Science on Stage in Early Modern Spain features essays by leading
scholars in the fields of literary studies and the history of
science, exploring the relationship between technical innovations
and theatrical events that incorporated scientific content into
dramatic productions. Focusing on Spanish dramas between 1500 and
1700, through the birth and development of its playhouses and
coliseums and the phenomenal success of its major writers, this
collection addresses a unique phenomenon through the most popular,
versatile, and generous medium of the time. The contributors tackle
subjects and disciplines as diverse as alchemy, optics, astronomy,
acoustics, geometry, mechanics, and mathematics to reveal how
theatre could be used to deploy scientific knowledge. While Science
on Stage contributes to cultural and performance studies it also
engages with issues of censorship, the effect of the Spanish
Inquisition on the circulation of ideas, and the influence of the
Eastern traditions in Spain.
