The book documents how what have become our two cultures of belief define themselves through a shared aesthetics that understands knowledge as an act of making. Within this framework, literary texts gain substance and intelligibility by being considered as instances of early modern knowledge production. At the same time, early modern science maintains strong affiliations with poetry because it understands art as a basis for producing knowledge. In identifying these interconnections between literature and science, this book contributes to scholarship in literary history, history of reading and the book, science studies and the history of academic disciplines.Cambridge studies in Renaissance literature and culture ;46.Science, Reading, & Renaissance LiteratureEnglish literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismScience in literatureLiterature and scienceEnglandHistory17th centuryLiterature and scienceEnglandHistory16th centuryBooks and readingEnglandHistory16th centuryBooks and readingEnglandHistory17th centuryRenaissanceEnglandGreat BritainIntellectual life16th centuryGreat BritainIntellectual life17th centuryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Science in literature.Literature and scienceHistoryLiterature and scienceHistoryBooks and readingHistoryBooks and readingHistoryRenaissance820.9/36Spiller Elizabeth477985UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457919403321Science, reading, and Renaissance literature265810UNINA
