In the wake of new interest in alchemy as more significant than a
bizarre aberration in rational Western European culture, this
collection examines both alchemical and medical discourses in the
larger context of early modern Europe. How do early scientific
discourses infiltrate other cultural domains such as literature,
philosophy, court life, and the conduct of households? How do these
new contexts deflect scientific pursuits into new directions, and
allow a larger participation in the elaboration of scientific
methods and perspectives? Might there have been a scientific
subculture, particularly surrounding alchemy, which allowed women
to participate in scientific pursuits long before they were
admitted in an investigative capacity into official academic
settings? This volume poses those questions, as a starting point
for a broader discussion of scientific subcultures and their
relationship to the restructuring and questioning of gender roles.
