• W275112085 abstract "Age of Elizabeth in the Age of Johnson, by Jack Lynch. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003. Pp xi + 224. Cloth $55.00 In his recent book, Jack Lynch elegantly performs a useful service. way Johnson's perceived the Elizabethan must affect how subsequent ages perceive both ages. Each of the seven chapters, some previously published, treats a single aspect of intellectual life: Struggling to Emerge from Barbarity, Historiography and the Idea of the Classic, Learning's Triumph: Historicism and the Spirit of the Age, Call Britannia's Glories back to View: Tudor History and Hanoverian Historians, The Rage of Reformation: Religious Controversy and Political Stability, The Ground-work of Stile: Language and National Identity, Studied Barbarity: Jonson, Spenser, and the Idea of Progress, and finally The Last Age: Renaissance Lost. Each chapter describes a way that the eighteenth century adheres to ideas developed or brought to a peak in the Elizabethan age, and each is divided into enticing and easily digested sub topics. This well-designed book has the Library of Congress's DA designation, which means that Lynch, a member of the English Department at Rutgers, receives for his book the call number associated with the discipline of history. He deplores the separation of disciplines and writes comfortably about the history of ideas, literature, language, linguistics, religion, and more. He does not much concern himself with topics that were less important to Johnson, such as art, music, and theater; the status of women; slavery; and other topics of enormous interest in the eighteenth century judging by articles in contemporary journals. Of course, Lynch does mention Johnson's editing of and prefaces to Shakespeare, but more visible presences in the book are Spenser, about whom Johnson did not write much, and Milton, whom Lynch argues belongs in the of Elizabeth (144-488). Though he does not discuss editing Shakespeare in detail, Lynch recognizes its importance: The need to understand the national poet turned critics' attention to his contemporaries and reinforced their notion of Shakespeare's day as a distinct age (43). Elizabeth, of course, died in 1603, and Shakespeare in 1616, but Lynch extends the of Elizabeth to 1660, the return of monarchy after Cromwell's death. By focusing on only a few figures from the of Elizabeth and demonstrating Johnson's debt to those few, the book's title, resonant as it is, promises, perhaps, too much. Take the fourth chapter, The Rage of Reformation: Religious Controversy and Political Stability. Lynch demonstrates convincingly that Johnson's ideas of the Reformation as a one-time perfecting of religion which must not be challenged by individual conscience or change-except for the state's minor adjustments of things indifferent (90)-derive from his reliance on the works of the sixteenth-century theologian Richard Hooker, whom Johnson frequently cites in his dictionary. But surely there were others, nonconformists and recusants, in the eighteenth century who did question such views. (Charles Jennens comes to mind, an editor of Shakespeare who challenges Johnson and his cohort.) And there were, as well, thinkers in the Elizabethan who promulgated views other than Hooker's right-wing perspective (Edward Coke, for example, and Milton, whose radicalism Lynch discusses in the last chapter). …" @default.
