Nation and Nurture in Seventeenth-Century English Literature connects changing        seventeenth-century English views of maternal nurture to the rise of the modern        nation, especially between 1603 and 1675. Maternal nurture gains new prominence in        the early modern cultural imagination at the precise moment when England undergoes a        major paradigm shift -- from the traditional, dynastic body politic, organized by        organic bonds, to the post-dynastic, modern nation, comprised ofsymbolic and        affective relations. The book also demonstrates that shifting early modern        perspectives on Judeo-Christian relations deeply inform the period's interlocking        reassessments of maternal nurture and the nation, especially in the case of Milton.          The book's five chapters analyze a wide range of reformedand traditional texts,        including A pitiless Mother, William Gouge's Of Domesticall Duties, Shakespeare's        Macbeth, Charles I's Eikon Basilike, and Milton's Paradise Lost, and Samson        Agonistes. Equal attention is paid to such early modern visual images as The power        of women (a late sixteenth-century Dutch engraving), William Marshall's engraved        frontispiece to Richard Braithwaite's The English Gentleman and Gentlewoman(1641),        and Peter Paul Rubens's painting of Pero and Cimon or Roman Charity (1630). The book        argues that competing early modern figurations of the nurturing mother mediate in        politically implicated ways between customary biblical models of English kingship        and innovative Hebraic/Puritan paradigms of Englishness.
