Abstract

 
 
 Hannah Dawson’s book, the latest in Cambridge University Press’s ‘Ideas in Context’ series, is a valuable contribution to the history of ideas. More than half of the book is devoted to the background and context of early modern thinking about language, with a final third or more focusing on Locke. Marshalling an impressive array of sources, some of which are only available in manuscript form, Dawson provides an important resource for those interested not just in Locke’s thought but in the intellectual climate generally. Though there is much useful material here, I have some reservations.
