and Gianna Travis, Don, Christine, Dante, and Niko Rodrigues—thank you for all you have done to see me to this place. Extra-special thanks to my brother Chris Rodrigues, Kelsey Rodrigues, and my nephew Christopher for convincing me that I will always have a real home “back home.” To Auntie Donna—also known as Donna Travis—you have shown me through your love and commitment to political life how to live both authentically and passionately. To my mother, Janice Rodrigues, I would not be here were it not for your relentless belief in me. And to Sara Murphy, you have been my rock through it all. I will always be awed by your courage and boundless capacity for enduring love through every obstacle. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page DEDICATION................................................................................................................................ ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS........................................................................................................... iii PREFACE.................................................................................................................................... viii INTRODUCTION: THE VIRTUE EFFECT..................................................................................1 Virtue Alert ............................................................................................................................11 Virtue Ethics...........................................................................................................................16 The Virtual Self......................................................................................................................22 Chapter: 1.

Bodies of Knowledge: The Presentation of Personified Figures in Engraved Allegorical Series Produced in the Netherlands, 1548-1600 Abstract During the second half of the sixteenth century, engraved series of allegorical subjects featuring personified figures flourished for several decades in the Low Countries before falling into disfavor. Designed by the Netherlandsâ?? leading artists and cut by professional engravers, such series were collected primarily by the urban intelligentsia, who appreciated the use of personification for the representation of immaterial concepts and for the transmission of knowledge, both in prints and in public spectacles. The pairing of embodied forms and serial format was particularly well suited to the portrayal of abstract themes with multiple components, such as the Four Elements, Four Seasons, Seven Planets, Five Senses, or Seven Virtues and Seven Vices. While many of the themes had existed prior to their adoption in Netherlandish graphics, their pictorial rendering had rarely been so pervasive or systematic.

  • Carnegie Institution, Has Selected the Articles in This Book
    (Continued from front flap) This work has been described in many hundreds of scientific papers, ar- ticles, addresses and books: the scientist's way of communicating his findings. By the very nature of the undertaking, the ma- jority of these have been predominantly technical: addressed to the writer's col- leagues in his special field of research. But some have been clothed in language of such clarity and literary quality as to at- tract the interest of far wider audiences. From this group, Dr. Caryl Haskins, president of the Carnegie Institution, has selected the articles in this book. They cover a broad spectrum of science, from viruses to galaxies; from life's beginning to exploration of the cosmos. Included are contributions from many outstanding names in science. There is an introduction by Dr. Haskins. The Carnegie Institution, which has its headquarters in Washington, D. C, currently operates six research centers, each with its own laboratories and staff. They are the Mount Wilson and Palomar Observatories (operated jointly with the California Institute of Technology) in Pasadena, California; the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism and the Geophysi- cal Laboratory, both in Washington, D. C; the Department of Embryology, at the Johns Hopkins University in Balti- more, Maryland; the Department of Plant Biology, at Stanford University, Stanford, California; and the Genetics Research Unit, Cold Spring Harbor, New York.

  • Bloomfield, the Poetry of Interpretation
    The Poetry of Interpretation: Exegetical Lyric after the English Reformation Gabriel Bloomfield Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Gabriel Bloomfield All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Poetry of Interpretation: Exegetical Lyric after the English Reformation Gabriel Bloomfield “The Poetry of Interpretation” writes a pre-history of the twentieth-century phenomenon of close reading by interpreting the devotional poetry of the English Renaissance in the context of the period’s exegetical literatures. The chapters explore a range of hermeneutic methods that allowed preachers and commentators, writing in the wake of the Reformation’s turn to the “literal sense” of scripture, to grapple with and clarify the bible’s “darke texts.” I argue that early modern religious poets—principally Anne Lock, John Donne, George Herbert, William Alabaster, and John Milton—absorbed these same methods into their compositional practices, merging the arts of poesis and exegesis. Consistently skeptical about the very project they undertake, however, these poets became not just practitioners but theorists of interpretive method. Situated at the intersection of religious history, hermeneutics, and poetics, this study develops a new understanding of lyric’s formal operations while intimating an alternative history of the discipline of literary criticism.

Wayland Sanctifying a Darke Conceit: Seeing the Bible in The Faerie Queene Abstract Approaching the poem from the perspective of reception history, the present dissertation seeks to show that the Bible’s role in The Faerie Queene is far more pervasive than has usually been recog- nized. Rather than see the biblical material as the domain of only certain sections—notably, Book I and perhaps Books II and V—I propose that it is to be seen as a meaningful presence throughout the poem. Indeed, I will argue that it provides a previously unnoticed, unifying structure to the whole.
