Synopsis

This study shows how the musical reflection of English intellectuals Peter Sterry (1613-72), Richard Roach (1662-1730), William Stukeley (1687-1765) and David Hartley (1705-57) expressed alternative conceptions of God, the world, and the human psyche through a language of music. Challenging conventional classifications of a seventeenth-century 'Scientific Revolution' and an eighteenth-century 'Enlightenment', this book will be of interest to scholars of early English intellectual history and theology, musicology and the social history of music.
