Right reason, vital to English humanism—an idea metaphysical, ethical, and religious—informed Western thought from Socrates to Milton. “What good we know, we are,” as Robert Greville put it, “our act of understanding being an act of union.” The idea’s influence on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English literature is clarified through its classic, stoic, and Christian backgrounds. Stressing its adaptation in major English writers, rather than historical causes, this analysis elicits a consecutive, coherent pattern of great importance for students of Renaissance humanism.
