In the six years following his return to England he published all of his most significant works. John Locke’s Publicationsĭuring his decades of service to Shaftesbury, John Locke had been writing. Locke would follow his patron into exile a year later, returning only after the Glorious Revolution had placed the Protestant William III on the throne.
When that failed, Shaftesbury began to plot armed resistance and was forced to flee to Holland in 1682. Shaftesbury led the 1679 “exclusion” campaign to bar the Catholic duke of York (the future James II) from the royal succession. That year he supervised a dangerous liver operation on Shaftesbury that likely saved his patron’s life.įor the next two decades, Locke’s fortunes were tied to Shaftesbury, who was first a leading minister to Charles II and then a founder of the opposing Whig Party. The two struck up a friendship that blossomed into full patronage, and a year later Locke was appointed physician to Shaftesbury’s household. In 1666 Locke met the parliamentarian Anthony Ashley Cooper, later the first Earl of Shaftesbury. He also studied medicine extensively and was an associate of Robert Hooke, Robert Boyle and other leading Oxford scientists.
Before she married the two had exchanged love poems, and on his return from exile, Locke moved into Lady Damaris and her husband’s household.īetween 16, John Locke was a student and then lecturer at Christ Church, Oxford, where he focused on the standard curriculum of logic, metaphysics and classics. Using his wartime connections, he placed his son in the elite Westminster School.ĭid you know? John Locke’s closest female friend was the philosopher Lady Damaris Cudworth Masham.

There are some adult suggestive themes in this volume, but naked bits are off-page or cleverly covered.John Locke was born in 1632 in Wrighton, Somerset.
The art overall is stylized with detailed backgrounds, especially of the Lovecraft estate, while characters are appropriately gritty. There is so much packed into this story that I was amazed it was only 160 pages. I enjoyed the backstory of the drama teacher and his personal tragedy that made him a real person in a matter of panels. This volume also contains a fair amount of history and travel across timelines as people remember Lucas because of something Zack does. I love the vivid illustrations of Bode's young mind, and the horror that is the embodiment of Kinsey's fear. What a dangerous and intriguing concept - to be able to alter your mind, for better or worse, or to alter other people's minds as Zack does.
