In the late English Renaissance, writers as varied as Shakespeare, Hooker, Bacon, and Hobbes problematically engaged the traditional idea of order and helped define a new, secular one. In this intellectual history, Collins treats the idea of order as a dynamic concept which incorporates changing views of self, society, and the relationship between private and public during these years. He sees this as a process of meaning redefinition that simultaneously heightens and comes to terms with the dissolution of the old idea of order; the self-consciously articulated concept of the representative sovereign state replaces the vision of the divine cosmos as the medium for identity and social order. Collins draws on a wide range of political, literary, and other contemporary writings to chart this process--now associated with secularization--providing a provocative analysis of social and intellectual change.

Original Paperback. Zustand: Gut. VIII; 235 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Very good and clean. - Sehr gut und sauber. - My interest in the intellectual history of the English Renaissance and in Shakespeare in particular began during a summer matinee performance at the Aldwych Theater, London, 1969. My experience of Troilus and Cressida that afternoon exhilarated yet disconcerted me. While I had never formally studied Shakespeare, I sensed that I had experienced him "wrongly"not as I was supposed to, not as "intended." As I turned to Elizabethan historians and literary critics and returned to Troilus and Cressida (at the theater and in the text), I began to feel that the unease I had experienced, the dis-order (if you will), was meaningful. The play I watched and listened to and the text I read were problematical. Its language gave the lie to its "meaning", to the "ideology" of order that Tillyard and others so clearlyand so appropriately, it appearedidentified as a thematic Elizabethan and Shakespearean convention. It was not that the play (and as I continued to read other of Shakespeare's plays, I saw a similar relationship) was not about order, it was more that it problematically questioned its own "obvious" theme. It simultaneously established (reinforced, perhaps) and contested (critiqued) an "ideology" of order. Such textual self-contestation denied reductive interpretations that identified objective meaning in Shakespearean text and/or in Elizabethan cultural contexts; it suggested that historical meaning could best be apprehended as an experiential process. In trying over the years and in this book to approach the historical nature of this textually momentous self-contestation, I have treated the idea of order both as the objectively conventional Elizabethan ideology and as the referential context against which such "meaning" is subjectively problematized. As an intellectual history of the idea of order, this book hopes in the words of Dominick LaCapra "to formulate as a problem what is so often taken deceptively as a solution: the relationship between texts and their various pertinent contexts."
