South And The Dark Canon Of The Political Sermons Of The Seventeenth Century England: A Close Reading On Robert South’s Sermons.

Abstract

This paper aims to arrest the atmosphere and tendency of the political milieu that influenced the very psychology of South’s writings of the sermons of that time. South, the post-Reformation preacher of England, with some stark political necromancy and the fading tendencies of the tension between Protestant and Catholic, stated to cogent the importance of the sermons through the layers and textures of politics of England. South, by no means, with his most profound sensibility of dubious anxiety and tension, vestiges the political upheaval of seventeenth-century England with which he had gone through and experienced the cold relationship of the two communities- the Protestantism and the Catholicism- of England. The focal point of this paper is to clarify South’s close understanding of how politics had deeply been fused with the stasis of the religion and the religious sensibility of men who came out in search of the perfect dominion over the new era of Restoration England.
