To the readers who ask themselves: 'What is science?', this volume
provides an answer from an early modern perspective, whereby
science included such various intellectual pursuits as history,
poetry, occultism and philosophy. By exploring particular aspects
of Shakespearean drama, this collection illustrates how literature
and science were inextricably linked in the early modern period. In
order to bridge the gap between Renaissance literature and early
modern science, the essays collected here focus on a complex
intellectual territory situated at the point of juncture between
humanism, natural magic and craftsmanship. It is argued that
science and literature constantly interacted, thus revealing that
what we now call 'literature' and what we choose to describe as
'science' were not clear-cut categories in Shakespeare's days but
rather a part of common intellectual territory.
