John Locke: Correspondence: Volume IX, Supplement: Clarendon Edition of the Works of John Locke

Editat de Mark Goldie
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 sep 2023
This is the twenty-first volume in the Clarendon Edition of the Works of John Locke. The series aims to provide authoritative critical editions of all the writings of one of the most important intellectuals in the early-modern Anglophone world. The present volume completes the Correspondence edited by the late E. S. de Beer, published between 1976 and 1989. It contains some 300 documents: newly discovered or augmented, or newly collected, letters by or to Locke, or between his close associates. New finds have emerged from archives worldwide; previously known letters are now improved from new manuscripts or supplemented by enclosures that had become detached from them; 'epistles dedicatory' in books by Locke or addressed to him are collected; third-party letters with direct bearing on Locke are included; as also Locke's agreements with publishers for the printing of his books. The volume covers Locke's manifold interests, from childrearing to medicine to cartography; from the exercise of patronage to the political economy of England's burgeoning empire; from the management of his Somerset tenants to relations with fellow philosopher Damaris Masham; from a trial for heresy to surveillance letters when Locke was suspect; from book collecting to calendrical reform. Locke's critics and vindicators are here, attacking and defending his published works. Considerable material has come to light bearing on Locke's encounters with Carolina and policies when a founding member of the Board of Trade and Plantations. The volume is supported by Mark Goldie's introduction and by an extensive explanatory editorial apparatus.

Recenzii

This handsomely produced volume is well worth its while ... The result of Goldie's choice of letters and of the generally excellent editorial material which surrounds them is a book not only in which one might browse with pleasure but also which might be read systematically.
Mark Goldie has now performed a vital task for all serious students of Locke: he has given us a selection of the most important of these letters in a single volume that is light in weight and elegantly annotated. The letters collected here-both to and from Locke-can be read from start to finish, telling the story of a man who was to find himself both at the centre of the 'commonwealth of learning' and of the struggle against political and religious tyranny in the British Isles.
Each of the sixteen temporally separate groups of letters is prefaced with a couple of pages of useful biography. Also there is an excellent overall thirty-page introduction.
Mark Goldie's edition of Selected Correspondence is a timely attempt to unlock this cabinet of secrets for a much larger audience ... His knowledge of Locke and his historical setting is exemplary ... He faces the formidable challenge with tact and composure ... fascinating to read, and often illuminating in detail ... It fully deserves to carry the pleasures and insights of the correspondence to a much wider circle of readers.
