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. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Renaissance literature and culture ;$v46. 517 3 $aScience, Reading, & Renaissance Literature 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aScience in literature 606 $aLiterature and science$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLiterature and science$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aBooks and reading$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aBooks and reading$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aRenaissance$zEngland 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y17th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aScience in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and science$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and science$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aRenaissance 676 $a820.9/36 700 $aSpiller$b Elizabeth$0477985 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457919403321 996 $aScience, reading, and Renaissance literature$9265810 997 $aUNINA
