- 요약The Ends of Poetry argues that poetry is crucial in shaping a politics centered on preserving existing social relations and institutions in early modernity. The project treats these poems as a substrate of the literature of practical or devotional piety, which was enormously popular in early modern England. Scholarship often considers early modern writings about the apocalypse, usually concerned with imaginative revelations about the end times, an academic genre primarily concerned with the theological niceties of historical eschatology. In reality, apocalyptic discourses prominently feature in practical piety, sharpening the stakes of devotional lessons to cultivate daily habits. Poetry is a key genre in which apocalyptics and practical piety converge to frame political conformity as a dynamic and experiential process through carefully managing embodied acts. What I call 'devotional apocalyptics' enables poets to domesticate the apocalypse to maintain existing social arrangements and relations even under conditions of severe duress.My introduction distinguishes what I see as a devotional genre of apocalyptic writing at the time, and how this impulse for quietist piety through devotion recruits the help of early modern poetic theory to articulate a political horizon of passivity. The first chapter begins by unpacking how Spenserian stanzas in Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene domesticate apocalyptic paradigms by functioning as rhetorical instruments to discipline the poetic narrative and stabilize readerly habits. Chapter Two centers on how George Herbert's poems about dying accommodate anxieties around dying to help one explore how one can train to obey forces larger than oneself, thus nurturing habits of obedience based on pacifying affections through lyric verses. In the third chapter, I explore how Henry Vaughan and Hester Pulter see the apocalypse as affording imaginative forms and rites for devotion, useful to preserve politically obedient subjects even as traditional churchly institutions were under attack. The final chapter looks at how John Milton's Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained model practices of passivity in conditions of political repression through the use of apocalyptic synchronisms. The coda meditates on the possibility and limits of resistance against political passivity in Milton's Samson Agonistes.
