초록
The Renaissance England between late 16th century and 17th century was an era where politics and religion were interweaved intricately. Amidst this complex environment, two different traditions of religious liberty arose: the negative liberty and the positive liberty. Literary works of Donne and Milton demonstrate and reflect the two different traditions of religious liberty in an elaborated manner. Donne's perspective of negative liberty, namely liberal toleration, emerges most fully in his 1610 treatise Pseudo-Martyr. The aim of the work is to encourage Roman Catholics in England to take the Oath of Allegiance to the English king. In Donne's “Satire 3”, we can observe how he dramatizes the conflict between the individual conscience and civil law, raising the question of a state religion's influence on the individual conscience. For Milton, the subject of religious liberty is what he had been concerned over his entire career. His first prose tracts criticize the religious conformity imposed by the bishops, and his last prose tract, Of True Religion, argues for the relaxation of laws that limited the right to worship of nonconforming Protestant sects. Milton wrote five antiprelatical pamphlets which criticized the English church’s power and structure in a period when England was going through the first major clash over bishops and liturgy. Thus Milton has been noted as an advocate of positive liberty, liberty of conscience, who asserted that religious beliefs should be allowed to be presented regardless of its form of presentation. However, it should be also marked that did not extend religious freedom to Popery, and his concept of religious liberty was limited to the freedom of the press and toleration of Protestant. The delicate complexities of religious liberty are subjects of debate in the contemporary societies as they had been in the Renaissance England, and the contrasting literature of Donne and Milton upon liberty provide us valuable insights into this intricate matter.
Abstract
The Renaissance England between late 16th century and 17th century was an era where politics and religion were interweaved intricately. Amidst this complex environment, two different traditions of religious liberty arose: the negative liberty and the positive liberty. Literary works of Donne and Milton demonstrate and reflect the two different traditions of religious liberty in an elaborated manner. Donne's perspective of negative liberty, namely liberal toleration, emerges most fully in his 1610 treatise Pseudo-Martyr. The aim of the work is to encourage Roman Catholics in England to take the Oath of Allegiance to the English king. In Donne's “Satire 3”, we can observe how he dramatizes the conflict between the individual conscience and civil law, raising the question of a state religion's influence on the individual conscience. For Milton, the subject of religious liberty is what he had been concerned over his entire career. His first prose tracts criticize the religious conformity imposed by the bishops, and his last prose tract, Of True Religion, argues for the relaxation of laws that limited the right to worship of nonconforming Protestant sects. Milton wrote five antiprelatical pamphlets which criticized the English church’s power and structure in a period when England was going through the first major clash over bishops and liturgy. Thus Milton has been noted as an advocate of positive liberty, liberty of conscience, who asserted that religious beliefs should be allowed to be presented regardless of its form of presentation. However, it should be also marked that did not extend religious freedom to Popery, and his concept of religious liberty was limited to the freedom of the press and toleration of Protestant. The delicate complexities of religious liberty are subjects of debate in the contemporary societies as they had been in the Renaissance England, and the contrasting literature of Donne and Milton upon liberty provide us valuable insights into this intricate matter.
