that was a virtual educational and economic take-off. Ramus,
with the whole scholastic drive behind him was able to
translate it into the visual “humanism of the new merchant
classes.” Such is the simplicity and crudity of the spatial
models promoted by Ramus that no cultivated mind, and
nobody sensitive to language, could be bothered with them.
And yet it was this crudity that gave him his appeal to the self-
educated and to the merchant classes. Just how large a
section of the new reading public these were has been
demonstrated in the great study of Middle-Class Culture in
Elizabethan England by L. B. Wright.
