While Spain is often thought to have taken little notice of the Scientific Revolution, García Santo-Tomás tells a different story, one that reveals Golden Age Spanish literature to be in close dialogue with the New Science. Drawing on the work of writers such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, and Quevedo, he helps us trace the influence of science and discovery on the rapidly developing and highly playful genre of the novel. Indeed, García Santo-Tomás makes a strong case that the rise of the novel cannot be fully understood without taking into account its relationship to the scientific discoveries of the period. 606 $aSpanish fiction$yClassical period, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and science$zSpain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aScience$zSpain$xHistory$y17th century 610 $aBaroque. 610 $aGalileo Galilei. 610 $aSpain. 610 $aliterature. 610 $aoptics. 615 0$aSpanish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and science$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xHistory 676 $a863.309 700 $aSanto-Tomas$b Enrique Garcia, $0573551 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838353003321 996 $aThe Refracted Muse$94144803 997 $aUNINA
