The latter half or the seventeenth century was a time of great social and political upheaval, reflected in the literature of the period in a way which is often bewildering to the modern reader.  Choosing two themes which greatly occupied contemporary writers - the state as an enlarged family, and the family as a state in miniature - Peter Malekin brings both critical insight and recent research in social history to bear on a rich variety of seventeenth century literature.

The book relates to the study of spirit and spirituality; mind, intelligence, consciousness and epistemology; literature and theatre. From a basis in recorded experience it rethinks the nature of spirit and relates spirit to the human mind, and it questions the unprovable assumptions underlying contemporary objectivist and scientific approaches to intelligence, language and knowledge. It develops a model of the mind and extended states of consciousness and uses this to explore the rhythmical structures fundamental to literature and theatre.
