This book sets out to reconstruct and analyze the rationality of
Phineas Fletcher's use of figurality in The Purple Island (1633) a
poetic allegory of human anatomy. To this end, textual analyses of
The Purple Island lead via bibliographical, biographical,
conceptual, formal, and linguistic connections to other works of
literature, natural philosophy and theology, and to anatomical
demonstrations.
