Curiosity: A Cultural History of Early Modern Inquiry Paperback - 2002
by Barbara M. Benedict
First line
Curiosity has long been considered a virtue in Western culture.
From the rear cover
"Pithy and wide-ranging. . . . This study provides a fresh new lens through which to reinvestigate the whole of early modern English literature."--Library Journal
In this striking social history, Barbara M. Benedict draws on the texts of the early modern period to discover the era's attitudes toward curiosity, a trait we learn was often depicted as an unsavory form of transgression or cultural ambition.Details
