About This Item
[London]: [Printed by Felix Kyngston, for Henry Fetherstone], [1621]. Disbound. Very Good. Disbound folio measuring 8 ½ inches by 13 inches, complete consisting of 1 leaf (2 pages) printed in single column within rules. Lightly dampstained. An interesting catechism. Joseph Hall (15741656) was one of the earliest English satirists, an influential Anglican bishop and devotional author. His contemporaries also knew him as a high-profile controversialist of the early 1640s, although when less visible, he tended to the via media made famous by Richard Hooker, the noted Anglican churchman. Thomas Fuller, who was a contemporary as well as the author of Worthies of England, wrote of Hall that He was commonly called our English Seneca, for the purenesse, plainnesse, and fulnesse of his style. Not unhappy at Controversies, more happy at Comments, very good in his Characters, better in his Sermons, best of all in his Meditations. Despite that fact that Hall was a genuine literary innovator on several fronts, he has been chiefly remembered as the unfortunate recipient of John Milton's later attacks. However, as literary scholars have come to assess the full measure of Hall's literary and ecclesiastical accomplishments, his reputation as a pivotal figure in the Tudor and Jacobean periods has been assured.
