Bridging mathematical science, semantics, rhetoric, grammar, and major poems, Judith H. Anderson seeks to negotiate writings from multiple disciplines in the shared terms of poiesis and figuration rather than as cultural opposites. Analogy, a type of metaphor, has always been the connector of the known to the unknown, the sensible to the infinite. Anderson’s study moves from the figuration of light and death to the history of analogy and its pertinence to light in physics and metaphysics, from Kepler to Donne, Spenser, and Milton. Topics proliferate: creativity, optics, the relation of literature to science, the methodology of thought and argument, and the processes of narrative, discovery, and interpretation.SCIENCE / Philosophy & Social AspectsbisacshLITERARY CRITICISM / RenaissancebisacshAllegoryAnalogy in literatureMetaphor in literatureDeath in literatureEnglish literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismElectronic books.Analogy.Death.Donne.Kepler.Light.Literature and science.Milton.Optics.Spenser.metaphor.SCIENCE / Philosophy & Social Aspects.LITERARY CRITICISM / Renaissance.Allegory.Analogy in literature.Metaphor in literature.Death in literature.English literatureHistory and criticism.820.9/3548LIT019000SCI075000bisacshAnderson Judith H.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut476890DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910154725703321Light and Death2836498UNINA
