These essays throw new light on the complex relations between
science, literature and rhetoric as avenues to discovery in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Scholars from a variety of
disciplinary backgrounds examine the agency of early modern poets,
playwrights, essayists, philosophers, natural philosophers and
artists in remaking their culture and reforming ideas about human
understanding. Analyzing the ways in which the works of such
diverse writers as Shakespeare, Bacon, Hobbes, Milton, Cavendish,
Boyle, Pope and Behn related to contemporary epistemological
debates, these essays move us toward a better understanding of
interactions between the sciences and the humanities during a
seminal phase in the emergence of modern Western thought.
