Inventing Immortality: Heterodoxy and Histories of the Soul in Early Enlightenment England
Pfeffer, Michelle (Calleva Postdoctoral Research Associate, Calleva Postdoctoral Research Associate, Magdalen College, University of Oxford)
Around 1700, England saw a heated public debate about the soul's immortality. Two unlikely figures--a lawyer and a physician--claimed this belief was a pagan invention and wrongly adopted by Christianity. This book explores how everyday readers reshaped big debates, revealing the early Enlightenment as a remix of old arguments in new hands.
