| 520 | _a"Character Writings of the Seventeenth Century" by Henry Morley is a scholarly collection that reflects on a specific literary form prevalent in the seventeenth century, likely compiled in the late 19th century. This work serves as an anthology of character sketches that explore various human traits and societal roles typical of that era, drawing on the contributions of notable writers like Theophrastus, Sir Thomas Overbury, and Joseph Hall, among others. It meticulously examines how virtues and vices were personified through detailed descriptions, offering insights into moral and ethical considerations relevant to the time. The opening of the text outlines the origins of character writing, tracing its lineage back to classical figures such as Theophrastus. It describes the intent behind character sketches, which aims to delineate human qualities rather than individuals. Through examples like the humorous yet critical portrayal of "Stupidity," the reader is introduced to the style and substance of character writings, showcasing how common types—like the Ruffler, the Timist, and the Flatterer—were depicted with wit and a keen understanding of human nature. The introductory section sets the tone for the rest of the collection, inviting readers to engage with historical characterizations that resonate through time and illustrate the shared human experience.
