Of interest to interdisciplinary historians as well as those in
various other fields, this book presents the first publication of
14 poems ranging from 12 to 3,000 lines. The poems are printed in
the chronological order of their composition, from Elizabethan to
Augustan times, but nine of them are verse translations of works
from earlier periods in the development of alchemy. Each has a
textual and historical introduction and explanatory note by the
Editor. Renaissance alchemy is acknowledged as an important element
in the histories of early modern science and medicine. This book
emphasises these poems' expression of and shaping influence on
religious, social and political values and institutions of their
time too and is a useful reference work with much to offer for
cultural studies and literary studies as well as science and
history.
