Cubierta deslucida con roces. «The seventeenth century witnessed the crucial conflict between the medieval point of view and the Renaissance mind, between the old faith and the new philosophy. In his famous study of this critical age whose consequences have pervaded all subsequent history and resound even in our own day, Professor Willey relates the thought of the century to religion and poetry, and traces its influence in such figures as Bacon, Donne, Descartes, Milton, Hobbes, Locke, and Wordsworth.»
