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 01739oam 2200445M 450 001 9910716455003321 005 20200213071026.8 035 $a(CKB)5470000002521595 035 $a(OCoLC)1065743066 035 $a(OCoLC)995470000002521595 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002521595 100 $a20071213d1927 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aConstruction of certain public works by the Secretary of the Navy.
