Clarendons Historical Writing in Context Problems of Literary Historiography in Seventeenth- Century England, The Writing of Clarendons History, Clarendons Literary Art The Literary Unity of the History of the Rebellion, Clarendons Historical Prose, Narrative Structure in the History, The History's Thematic Elements of Structure, The Man Behind the Historian Some Circumstances of Clarendons Life, Clarendons Self-View, The Conflicts of the Public Man and the Historian, Clarendons Literary Background Early Literary Endeavors and Friends, The Literary Progression: From Poetry to History, Clarendons Literary Experiences and His Writing, Clarendons Achievement in Perspective: The Character Sketches The Literary and Personal Genesis of Clarendons Character Sketches Clarendons Art of Portraiture and the Narrative Functions of the Characters The Characters and the History Appendix: Hydes Poems. Clarendon and the Rhetoric of Historical Form is the first major evaluation from a literary point of view of the writings of Edward Hyde, the first Earl of Clarendon and the most important English historiographer of the seventeenth century. As an early reformer in the Long Parliament, as an adviser to Charles I and Charles II, as the major architect of the Restoration on the Royalist side, and as Lord Chancellor of England from 1660 to 1667, Clarendon played a crucial role in determining the course of English history during and after the tumultuous years of the civil wars. As a historian and a literary stylist, he produced the History of the Rebellion, generally regarded as the greatest historical work written in England during the seventeenth century. Martine Watson Brownley evaluates Clarendons literary abilities and achievements, focusing on his prose style, narrative form, and thematic structure; on biographical influences on his writing; and on his literary background and associations. She also places Clarendon in the context of the development of English literary historiography during the seventeenth century. Various political and literary changes for example, the antiquarian movement, the civil wars, and alterations in English prose and narrative stylesmade the seventeenth century a particularly crucial era in the evolution of an English historiography that would lead to historical works which were also classics of literature. Brownley demonstrates that, through his experiments in style and structure in the History of the Rebellion, and particularly through the imaginative overview which he evolved for and in his work, Clarendon made the most significant advances in English literary historiography before the late eighteenth-century triumvirate of Gibbon, Robertson, and Hume. Clarendon and the Rhetoric of Historical Form will be valuable to scholars interested in historiography, prose and narrative style, and seventeenth-century literature and history. MARTINE WATSON BROWNLEY is Associate Professor of English at Emory University. She is co-editor of Mothering the Mind; editor of Tieo Dialogues: Of the Want of Respect Due to Age; Concerning Education (1727), by Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon; and author of numerous articles on Clarendon, on Edward Gibbon, and on various women writers.
