"Beginning with an analysis of Shakespeare's The Tempest and building to a new reading
of Milton's Paradise Lost, author Seth Lobis charts a profound change in the cultural
meaning of sympathy during the seventeenth century. Having long referred to magical
affinities in the universe, sympathy was increasingly understood to be a force of
connection between people. By examining sympathy in literary and philosophical writing
of the period, Lobis illuminates an extraordinary shift in human understanding"
