Advances in astronomy, such as the theories of Copernicus, the development of the telescope, and Galileo's discoveries and descriptions of the moon sparked intense debate in Early Modern literary discourse. The essays in this collection demonstrate that this discourse not only stimulated international discussion about lunar voyages and otherworldly habitation, but it also developed a political context in which these new discoveries and theories could correspond metaphorically to New World exploration and colonization, to socio-political unrest, and even to kingship and regicide. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine,$x2634-6443 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aCultural Theory 606 $aLiterary History 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aCultural Theory. 615 24$aLiterary History. 676 $a809/.93356 702 $aHayden$b Judy A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255246203321 996 $aLiterature in the Age of Celestial Discovery$92526128 997 $aUNINA
