The language of 'wonder', a particularly Jacobean phenomenon, suggests that intense artistic experiences, like experiences of shock and horror, can make the spectator or listener – as Milton put it – 'marble with too much conceiving'. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Critical Survey is the property of Berghahn Books and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
