In Lucretius, and in the strain of thought followed in this study, matter is always in motion, always differing from itself and yet always also made of the same stuff. From the pious Lucy Hutchinson?s all but complete translation of the Roman epic poem to Margaret Cavendish?s repudiation of atomism (but not of its fundamental problematic of sameness and difference), a central concern of this book ishow a thoroughgoing materialism can be read alongside other strains in the thought of the early modern period, particularly Christianity.A chapter moves from Milton?s monism to his angels and their insistent corporeality. Milton?s angels have sex, and, throughout, this study emphasizes the consequences for thinking about sexuality offered by Lucretian materialism. Sameness of matter is not simply a question of same-sex sex, and the relations of atoms in Cavendish and Hutchinson are replicated in the terms in which they imagine marriages of partners who are also their doubles. Likewise, Spenser?s knights in the 1590 Faerie Queene pursue the virtues of Holiness, Temperance, and Chastity in quests that take the reader on a path of askesis of the kind that Lucretiusrecommends and that Foucault studied in the final volumes of his history of sexuality.Although English literature is the book?s main concern, it first contemplates relations between Lucretian matter and Pauline flesh by way of Tintoretto?s painting The Conversion of St. Paul. Theoretical issues raised in the work of Agamben and Badiou, among others, lead to a chapter that takes up the role that Lucretius has played in theory, from Bergson and Marx to Foucault and Deleuze.This study should be of concern to students of religion, philosophy, gender, and sexuality, especially as they impinge on questions of representation. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSex in literature 606 $aMaterial culture in literature 606 $aPhilosophy in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSex in literature. 615 0$aMaterial culture in literature. 615 0$aPhilosophy in literature. 676 $a820.9/353809031 700 $aGoldberg$b Jonathan$0251465 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457026503321 996 $aThe seeds of things$92490388 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02291nas 2200673-a 450 001 9910895897103321 005 20260218110840.0 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2539811-8 035 $a(CKB)110976725706082 035 $a(CONSER)---75648597- 035 $a(DE-599)2539811-8 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110976725706082 100 $a20760226a19uu9999 -b- b 101 0 $ager 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aSteirische Statistiken /$fAmt der Steiermärkischen Landesregierung, Präsidialabteilung, Referat Statistik 210 $a[Graz, Austria] $cDas Referat 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aSome no. also have a distinctive title. 311 08$aPrint version: Steirische Statistiken / 0039-1093 (DLC) 75648597 (OCoLC)2244429 606 $aArbeitnehmer$2swd 606 $aArbeitsmarkt$2swd 606 $aBevölkerungsentwicklung$2swd 606 $aEinkommen$2swd 606 $aKonjunktur$2swd 606 $aStatistik$2swd 606 $aTourismus$2swd 606 $aWirtschaft$2swd 606 $aWohnungsbau$2swd 606 $aÖsterreich$3(DE-601)091381975$3(DE-STW)16950-4$2stw 606 $aSteiermark$3(DE-601)091392209$3(DE-STW)16952-0$2stw 606 $aStatistik$3(DE-601)091392055$3(DE-STW)19072-1$2stw 607 $aStyria (Austria)$vStatistics$vPeriodicals 607 $aAustria$zStyria$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39QbtfRqVpfdX6FH9jVw9YB4Y 607 $aSteiermark$2swd 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aStatistics.$2fast 615 07$aArbeitnehmer. 615 07$aArbeitsmarkt. 615 07$aBevölkerungsentwicklung. 615 07$aEinkommen. 615 07$aKonjunktur. 615 07$aStatistik. 615 07$aTourismus. 615 07$aWirtschaft. 615 07$aWohnungsbau. 615 7$aÖsterreich 615 7$aSteiermark 615 7$aStatistik 676 $a314.36/5 712 02$aAmt der Steierma?rkischen Landesregierung.$bLandesamtsdirektion.$bLandesstatistik. 712 02$aAmt der Steierma?rkischen Landesregierung.$bFachabteilung 1C--Landesstatistik. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910895897103321 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aSteirische Statistiken$94255713 997 $aUNINA
