Context paragraphs:
Na Hye-sok: Na Hyeseok (Hangul: 나혜석 ; Hanja: 羅蕙錫 , 28 April 1896 – 10 December 1948) was a Korean feminist, poet, writer, painter, educator, and journalist.  Her pen name was Jeongwol (Hangul: 정월, 晶月).  She was a pioneering Korean feminist writer and painter.  She was the first female professional painter and the first feminist writer in Korea.  She created some of the earliest Western paintings in Korea, and published feminist novels and short stories.  She became well known as a feminist with her criticism against the marital institution in the early 20th century.

Hermeticism (history of science): Hermeticism is a historiographical term describing the work that attempts to reconstruct the mode of thought held by 17th century scientists.  It primarily traces out the connections of Renaissance (16th century) modes of thought with those of the Scientific Revolution (17th century).  This type of analysis began with English historians of science in the 1960s.  This category of history of science work has largely subsumed earlier academic philosophers' work on the problem of transition from Aristotelianism to 17th century science.

Welbeck Academy: The Welbeck Academy or Welbeck Circle is a name that has been given to the loose intellectual grouping around William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the first half of the 17th century.  It takes its name from Welbeck Abbey, a country house in Nottinghamshire that was a Cavendish family seat.  Another term used is Newcastle Circle.  The geographical connection is, however, more notional than real; and these terms have been regarded also as somewhat misleading.  Cavendish was Viscount Mansfield in 1620, and moved up the noble ranks to Duke, step by step; "Newcastle" applies by 1628.

Álvaro Cepeda Samudio: Álvaro Cepeda Samudio (March 30, 1926 – October 12, 1972) was a Colombian journalist, novelist, short story writer, and filmmaker.  Within Colombia and the rest of Latin America, he is known in his own right as an important and innovative writer and journalist, largely inspiring much of the artistically, intellectually and politically active climate for which this particular time and place, that of mid-century Colombia, has become known.  His fame is considerably more quaint outside his home country, where it derives primarily from his standing as having been part of the influential artistic and intellectual circle in Colombia in which fellow writer and journalist Gabriel García Márquez—with whom he was also a member of the more particularized Barranquilla Group—and painter Alejandro Obregón also played prominent roles.  Only one of his works, "La casa grande", has received considerable notice beyond the Spanish-speaking world, having been translated into several languages, English and French among them; his fame as a writer has therefore been significantly curtailed in the greater international readership, as the breadth of his literary and journalistic output has reached few audiences beyond those of Latin America and Latin American literary scholars.

Proposals for an English Academy: During the early part of the 17th century, and persisting in some form into the early 18th century, there were a number of proposals for an English Academy: some form of learned institution, conceived as having royal backing and a leading role in the intellectual life of the nation.  Definite calls for an English Academy came in 1617, based on the Italian model dating back to the 16th century; they were followed up later, after the 1635 founding of the French "Académie", by John Dryden (1664), John Evelyn (1665), and Daniel Defoe (1697).

Mary Astell: Mary Astell (Newcastle upon Tyne, 12 November 1666 – London, 11 May 1731) was an English feminist writer and rhetorician.  Her advocacy of equal educational opportunities for women has earned her the title "the first English feminist."

Judith Drake: Judith Drake (fl.  1670s–1723) was an English intellectual and author who was active in the last decade of the 17th century.  She was part of a circle of intellectuals, authors, and philosophers which included Mary Astell, Lady Mary Chudleigh, Elizabeth Thomas, Elizabeth Elstob, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and John Norris.  She was married to James Drake F.R.S., physician and Tory pamphleteer.  She is remembered in the field of feminist literature for her 1696 essay, "An Essay in Defence of the Female Sex".

Mary Chudleigh: Mary Chudleigh, Lady Chudleigh (August 1656 – 1710) was an English poet who was part of an intellectual circle which included Mary Astell, Elizabeth Thomas, Judith Drake, Elizabeth Elstob, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and John Norris.  In her later years she published a volume of poetry and two volumes of essays, all dealing with feminist themes.  Two of her books were published in four editions during the last ten years of her life.  Her poetry on the theme of human relationships and human reactions has appeared in several anthologies and her feminist essays are still in print.

Caerlaverock Castle: Caerlaverock Castle (from "caer laverock", "lark castle") is a moated triangular castle first built in the 13th century.  It is located on the southern coast of Scotland, 11 km south of Dumfries, on the edge of the Caerlaverock National Nature Reserve.  Caerlaverock was a stronghold of the Maxwell family from the 13th century until the 17th century when the castle was abandoned.  It was besieged by the English during the Wars of Scottish Independence, and underwent several partial demolitions and reconstructions over the 14th and 15th centuries.  In the 17th century, the Maxwells were created Earls of Nithsdale, and built a new lodging within the walls, described as among "the most ambitious early classical domestic architecture in Scotland".  In 1640 the castle was besieged for the last time and was subsequently abandoned.  Although demolished and rebuilt several times, the castle retains the distinctive triangular plan first laid out in the 13th century.  Caerlaverock Castle was built to control trade in early times.

Roger Pratt (architect): Sir Roger Pratt (1620 – 20 February 1684) was an English gentleman-architect of the 17th century.  He designed only five known buildings, but was highly influential, establishing a particularly English type of house, which was widely imitated.  He drew on a range of European influences, and also on the work of Inigo Jones, England's first classical architect.  Pratt also served on official commissions, and in 1668 was the first English architect to be knighted for his services.
