Description
This brief and illuminating account explores the ideas of world order prevalent in the Elizabethan age and beyond, serving as a valuable companion for readers of the great writers of the 16th and 17th centuries. Prof. Tillyard delves into the medieval concept of an ordered Chain of Being, tracing its evolution under the influence of the dynamic spirit of the Renaissance. The book covers various topics including Angels, the Stars and Fortunes, the Analogy between Macrocosm and Microcosm, the Four Elements, the Four Humours, Sympathies, Correspondences, and the Cosmic Dance - ideas and symbols that captivated the minds and imaginations of not only the Elizabethans but also the entire Renaissance period.
