This book explores the role of wax as an important conceptual
material used to work out the nature and limits of the early modern
human. By surveying the use of wax in early modern cultural spaces
such as the stage and the artist's studio and in literary and
philosophical texts, including those by William Shakespeare, John
Donne, Rene Descartes, Margaret Cavendish, and Edmund Spenser, this
book shows that wax is a flexible material employed to define,
explore, and problematize a wide variety of early modern relations
including the relationship of man and God, man and woman, mind and
the world, and man and machine.
