English Literature and the Disciplines of Knowledge, Early Modern to Eighteenth Century - A Trade for Light

This volume focuses on how the conceptual and performative aspects of science connect it in important ways with literary discourses. It addresses the reception of science by authors of literature, as well as how 'mimesis' intersects with scientific discourse.
