Introduction to the Literature of Europe, Vol. 2 continues Henry Hallam's survey of European letters, first published between 1837 and 1839. This volume covers the first half of the seventeenth century, from 1600 to 1650, and proceeds subject by subject: classical learning and the decline of Greek scholarship, theological writing, speculative philosophy including Bacon and Descartes, moral and political thought and jurisprudence with Grotius, poetry in Italy, Spain, France and England, the drama of Shakespeare's successors and of Lope de Vega, the mathematical and physical sciences of Galileo and Kepler, and finally history, geography and the novel. Hallam reads widely in several languages and judges with the calm of a Whig gentleman-scholar. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
