Cefalu, Paul.

English Renaissance literature and contemporary theorysublime objects of theology /[electronic resource] :Paul Cefalu. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - [ix], 217 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [201]-206) and index.

The Idolatrous State of Exception in John Donne's Poetry and Prose -- God?s Extimacy: Divine Excess and Baroque Monads in the Poetry of Richard Crashaw -- Tarrying with Chaos: Radical Evil and John Milton's Paradise Lost -- God beyond Essence: The Event of Love in the Poetry and Prose of Thomas Traherne.

Cefalu offers the first sustained assessment of the ways in which recent contemporary philosophy and cultural theory -- including the work of Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, Eric Santner, Slavojiek, and Alenka Zupancic -- can illuminate Early Modern literature and culture. The bookargues that when selected Early Modern devotional poets set out to represent subject-God relations, they often encounter some sublime aspect of God that, in Slovenian-Lacanian terms, seems "Other" to himself. This divine Other, while sometimes presented directly as a void or empty place, is more often filled inand presented instead as some form of divine excess. While Donne, and to a lesser extent Traherne, disavow thosenuminous aspects of God that might subsist beneath such excesses, Crashaw, and especially Milton, attempt to represent the intimate relationship between any creature's and God's intrinsicalterity. Cefalu introduces new ways of theorizing not only seventeenth-century religious ideologies,but also the nature of Early Modern subjectivity.
