Description:
The Providence of Wit is deeply concerned with how waxing and waning eighteenth-century artistic, historical, and ontological assumptions help illumine the form of major works by major authors between about 1660 and 1760. Lucidly written, handsomely illustrated, and critically compelling, The Providence of Wit remains a brilliant exposition of the Christian Humanist point of view. It also remains essential reading for students of the REstoration and the eighteenth century. -- Howard D. Weinbrot, Vilas and Quintana Professor, University of Wisconsin, Madison
