Description
Summary:Thomas Wright's The Passions of the Mind (1601) did not 'explicitly acknowledge acquaintance with Juan Huarte de San Juan and The Examen or with Carew and The Examination', even if from this it did not follow that Wright was oblivious to Huarte's treatise. Three years after the first printing of The Passions, Wright's work underwent a second edition that almost doubled the first in length. The 1604 edition, unlike the 1601, does overtly mention Huarte by name as well as the title of his book.
