The thirty-years war forced everyone to witness mass death, and English people got to see a king beheaded. You couldn't be doe-eyed about life after that. The authors who wrote in that time wrote some real hardcore shit. Thomas Motherfuckin Hobbes was writing at that time. Renee Descartes. Real badasses in any era.
18th century authors were a lot more boring and had a lot less to say, and the 19th century was even worse. The only influential work we got in the 19th century was the Communist Manifesto. Even today that's the only 19th century work that's interesting to read. 20th century was just a snooze-fest, jesus. |

In the middle of the negotiations he opened hostilities and the Danes turned with anger against his envoys. Coyet succeeded in escaping, but the second minister, Steno Bielke, and the rest of the staff were arrested and thrown into prison. Pufendorf was held in captivity for eight months. He occupied himself in meditating upon what he had read in the works of Hugo Grotius and Thomas Hobbes, and mentally constructed a system of universal law.
