Sleep, Romance and Human Embodiment: Vitality from Spenser to Milton
Sullivan, Jr, Garrett A. (Pennsylvania State University)
Contributing to the histories of genre, embodiment and vitality, this study shows the impact of Aristotelian and Cartesian conceptions of humanness on works by Shakespeare, Spenser, Milton and Sidney. Sullivan shows how, through the representation of sleep, epic and romance model the distinctive relationships between man, plant and animal.
