"This is a really well-written and interesting monograph. But (boredom alert here) it's a monograph on Elizabethan poetry and the prevailing philosophies and naturalistic theories of the average, educated Elizabethan. So if you are not into poetry, this book will probably bore you more than Martha Stewart on the many uses of Kleenex. If you are a poet, though, you might want to read this. Because it's sort of fascinating if you like Shakespeare, Milton and all the other sugar peeps of Elizalit. It's funny all the odd things they believed about the world back then, when physics was just a toddler. But then somebody's going to be typing the same thing about Stephen J. Hawking and Richard Feynman on Goodreads in 2699 C.E., no doubt. This is a small book written in the middle of the last century by a guy who spent his life studying these authors. And he gives you the benefit of all that digestion...drools knowledge into your mouth like some sort of mother bird with a chick. Good pea soup. Don't read it in public or people will run from you. Or mug you."
"Very informative, though somewhat dry. Tillyard draws from numerous sources to support his thesis about the Elizabethan obsession with cosmic order, and he does so admirably, though he winds up belaboring a few points here and there. The one big problem that I had with this book was Tillyard's tendency to include quotes from works that are not written in English without translating them. Fortunately for me, all but two of said quotes were in Latin, which I happen to know well enough to have grasped what he was saying. Most English speakers, however, do not know Latin and would have a hard time understanding some of the points he tries to make, which seems to me to defeat the whole purpose of writing an explicative work such as this. Regardless, this book was well researched and well argued and anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of the over-all English paradigm during the Elizabethan Age would find this book indispensible, provided they kept a Latin/English dictionary on hand."
