Rogers Introduction It can be argued that modern geology began through attempts to explain natural features of Earth’s surface as consequences of a better known as Steno, and often viewed as the seventeenth-century forebear of modern geology, “invoked Noah’s Flood to explain the nature of fossils”, published in 1669. In the same vein, Janet Browne discusses “the critical role played by Noah’s Ark in the development of ideas about the geographical distribution of animals and plants”.1 But the stratigraphic studies which Steno pioneered proved somewhat retributive in that they eventually sounded the death knell for the idea that the Flood was responsible for producing most of Earth’s geological features.

  • An Exploration of John Woodwardâ•Žs
    THE POWER OF THE AUTHOR OF NATURE “THE POWER OF THE AUTHOR OF NATURE”: AN EXPLORATION OF JOHN WOODWARD’S FUSION OF NATURAL AND REVEALED RELIGION By CHRISTINE BUGLER, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Christine Bugler, August 2012 i McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (1992) Hamilton, Ontario (English) TITLE: “The Power of the Author of Nature”: An Exploration of John Woodward’s Fusion of Natural and Revealed Religion AUTHOR: Christine Bugler, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Peter Walmsley NUMBER OF PAGES: iv, 104 ii ABSTRACT: Sir Isaac Newton’s famous discovery of gravity marks the rapid advancement of science in the English seventeenth century, and a permanent shift away from the scientific methods of antiquity. Natural philosophers were beginning to look at the physical world in new and dynamic ways. However, much of this new theory conflicted with traditional theology, which was problematic for Christian followers of this ‘new science’. To negotiate this conflict, a group of natural philosophers developed a new branch of science entitled physico-theology. This stream aims to prove that science does not dismiss religion, but is able to reinforce the existence of God and the truth of Biblical texts. John Woodward is a largely overlooked participant in physico-theology, but his literary works supply key information to modern readers in the understanding of this field. This study critically examines Woodward’s Natural History of the Earth for its significant contributions to early modern science and literary techniques of this discipline.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19581-2 - Defoe’s America Dennis Todd Frontmatter More information DEFOE’S AMERICA The Americas appear as an evocative setting in more than half of Daniel Defoe’s novels and often offer a new beginning for his characters. In the first full-length study of Defoe and colonial- ism, Dennis Todd explores why the New World loomed so large in Defoe’s imagination. By focusing on the historical contexts that informed Defoe’s depiction of American Indians, African slaves, and white indentured servants, Dennis Todd investigates the colonial assumptions that shaped his novels and, at the same time, uncov- ers how Defoe used details of the American experience in complex, often figurative ways to explore the psychological bases of the pro- found conversions and transformations that his heroes and heroines undergo. And by examining what Defoe knew and did not know about America, what he falsely believed and what he knowingly fal- sified, Defoe’s America probes the doubts, hesitancies, and contradic- tions he had about the colonial project he so fervently promoted. dennis todd is Associate Professor of English at Georgetown University. A specialist in eighteenth-century American and British literature and culture, he has written on Daniel Defoe, Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, William Hogarth, John Arbuthnot, and early science.

  • Theatre and Art: Gay and Hogarth (Art Imitating Life Or Life Imitating Art?) Larisa Kocic-Zámbó
    This teaching material has been made at the University of Szeged and supported by the European Union. Project identity number: EFOP-3.4.3-16-2016-00014 Restoration & Eighteenth-Century English Literature (ANGBA3- Literature Survey Course) Theatre and Art: Gay and Hogarth (Art Imitating Life or Life Imitating Art?) Larisa Kocic-Zámbó SUMMARY: This lesson is a look at the satirical take on corruption in 18th century England, both in terms of government (The Beggar’s Opera) and metropolitan London (A Harlot’s Progress). Topics to be discussed: • General idea on satire • John Gay’s The Beggar’s opera (1728) o Popular reception o Critical reception • William Hogarth’s A Harlot Progress (1732) 1 | P a g e 1 FROM EXCLUSIVITY TO POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT Discussion of theatre so far revealed its exclusive nature, as Restoration theatre (comedy, tragedy and dramatic opera alike) was primarily the entertainment of aristocratic and privileged classes with its reliance on allegorical readings of performances teeming with allusions to contemporary court and political intrigues. The 18th century will see a broadening of theatre’s appeal among middle-class (bourgeois) audience with the popularity of sentimental comedy, a dramatic genre developed in response to the perceived immorality of Restoration plays in which the protagonist were middle class characters overcoming moral and social obstacles — a plotline far more identifiable for the growing middle class audiences than the allegorical figures of tragedies and operas, or the plotlines of comedies in which characters of middle-and-lower-class origin bore the brunt of comedic jibes. However, as the emerging medium of novel (with similar plotlines as sentimental comedy) will have a far wider appeal (due to its accessibility), we will skip the discussion of sentimental comedy and 18th century theatre at large, paying homage merely to the unique phenomenon of John Gay’s The Beggar’s opera (1728).
