Focusing on the etymology of the term conscience, to know with, this book demonstrates how the idea of a shared knowledge uniquely equips conscience with the potential to forge dynamic connections between the self and nation, a potential only amplified by the surge in conscience writing in the mid-seventeenth-century. Iacono Lobo recovers a larger cultural discourse at the heart of which is a revolution of conscience itself through her readings of poetry, prose, political pamphlets and philosophy, letters, and biography. This revolution of conscience is marked by a distinct and radical connection between conscience and the nation as writers struggle to redefine, reimagine, and even render anew what it means to know with as an English people.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIllustrations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Revolutions of Conscience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Charles I, \u003ci\u003eEikon Basilike\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Pulpit-Work of the King\u0026amp;#x2019;s Conscience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Oliver Cromwell and the Duties of Conscience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Early Quaker Writing and the Unifying Light of Conscience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Thomas Hobbes\u0026amp;#x2019;s \u003ci\u003eLeviathan\u003c\/i\u003e and the Civilizing Force of Conscience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Lucy Hutchinson\u0026amp;#x2019;s Revisions of Conscience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Milton\u0026amp;#x2019;s Nation of Conscience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfterword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595449200920,"sku":"9781487501204","price":44.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/writing-conscience-and-the-nation-in-revolutionary-england-hardback-9781487501204","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
