Qcmt Studies i lz the ElzgZish 7QGaissance

The format and enumerative standards of ELR “Recent Studies” surveys are generally consistent with those used in the forthcoming Recent Studies in English Renaissance Drama, ed. Terence P. Logan and Denzell S . Smith (University of Nebraska Press). Scholarship is organized by authors or titles of anonymous works. Items included represent the combined entries listed in the annual bibliographies published by PMLA, SP, YWES, and MHRA from 1945 through, in the present instance, 1969, supplemented by a selective list of general studies and additional annual bibliographies. This material, at the discretion of the individual contributor, has been either included in the prose commentary or listed in the See alro sections. The series is intended to combine a topical review of research with a reasonably complete bibliography.

ELR bibliographical articles will expand the Nebraska series to include nondramatic authors and, when appropriate, bring the dramatic surveys up to date. Preliminary enumera- tive bibliography and editorial work are done at the Renaissance English Bibliography Center, University of New Hampshire. Journal title abbreviations used are from the Directory of Journals and Series in the Humanities, compiled by Harrison T. Meserole and Carolyn James Bishop (New York, 1970) .-Terence P. Logan, Director; Renaissance Eng- lish Bibliography Center; University of New Hampshire, Durham

The standard edition of Browne is the The Works of Sir Thomas Browne, ed. Sir Geoffrey Keynes, 4 vols. (1964). Selected Writings, edited by Keynes (1968), includes the major works. Norman Endicott’s edition of The Prose ofSir Thomas Brotune (1967) makes avail- able well-edited texts (with extensive notes and commentary) ofmost ofBrowne’s major writings.

Keynes has provided a Bibliography ofSir Thomas Browne Kt. M.D., 2nd ed. (1968). 0. Leroy has compiled A French Bibliography o f Sir Thomas Browne (193 1). And Dennis G. Donovan has published a checklist of editions and criticism: Elizabethan Bibliographies Supplements X : Sir Thomas Browne (1924-1966), Robert Burton (1924-1966) (1968).

I. GENERAL

A. Biographical. Frank L. Huntley examines Browne’s life in relation to his works and to the seventeenth century in Sir Thomas Browne: A Biographical and Critical Study (1962). Somewhat less balanced perhaps, if only because it addresses itself to biographical cruces, is Jeremiah S. Finch’s Sir Thomas Browne: A Doctor’s Li& ofscience and Faith (1950). Finch‘s treatment of Browne as a physician is especially useful. Joan Bennett’s Sir Thomas Browne: A Man ofAchievement in Literature (1962) is a convenient biography. The essential facts of Browne’s life are presented by Peter Green in Sir Thomas Browne (WTW, 1959). Jean- Jacques Denonain’s La Personnalitt! de Sir Thomas Browne (1959), examines Browne’s life, his writings, and his contemporary portraiture from the point of view of characterology.

Dennis G. Donovan 273 B. General Studies. Frank L. Huntley’s Sir Thomas Browne: A Biographical and Critical Study (1962) provides an introduction to Browne’s achievement. Concentrating on the major works (Religio Medici, Pseudodoxia Epidemica, Urn Burial, The Garden o f Cyrus, and Christian Morals) Huntley treats each with particular attention to structure.

Examining Browne’s attachment to the Platonic tradition, Leonard Nathanson in The Stratkgy of Truth: A Study o f Sir Thomas Browne (1967) considers Browne’s major works “in the light of a multiple framework provided by literary history, the history of ideas, and modern critical theory.” For Nathanson “the problem of truth absorbs Browne’s attention more than any other issue. His sensitivity to the seventeenth-century crises of truth marks him, above any other feature, as a representative man of his age.”

Jeremiah S . Finch‘s Sir Thomas Browne: A Doctor’s Li& ofscience and Faith (1950) treats Browne’s writings as “focussing-points of seventeenth-century thought.” E. S. Merton’s Science and Imagination in Sir Thomas Browne (1949) stresses the seriousness ofBrowne and of his dedication to science and the scientific method, but suggests that “Browne’s ambi- tion confficted with his gift; his ambition was to be thorough and professional, his gift to be discursive and lyrical.”

Joan Bennett’s Sir Thomas Browne: A Mart ofAchievement in Literature (1962) discusses Browne’s response to experience and concludes that “we find in Browne’s writings whether in his thirties or in his seventies, the same spirit of inquiry, the same respect for the pursuit of knowledge and the same homage to all who have zealously sought it.” In Sir Thomas Browne, u Study in Religious Philosophy, and ed. (~gso) , Wdliam P. Dunn

sees Browne as “one of the truest mirrors of the seventeenth century” and as a “religious romanticist. His thought lacks the sharp outhes of Calvin’s or Bacon’s or Hooker’s.” U n k e many of his contemporaries “Browne is little affected by religious terrorism. He is not to be frightened into heaven.”

11. I N D I V I D U A L WORKS

The general studies above (I, B) by Bennett, Dunn, Finch, Huntley, Merton, and Nathan- son include discussions of the following works and should also be consulted. A. Religio Medici. Frank L. Huntley’s “The Publication and Immediate Reception of Religio Medici,” Library Quarterly, XXY ( I ~ s s ) , 203-18, is a useful introduction to Browne’s best-known work and its impact upon early readers. In a chapter in The Elo- quent “I”Joan Webber concentrates upon Religio Medici and notes that “wherever one begins in the Religio, the persona is dominant, inextricably involved in every aspect of its style. Also everywhere, implied and expressed, are the persona’s contradictory character- istics of change and changelessness, which provide a valuable starting-point because they explain and foreshadow so much else.” For Norman J. Endicott in h s study in Essays in English Literaturefrom the Renaissance to the Victorian Age Presented to A. S. P. Woodhouse, ed. Millar MacLure and F. W. Watt (1964). “Religio Medici is a self-portrait which hides as well as reveals. It presents its author in a way which allows for direct expression of temperanlent and opinions and also the stylization of seventeenth-century virtuosity.”

Margaret Wiley’s chapter on the Religio in The Subtle Knot: Creative Sccpticisni in Seven- teenth-Century England (19~2) notes that “undergirding all Browne’s paradoxes, which must be understood against a background of their origins, is his conviction ofman’s essen- tial duality. Indeed, the obverse side of dualism is always paradox. Thus apparent harmony is always an unstable equilibrium needing constantly to be reachieved.” Attempting to

274 English Literary Renaissance discover the enduring appeal of the Religio, Margaret Bottrall in Every Man a Phoenix: Studies in Seventeenth-Century Autobiography (1958) concludes that the ‘‘final result is an artistically satisfying whole, yet there is something private and arbitrary about the whole book which gives it its peculiar charm.”

B. Pseudodoxia Epidemicu. Robert R. Cawley in “The Timeliness of Pseudodoxia Epidem- ica,” Studies in Sir Thomas Browne (1965), sees Browne as a serious scientist who “was concerned with things that were of live interest, not merely to the common people but often to the most enlightened minds of his day.”

C. Urn Burial and T h e Garden of Cyrus. In “Sir Thomas Browne: The Relationship of Urn Burial and T h e Garden OfCyrus,” SP, LIII (1956), 204-19, Frank L. Huntley relates the two works thematically and stylistically, establishing once and for all that they “stand together by design rather than by accident.” For Huntley they are clearly related in three important ways: ( I ) “in their subject matter, as two parts of a whole, yet eternally op- posed”; (2) “in their epistemologies, as they pass from ignorance to knowledge”; ( 3 ) “in their images, which take us in circles from darkness to light to darkness again, from womb to urn to new birth, from the ‘sleep’ of death to drowsiness when the ‘quincunx of heaven runs low’ and ‘the huntsmen are up in America’.”

For Margaret A. Heideman, “Hydriotaphia and T h e Garden o f c y r n s : A Paradox and a Cosmic Vision,” UTQ, XIX ( I ~ s o ) , 235-46, “the peak ofBrowne’s imagery is reached in the creation ofa framework formed by the reiteration of a symbol or an image in a variety of aspects under one dominant conception. In Hydriotaphia this is the urn-womb symbol; and it is the image of light in T h e Garden of Cyrus.”

George Williamson’s “The Purple of Urn Burial,” MP, LXII (1964), 110-17, defines the rational structure of Urn Burial as a movement from the “consideration of the physical urn and body to the realm of shadow and soul in his quest for the preservation of unity.”

D. Other Works. Norman J. Endicott’s “Sir Thomas Browne’s Letter to a Friend,” UTQ, XXXVI (1966), 68-86, notes the “ironic detachment” of the work and suggests that the “comparison of A Letter in its manuscript and printed forms shows us its occasional nature and the degree to which it was modified to become more ideal and typical than imme- diate and personal.”

In “The Occasion and Date of Sir Thomas Browne’s A Letter to a Friend,” MP, XLVIII

( I ~ s I ) , 157-71, Frank L. Huntley identifies the patient as Robert Loveday (died May 1656), the friend as Sir John Pettus. He suggests that the letter was written in 1656. Endi- cott questions Huntley’s conclusions in “Browne’s Letter to a Friend,” TLS, September IS,

1966, p. 868. Huntley defends his dating and the identification of recipient and patient in “Browne’s Letter to a Friend,” TLS, February g, 1967, p. I 16.

111. STUDIES O F SELECTED TOPICS The general studies above (I, B) by Bennett, Finch, Huntley, Merton, and Nathanson should also be consulted.

A. Prose Style. In “The Style of Sir Thomas Browne,” KR, XIII ( I ~ s I ) , 647-87, Austin Warren distinguishes three distinct styles in Browne: high, represented by The Garden ,y Cyrus; middle, represented by Religio Medici; and low, represented by Pseudodoxia Epi-

Dennis G. Donovan 275 demica. Joan Webber’s essay in The Eloquent “I” (1968) views Browne’s prose as “entirely responsive to seventeenth-century doubts and tensions.” In his Studies in Six i7th Century Writers (1966), James Roy King notes that Browne “succunibed, a budding amphibian, to the great temptations which his age offered-the temptations to reduce ineffable in- sights to words and to couch these words in the grand style.”

Michael Moloney’s “Metre and Cursus in Sir Thomas Browne’s Prose,” JEGP, LVIII

(1959), 60-67, concludes that “it would be difficult to exaggerate the significance of the classical cadences or cursus in English prose of the seventeenth century.” Answering the criticism of Croll, Williamson, and others, William Whallan in “Hebraic Synonymy in Sir Thomas Browne,” ELH, XXVIII (1961), 3 3 5-52. documents the unmistakable stylistic influence of the Old Testament.

The lone dissenting voice to the generally accepted view of Browne as a great prose stylist is that of Gilbert Phelps in an essay in Vol. 111 of The Pelican Guide to English Litera- ture, ed. Boris Ford (1956): “By comparison with the variety and richness of Donne’s language and imagery-subtle, witty, intellectually tough, at the same time that it is vivid, sensuous, and dramatic-Browne’s stylistic resources often seem threadbare and his effects limited and contrived.”

B. Sources andhfluences. George Yost’s “Sir Thomas Browne and Aristotle,” in Studies in Sir Thomas Browne (1965), discusses the conservatism of the seventeenth-century univer- sities and the predominance of Aristotle in their curricula. He also notes Browne’s heavy indebtedness in his scientific writing to Aristotle’s “Book of Animals.”

In “Sir Thomas Browne and His Reading,” Studies in Sir Thomas Browne (1965), Robert R. Cawley documents Browne’s wide-ranging learning. Using the section on the river Nile in Pseudodoxia Epidemica as his example, Cawley discusses in detail Browne’s reading and his characteristic use of sources.

“A Note on Spenser and Sir Thomas Browne,” MLR, LXII (1967)~ 14-16, by Malcolm South suggests that in the allusion to Philoxenus in Pseudodoxia Epidemica Browne might have been remembering the grotesque procession of sins in Book I, Canto 4 of Spenser’s Faerie Queene, especially the portrait of Gluttony.

Jeremiah Finch, “Browne Index,” TLS, June 15, 1967, p. 548, notes the existence (in card file form) of the index to the rare 1711 Catalogue of the sale of libraries owned by Sir Thomas Browne and his son, Edward.

In “Emily Dickinson and Sir Thomas Browne,” AL, XXII ( I ~ s I ) , 455-65, Herbert E. Childs points out several verbal echoes of Browne in her work and discusses their Plato- nism. The most obvious relationship is their peculiar wit and humor.

Ruth M. Vande Kieft’s “ ‘When Big Hearts Strike Together’: The Concussion of Mel- ville and Sir Thomas Browne,” PLL, v (1969), 39-50, notes that Melville read Browne for the first time in 1848 and that the influence of Browne is seen throughout Mardi (pub- lished in 1849).

C. Miscellaneous Topics. Frank L. Huntley’s “Sir Thomas Browne and the Metaphor of the Circle,”jHI, XIV (1953). 353-64, suggests that because of his attachment to the Pla- tonic mode the circle serves as an especially appropriate metaphor for Browne. A. C. Howell in “Sir Thomas Browne as Wit and Humorist,’’ SP (1g45), 564-77, discusses Browne as a conscious humorist and cites numerous examples of his ability to provoke mirth.

276 English Literary Renaissance D. State ofcriticism. Browne has been fortunate in his editors. Well-annotated and edited texts of all the major works are readily available. Since 1945 scholars and critics have thoroughly examined Browne as t h d e r and conscious prose stylist. Frank L. Huntley’s article on the relationship of Urn Burial and The Garden OfCyrus (1, B) has opened the way for further discussions of Browne’s literary artistry. And the placing of Browne in the Renaissance tradition of paradox has heightened appreciation of his writings, especially Religio Medici and Urn Burial.

IV. C A N O N A N D TEXT

A. Dating Problems. Browne’s canon is not a major problem. There is some controversy concerning the dating of A Letter to a Friend. The relevant articles are discussed in 11, D.

B. Other Editions I. Editions Of Multiple Works. Hydriotaphia; Urne-Burial!; Christian Morals; On Dreams, ed. Russell Kirk (1956); Hydriotaphia and The Garden Of Cyrus, ed. Frank L.

C. Textual Studies. In “The First Edition of Religio Medici,” HLB, n (1948), 22-3 I , Eliza- beth Cook questions the usual ordering of issues of the first edition. Keynes accepts Cook‘s ordering, “Sir Thomas Browne’s Religio Medici,” TLS, April 18, 1952, p. 265. The text of Urn Burial is discussed by John Carter in “Browne’s Urne Burial,” Library, 5th Ser., 11 (1947), 191-92. A copy of Urn Burial with Browne’s MS corrections receives Carter’s attention in “Browne’s Hydriotaphia,” TLS, August 30, 1957, p. 519; and in “ ‘The Iniq- uity of Oblivion Foiled’,” BC, xv (1966), 279-82, Carter locates and comments on the twelve extant copies of Urn Burial containing Browne’s marginalia. Jeremiah S. Finch provides a textual note: “The Norfolk Persuaders of Sir Thomas Browne: A Variant Copy of the 1712 Posthumous Works,” PULC, XI (ISSO), 199-201.
