Wonderful Weather: Floods and Foreboding in 17th-Century Britain
An essay on The Public Domain Review explores how people in 17th-century Britain interpreted floods, storms and other extreme weather, which were often read as omens and portents of divine displeasure or political upheaval. Drawing on historical pamphlets and writings, it shows how weather events were recorded, sensationalised and given religious meaning, offering a window into early modern attitudes toward climate and catastrophe.
Why now: Readers are drawn to timely historical perspectives on extreme weather and its cultural interpretation.
